 Editor Daily Miner:
 The public school of Ketchikan is doing such splendid work this year with our children that surely it must be another example of that "The best is the cheapest in the long run''
 In few days our local election takes place. Are We to have elected on the public board, men who are not fathers of the pupils of our school? and there fore not as well qualified to pass judg ment on matters appertaining to scholastic affairs as those who have children in daily attendance.
 Our children's schooling is of such vital importance that we can only afford to have the best educators ap- pointed, those who have had efficient training, practical experience and characters of the highest standing and this we certainly have this year and I sincerely hope there will be nc changes made for next year
 Truly yours.
