		In Jessop's case, a change of government signaled the end of his civil service career: newly-elected Premier George Walkem, one of Jessop's old adversaries in the Legislature, charged him with being "unfit in point of education for the position he held" and, shortly after, discharged him from this post.
		In his place, Walkem nominated MacKenzie, a friend of the new government and principal of the High School in Victoria.
		In law, the superintendent was responsible only to the Minister or Provincial Secretary, to the cabinet officials who informally comprised the Council of Public Instruction (for whom the superintendent acted as secretary), and to the legislature to whom the superintendent was obliged to report annually in writing on the state of the schools.
