THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 25,1921 WANTICOUNTRY TOWNS TO NAME SCHOOL HEAD Representative Ca.tle Points Out the Reason* Many Voters Desire Change in Selection Of County Superintendent â€"iiâ€"«" ~iThat~Coo1c County's Supertrttcttdcnfr of Schools should be elected by the voters in the county outside the City of Chicago is the belief of many res- idents in the suburban communities in this vicinity. Howard P. Castle, representative from the Seventh Dis- trict in the House of Representatives in the Illinois General Assembly broached the subject in the following communication: "I believe there is a pretty general feeling that since the county superin- tendent of schools of Cook county has little, if anything, to do with the Chi- cago schools, his time and that of his assistants being entirely taken with the supervision of the schools out- side of Chicago, that he should be elected by the votes only of the peo- ple outside of Chicago. As yon know, it is practically impossible and always will be unless the law is changed to elect anyone county superintendent of schools, except some man from Chi- cago.
