Abstract
The county superintendent has long been recognized as part of the of the educational organization in the United States. The mixed ancestry of the office of county superintendent has resulted in a position whose functions and responsibilities differ widely from state to state.
The forty-eight states may be grouped into three general categories with reference to the county as a school unit: states having no county school organization, county-unit states, and states in which the county is the intermediate agency. There are nine states having no county school superintendent. Six of the states having no county superintendent are organized in supervisory unions. One state has a superintendency union and in another state the state department of education administer& schools directly. except for some independent districts. In the ninth state having no county superintendents, the rural schools are administered by a deputy state superintendent, while urban centers operate as independent districts with city superintendents as school administrators.
