We have called discipline moral heroism : the his- tory of supervision in this country has been too largely a history of moral cowardice, if not moral perversion. This is due to the system of getting super- vision rather than to the wilful perversity of men. If the aim had been to deprive the su- perintendent of his conscience and make the schools a laughing-stock, a more ingenious system than ours could not have been devised to that end. The prime cause of the failure of our supervision was th...e original blunder of connecting it with politics. A little re- flection might have foreseen the evil fruits of such a plan.
