Student Aid Fund of Berea College

School Board Duties.

OMAHA. Nov. 13-To the Editor OK The
Bee At the last city election. as IN
many past, was at q loss TO know how
20 vote on the School board. This matter
has always puzzled me and ! know that
IT. Is equally puzzling 10 many others.
Therefore, ! feel that you will bestow a
great favor upon many II you will answer
the following question:
What are the duties ~ n member OF
the School board, or rather. what part
does the School board have In the educa-
ton OF our children, and In what way IS
a member OF the School board paid Tor
his service?"
Thanking you, as Will a great many Of
your readers, I am. \ VOTER.
The School board in Omaha, made
up OF twelve elective members, has
complete charge OF the administers
ton Of the public schools. It has
just as much, II not more, power in
Omaha than have the school trustees
In a country school district, but 1t has
come to exercise that power accord
ing to fixed rules and precedent
which amount to self-established
limitations. AS q consequence the
part of the School board in the school
room work of educating the children
Is performed through the superin-
teEdent Of schools and his corps of
principals and teachers whose recon-
mendation or orders are subject to
approval or reversal by the board.
The fact that this power to overrule
the superintendent is not often exer-
cised in any drastic way does not
make it less real.
The main part OF the School board
in the education Of our children
arises from the control OF the purse
strings. Not a dollar of school money
may be lawfully expended except by
the board. The board makes the
budget, fixes the school tax rate. for
mulates bond propositions, sells the
bonds and disburses the proceeds.
Under the law a member of the
School board receives no pay for his
services; membership is supposed to
he entirely honorary and uncompen-
stated. Everyone knows, however,
that the temptation is strong to use
the position for personal advantage,
and we have had many cases OF sis
tors, cousins and aunts attached to
the payroll merely because of rela-
tionship or dependence upon some
school board member. Some men,
bers of the School board also have
been able. by judicious trading, to
put themselves on the payroll on
their retirement, although these in
stances have been exceptional.
For these places on the School
board, It goes without saying we
ought 60 command the most intelli-
gent and highest grade of our citi-
zenship and particularly men who
may be depended upon to perform
the duties wholly and solely in the
interest Of the children who look to
the public schools for their educa-
ton,

Mr.. Bryan does not share popular DEM

the enormous crowds that greeted him
whenever he appeared represented vot-

prospects IN many circles seemed bright.
But they proved deceptive. Mr.. Bryan
and his supporters suffered three deep
disappointments.

leader wary. He fears the republicans

jubilation. lie wants them to work hard
