faithful and efficient superintend
ept, and under whose care the schools
have greatly prospered. be it resell
we'd, that the School Board as body,
does hereby heartily endorse the said
Il G Joynes, superintendent, for re
appointment to the position he now
holds.
Whereas, our public school terms
are now 80 short, that 1t is impossi
BILE for the children OF our county to
secure through the public schools
such an education as they should
have and to which they are justly
entitled at the hands OF the present
generations OF parents, and whereas,
there seem to be but slight prospect
for any material increase Of appropri
alton from the State for public school
purposes, therefore be 1t resolved,
that the County School Board, In an
1ual meeting assembled, hereby ex-
presses the belief, that relief from
the present educational condition In
our county is not prob able from any
outside source, and that the people
OF the county must relieve them.
serves cefore relief can be had, there
fore, it becomes actually necessary
to raise more money from among
themselves, before we can have such
schools our children's interest and
the age and conditions In which we
live demand.
