a well-known and very intelligent
sitissn was asked the other day II he
would be candidate for the Board oil
Education. He replied that much de-
pended spsn the class Of men likely 10
be elected, and remarked that owing 70
the fact that number Of incompetent
and unworthy men had bsen elected, II
was no longer credit to be q member
of that body. He would not be can
didate, he further said, IL men Of this
GLASS were likely 10 be chosen In any Of
the WARDS.
This expression appears 10 be tho
sentiments Of q majority Of the oitissDs
spoken Of 90 candidates, and the truth
Of the assertion that the Board Of Rdu-
cation does net maintain it, high stand
ing OF some years ago cannot be gsin-
Issid. The citisens arc also realizing the
faes slowly. but the interest taken In
the matter 10 disoouraginsly small. II
10 not the intention in this article to
make any intimstion ss to who the
members unfit 10 be in the Board are,
as general talk upon the street does,
bnt simply call the attention Of the
citizens to how the matter stands and
who arc talked Of ss candidates, with q
view to creating more Of an interest,
that they may take hold OF the subject
In manner becoming one Interested ip
public edacation. Just here It may be
observed that nearly all tho gsntlemss
thus far suggested would bs likely TO
serve In the Board in manner credit
able 70 themselves and acceptable to
their constituents.
The election will be held on tho hrst
Saturday in May, which comes on sLe
lst inst, and It Is therefore Just three
weeks distant. Although there 10 plsn.
