School Directors.

Next to the Road Commissioners, the
most important officers in the several
towns will be the School Directors.
We would earnestly urge that great
care be taken in the selection of these
officers. 1t is not necessary, in order
to secure the best schools, that school
teachers or men interested in educa-
tional methods be chosen. Practical,
everyday, successful business men make
the best school officers. The most
successful schools in this part of the
State, the graded schools of West Ran
dolph and Bethel, owe their success to
the fact that clearheaded, practical
business men have been in charge OF
them from the beginning. A school
must be run the same as any other
business enterprise, on business prin-
ciples, in order to secure the best re-
suits from the money expended. 1t is
not theorists who make successful COM
mittee men or the best school direc-
tors. The law says that towns may
elect three or SIX men but ift three can
look after the town business as select
men, no more are needed as directors.
Care should be taken to elect men who
will make as few changes as possible
in school districts. The people want
to become acquainted with the working
of the town system before district lines
are much changed; and we notice that
in towns where the system has been
the most successful, the fewest changes
have been made. The first essential
of successful school is harmony in
the district the second, good practical
school officers, and the third, good
teachers.
