New Plan Aims At Electing County School Supervisor
A proposed bill would replace political party driven county superintendent elections with a non partisan system. It would place candidates on the ballot by petition of teachers and allow women to vote for county superintendents at school meetings. The plan seeks to reduce state costs and keep school management non partisan. Mrs Nettie Booth Wegg attended the Attic Angels charity ball at Madison University gym marking the season opening.
