The Grafton papers of both political
faiths are emphasizing the fact that
their favorite candidates for the presi-
iency Of the board of education are ma
eninists. Since the schools of Grafton
do not include manual training ana tae
trades in their curriculums, what boots
it whether the president of tne board OF
education ever saw a machine mucn less
knows now to repair or max. one? Tine
inference is that there are many machin.
lists in Grafton and upon that class
hinges the majority of either candidate.
Machinists, however, nave sense enough
to know the fact that the quail
ficntion of machinist is not requisite 10
n llrst-class school commissioner or
president of the school board. A ply
stefan under existing law is better fitted
for tins place because of tae fact that
hygiene is an essential in the conduct oil
schools. And in the Grafton case, since
both are macninists and one in add;
ton physician, the Doctor certainly
has the call on the other fellow so far
as actual qualifications ara concerned.
