in each county returned for participation in the educational fund, and
the amount drawn by each county out of that fund. He is _ex-officio

This properly ends the executive department as fixed by the
Constitution, but there are other State officers whose duties are such
that they really belong to the same class, and may be considered under
this head.

The _Attorney-General_ is the legal adviser of the executive
department. He represents the State in all capital felonies in the
Supreme Court, and in all civil and criminal cases in any court when
required to do so by the Governor. He is elected by the people for a
term of two years, and the same qualifications for this office apply as
do those for judges of the Supreme Court.

The _State Superintendent of Schools_ is elected at the time when the
Governor is elected, for a term of two years. He is charged with the
administration of the school laws. He has general superintendence of
the business relating to public schools. It is his duty to instruct
all officers under him as he thinks necessary for the better discharge
of their duties, and to inspect the various schools of the State. He
disburses the school fund according to the number of children between
the ages of six and eighteen years in each county.

He is the Secretary and Executive Agent of the State Board of Education.

With the consent and approval of the State Board of Education, he may
appoint three _State School Supervisors_ to act under his direction and
give normal instruction and training in each county; to grade, when
required, the papers of applicants for professional certificates; and
to aid him generally in supervising, systematizing, and improving the
schools of the State. He appoints, with the advice and consent of the
State Board of Education, an experienced _auditor_ to examine and
report on the accounts of all schools and colleges receiving State aid.

The State Superintendent of Schools is _ex-officio_ a member of the
State Board of Education, the State School-Book Commission, the State
Geological Board, the Board of Trustees of the State Normal School
