Educational.

Saturday last the election OF members loF
the board of education was had at the once
If ESQ. Lockwood, resulting in the reelection
of d. z. Snow, who received 81 Votes' ana
w. J. Dwycr, who was also reelected, ne re-
coiying 20 votes. There are two Offices Whleh,
apparently, seem To possess but NIUE interest
for the great mass Of voters, namely, those OF
member of the board of education aud school
trustee. In fact not one in 20 knows when
such electors are held, and the lack OF
interest generally taken in these elections Is
certainly dcplorable. There are no elective
offices more intimately connected with the
welfare of a community than these, and one
would think that such elections would draw
ont the attention commcasurably with their
great importance Taxpayers will RAISE a
big hubbub about other matters OF minor I'M
nortance. while they seem to take little or no
heed of those here referred to. ltseems to be a
matter of Indifference to them who fills these
offices. And yet good deal depends upon the
sagacity, honesty and ability of those chosen
rs trustees and members of the board of cdu-
cation. The former are intrustcd with the
malicious disbursement Of large sums OF
money in aid of the schools, and to do this
honestly and well they should have good
liberal cducation On the other hand the
members of the board ill equally as import
ant and responsible positions. They are given
the appointing power 10 select teachers, and
the position they occupy in regard to the flu
turc welfare Of society is one which demands
that they be thoroughly acquainted with the
needs and requirements of our schools, and TO
thoroughly understand what their duty is
They too should he possessed of educational
advantages derived from study, experience
and close observation. It i difficult to nm
derstand why This state of affairs obtains rs
regards these offices. In many of the town
ships throughout the State the election Tor
school trustees Is held at the annual spring
election, when the people assemble together,
and they are able to vote more intclli%enlly ON
the question. It would no doubt be condu-
Give to a proper appreciation of the responsi-
bilties with which these offices are weighted,
if the elections for them were held nj the time
Of the annual election of township officers.
