and truly discharge the trust reposed in them.
Appreciating this responsibility, will, should
be elected, perform my duty as Director

To be elected School Director is one of the
most sacred trusts that could be imposed on
board l shall discharge my duties with
scrupulous regard for the welfare of the chill
dren and the public.
William A. Kemp, 8 young business
man of this City, said:
know of no branch OF the National, State
or Municipal Government which demands
from any of its represe natives a more exact
discharge of public duty and trust than that
OF MANAGING the public schools, as they should
entire people.
William T. Kibbler, prosperous and
successful chemist aud resident of the ban
ner Republican district the Thirty ninth,
said:
look upon a well-conducted public school
system as one OF the safest and strongest bull
warks OF our great American republican form
OF government, and the American citizen who
would attempt to destroy its usefulness is a
secret enemy of the country and its institu-
tions. If elected shall make it my special
study to keep our school system free from
everything that might in any manner tend to
injure its high purpose.
G. A. Kohn, a City-front merchant,
well known for his sterling business quail
ties, expressed himself as follows:
The taxpayers of San Francisco contribute
most cheerfuily TO the support of the common
schools In this they stand second to no other
country's citizens on the face OF the globe.
should consider 1t worse than high treason for
a School Director to be guilty of the misman-
in hv hie
fellow-citiZens.
DR.. Ernest II. Mattner said:
Some wise statesman said that public office
is public trust. go further and say that the
office OF Director OF the Public Schools. where
our children are being educated, is one of the
most sacred of trusts. And to my mind the
American who would abuse this most sacred
OF trusts should be driven out of the COM
munlty by the same method that the early
settlers in the mining camps drove out the
horse thieves and robbers. With this view of
the responsibility resting on me, should I be
elected, will, If in my power, keep in mind
the exalted position of the peoples schools for
our dear children.
William II. Powers, connected with the
printing house of Hicks, Judd & Co.. said I;
have been friend of the public school sys-
tenn of education for the American children
all through life because I recognize that in
country be kept loyal to itself and obedIent to
It's laws and institutions. 1t Levels all barriers
between the rich and the poor. 1t imbues that
equality among he masses that forever pre-
vents classes and teaches that all men are
equal before the law With appreciation of its
great benefits 1t will be my aim If elected to
perform the duties of a Director to the very
best OF my ability.
DR.. j. n. Soper, at present member of
the Board of Education, needs no ex-
tended INTRODUCTION to the voters. He
said:
Since my appointment to the Board OF Edu-
ca ton have performed my duty to the very
best of my ability. To continue to do so shall
be the ambition of my life.
F.. L. TuIpin, proprietor of several
hotels and lodging houses, said:
From the high personal character of my as
| sociates on the Republican ticket for School
| Directors the people of this City need have no
| lear regarding the MANAGEMENT of the schools
| for the next two years. With such fine body
| OF men could not do wrong, even If l wished
| to, but have no such intention or inclina-
ton. consider man holding the position
| OF School Director equal to that of a father in
| his own family. The children's welfare should
| be looked after with jealous care. They are
| the wards of the people and the directors are
| their guardians. Hence no man should as
sumo to become the guardian OF a ward who
knows and believes he has not the ability TO
/ care for his charge. ! shall consider 1t my
| duty to look after the thousands of little ones
with the same care and attention as would
my own children.
