SCHOOL TRUSTEES ELECTION
SATURDAY, APRIL o, 1910

The sub district school election will
take place to elect school trustees to
look after the interests of the schools
for the next two years and to deter
mine the millage that is to run them.
This is an important interest; indeed,
there il none greater to the districts,
and we trust the people of each dis
trict will see that thoroughly capable
ben and those heartily interested in
school work will be continued as trus-
tees, or that men of that stamp will be
selected for those important positions.
Ocala will be called upon to give this
interest consideration. There are three
trustees. The present incumbents are
Messrs. w. T. Gary. g. w. Martin and
j. r. Chace. They have served sew
eral terms and have been Jealous,
steadfast, faithful and efficient school
officials. We do not know whether
these gentlemen will serve another
term. This fact should be ascertained,
and If not Ocala should see there is no
mistake made in this particular. We
need good men of clear Judgment i'm
partial in official acts, willing TO see
under trying and exciting Circumstance
IS that the fair and just thing is done.
This district is seriously embarrass-
ed financially The building of the
new primary school has put the town
under great stress, as most of that
money is still owed and must be pro-
vided for, we'll as looking ahead for
the maintenance Of the school and
therefore it behOoves us to see that if
the old trustees will not serve that the
right men are selected. In this case
how should it be done? Why not call q
special school mass meeting and look
over the available and desirable sub
jects and select them? And when il
comes to electing them there can be nC
mistake. The interests involved are
too great to make a mistake. What
do the patrons and friends of the
school think of this suggestion?
