Jludcnl Studies Superintendents U^Eiglity-one county superintend- iri ,ts in Texas perform 85 different Xaj rvices and activities, according- ^ a jsurvey made by Byron Bar- 'r, graduate student at A&M for ji/e Texas Association of County • Riperintendents. i a Dr.l Paul Hensarling, head of the 0 j f .;partment of Education and Psy- ology at A&M, directed the re- ^arch. —-The county superintendents per- ~~rm i the services for 466 inde- U indent and 233 common or rural "£gh I school districts. In their j a(i .unty schools they have 2,117 'eeiachers, 64 nurses, 55 counselors, n 8 : supervisors, 36 librarians, 13 special education personnel, 52 r siting teachers and 50 other pro personnel of various imp!'. g, >ssional 131 pes. Iart The 81 counties serve 44,508 j„ udefits in common and rural hig-h llfhools- hi n . Twenty-eight county superinten- —nts operate transportation sys- ms for all schools in the county, iiile 26 serve part of the schools II her than their own. All of them ive some responsibility for trans portation of school children. There are 1,341 buses in the 81 counties. “Although 81 represents 50 per cent of all counties having county superintendents,” Barber said, “it is a good geographical sampling because responses came from all over Texas.” The study describes some of the most -effective or successful serv ices. In addition to the regular in struction program and the legal responsibilities of the county su perintendents, the most frequently reported were guidance, counsel ing, testing, health, in-service edu cation for teachers, teaching aids center, food, transportation,* busi ness management, career days, civil defense, adult education, and interpretation of the school pro grams to the public. Publication of the data, Barber said in his report, is not to sug gest that any given practice should be adopted in the county because it was successful in another coun ty. Many of the services reported would need to be modified, if used at all, under any other set of cir cumstances. A Kiss George F.
