FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH BI-
PARTISAN BOARD PROVED
TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
WORKED FOR many YEARS
No Political Party Has Right to At
tempt 10 Control Educational
Facilities of Children.

During the past oght years the pub
lie schools Of Tulsa have been man
aged by partisan ana by bipartisan
boards Of education. The first eX-
perience OF bipartisan control grew
out Of a growing belief that the
schools would become more efficient
If their management were placed in
the hands Of citizens whose first in
children Of Tulsa rather than the well
fare Of either political party. In 1905
this proposal was purely experimental
but 1t seemed reasonable. II was
tried on It's merits.
The democratic and republican par
ties of Tulsa came to an agreement
that the board of education should be
made up Of men chosen first for their
fitness for this work. half of whom
should be democrats, half republicans.
For nearly six years this policy was
followed with marked success. With
out opportunity or desire to make the
schools of the city subserVe the In
terests Of either political party, the
board members worked unselfishly,
year after year, building up our
schools. Not n whisper of scandal
was ever heard in any quarter. No
charges of graft or inelciency ever
was made against any member Of the
board of education in all this time.
They built up Tulsa's schools to the
point where graduates of the high
school were received and accredited
with the state universities and other
educational institutions without re.
examination. They completed the two
buildings under construction when
they came into office. They built four
ward schools that are equal to any
in the state, yet at a cost below the
average over the state for similar
buildings. They increased the size Of
Tulsa district to accommodate all the
children within travelling distance Of
the corporate limits Of the city. They
did all this without cent Of salary,
purely because of their desire to see
the schools of Tulsa better than the
schools of any other city in Oklaho-
ma. And they turned over to their
successors a substantial building fund
for the erection Of additional school
buildings and the purchase of addi-
tional grounds as needed.
Meanwhile thousands of new citl-
zens had come to make their homes
here. None of these had lived in
Tulsa before the adoption of the BIZ
partisan policy of school management
None of them knew how under the
bipartisan management. No Tulsan,
at any time, cares to admit that there
ever was a time when Tulsa did not
lead the state in all things worth
while educational matters least of all.
Yet no one who has resided here eight
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1912-03-29

or ten years will question the state-
ment that marked advance has been
made within that time. An regret the
tangle that came about IN our school
affalrs two years or so ago. Tho
members Of the present board arc
good citizens, every one of them. They
have been identified with the growth
Remembering this all are forced to
the conclusion that II is serious
mistake TO allow the schools longer
to be identified with the fortunes OF
any political party, Like the church,
es and fraternal orslni2ations. the
schools should be forever taken out
OF politics The election of the Inde-
pendent citizens Ticket will be a long
step I'm this direction
These men will. II elected, give
their time and thought to the hest In
torests Of our schools and the best
education Of our children Every
woman In Tulsa is especially interest
ed in seeing that the children arc
properly educated and that the school
rooms are sanitary properly lighted,
well heated ana ventilated New
bindings as required must he pro-
ydcd \ bipartisan board viii work
with these things In view, not to build
up any political party But voters
must express themselves at the ballot
box Neglect here must not be per-
mittcd. Remember that the lndepen-
dent Citizens ticket is the bipartisan
ticket.
Vote early on election day, then see
that your neighbor who is Interested
In good schools does likewise.
