COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM The county unit system of West Virginia gives the county superintendent a position of authority over the county school similar to that the city superintendent formerly had over the city schools. His duties are to recommend teachers to the Board of Education for employmentg to work out an educational plan for the county and to keep the schools working as a unit. The major part of his time is spent in supervising the schools of the county, especially those that have no other supervision. For the first time in West Virginia's school system it is necessary for wealthy centers to contribute financially to our schools in such a way that it is possible for the rural dis- tricts to have a school term and trained teachers that will be on a basis of equality with city schools. Trained supervisors are made possible for the first time in the rural schools. S g ,g.,,.lg 1 9 5 7 ..............................h........ '
