with that of the territorial auditor. By act of the state legislature of February 15, 1869, the office of state superintendent of public instruction was created. The constitution of 1875 put the office on a constitutional basis and provided in section 24 of article V that "there shall be no allowance for clerk hire in the offices of the superintendent and attorney generaL" Under the decision of the Nebraska supreme court (25 Neb. 669), made in 1889, it was held that "clerk" as here used had its common-law meaning and did not include deputy or stenographer. The revision of the constitution in 1920 changes this section to fit present day conditions. The legislature of 1917 put the election of state superintendent on a non-partisan basis. A constitutional amendment adopted September 21, 1920, extended the term of the superintendent to four years, beginning in 1923.
DUTIES AND POWERS. The superintendent is required to--
1. Organize teachers' normal institutes and attend them if possible.
2. Visit schools and advise with teachers and state officers.
