Excerpt from Virginia School Report, 1918: Annual Report of the Superintendent of Public In this, my fifth annual report, I shall mention briefly the leading events of session 1916-17 and afterwards discuss the progress which the schools have made during the past five years. The quadrennial election of division superintendents, involving as usual quite a large number of changes, caused less interruption in the work of the schools, I am very happy to report, than any previous election that has come under my observation. This was due in no small measure to the prompt action of the State Board of Education in taking up the election on the earliest date named in the statute and in very large measure to the new requirements which placed the superintendency once and for all on a professional basis, eliminating the type of candidate that rested his claim to preferment on per sonal or political influence.
