the Boards ofEducation of Ma
son County.
Gsntlsmen:-Sincs two men,
bers of each Board of Education in
this state come into office on the
lst day of July, l wish to make q
few suggestions to the Boards of
Mason county.
The future prosperity and well
fare Of this great country of ours
will soon be in the hands of those
who are now in the schools. That
which tends to advance and i'm
prove our own children is of vital
Importance to us and the citizen
ship of our country depends upon
the interest We manifest in the
public schools. Mason county has
had for number of years over
1000 children of school age, yet We
are not producing enough teachers
to teach our own schools and We
will be in greater need of teachers
from abroad this year than ever be-
fore. Tue success or failure of the
schools of district depend largely
on the attitude of the Board of
Education in school matters. No
man should be too busy or too big
to serve as trustee. Appoint fol
trustees the best men possible,
men who are intelligent and stand
for better schools. Much. corrup.
tion and waste Of money is due to
careless trustees who are not inter.
ested,
Above all things make material
raise in the teachers wages. Then
help us to see that your schools
are properly taught. In the May
examinations Mason county had
% applicants for certificates, II of
whom failed entirely, and only two
first grades were issued. This
means that the State Department
of Schools and your county board
of examiners are raising the stand
ard of teachers. Now, will you
not help in this greatest and most
important work on earth By closing
out as many evils in your district
as possible. and by paying the few
teachers We do have wages sufh.
oient for them to live and educate
themselvesH Respectfully submit.
