Thursday evening the Frisco pulled
through this city for st. Louis train

the local and through freight trains

In Defense Of the Board.
/. Z. BoYER.

In a long article defending the
State Board of Education against
recent criticisms, the Richmond
Times-Dispatch calls attention to
two very significant facts. The
first Is that while the newspapers
have been full OF protests and evil
dences Of dissatisfaction in connec-
ton with the appointment of
county and city superintendent.
the specific instances of such dis
satisfaction are comparatively few.
The number of appointment made
was considerably over 100, whereas
there have been protests from only
about half a dozen counties and
cities. This percentage is not
large. ltwould have been remark
able if it had been less
The more significant fact is that
in not single instance has the
objection to the board s action been
based upon the unfitness of the
man appointed. Ia every such
case the ground of complaint given
is that local sentiment was not con-
suited. or if consulted it was not
regarded. Some Of the new APP
pointees are evidently not popular.
but nobody charges that they are
not efficient. Local pride, per-
sonal and political disappointment.
are evidently at the bottom of most
of the dissatisfaction that has been
so loudly expressed. The Times
Dispatch makes the point that it is
the business of the State Board of
Education to put tie schools of the
counties and cities under the man
agement of competen. rather than
popular men. 1t is likely that in
its work this year the board has
set more competency than was
ever done Lefore in naming the
division superintendent of the
State.
When the board. in our opinion,
laid itself open TO just criticism was
in the secretive manner in which
its work was done. Nobody was
even permitted to know who was
applying for appointment. The |
newspapers were denied access
to the list. for publication. The |
result was that in some cases the
people OF county or a city did not
know their future superintendent

was an applicant until his name
was announced as the appointee.
While acting within their rights,
no doubt, members of the board as
practical men ought To know human
nature well enough to have realized
that such policy was ill-advised
and that action taken under such
conditions, no matter how wise,
was sure to be resented as auto
cratic and arbitrary.
Then, again, there never was
any good reason why individuals
and delegations who desired TO APP
pear before the board should not
have been permitted to do so. The
exclusion of reputable citizens who
desired to be heard upon matter
of great moment locally was too
much like the denial of the ancient
right of petition. The board need
not To have been governed by the
wishes and arguments of those who
appeared before it, hut it was not
asking much when they simply
asked to Toe heard. 1t is not sur
prising that those who were denied
this simple privilege came away
full of resentment.
The work of the State Board,
we believe, will be indicated by
the test of time. Having con-
tidcnce in the good faith and integ-
rity OF its members, it is all the
more to be regretted that the
manner in which some of this
work was done is open to fair criti-
cism. HarriSonburg News.
