In the counties OF Virginia trustees
IRE chusen now by an electoral schoo
board, composed OF the division SUPER
intendent. the Commemorative attor-
ney and citizen selected by The Iudr.
OF the Circuit Court They serve f,r
term OF three years. and their duties
are numerous, eXacting and oftent!mcs
exceedingly disagreeab!o Among these
duties are such important services as
the election OF teachers, the building
or scnoolhouses, the raising OF local
Scnool. FUNDS. the making OF rules for
the government OF the schools, the set
tiement OF disputes and difficulties be-
tween teachers, patrons and pupils. the
selection of schoolhouse sites, the huy-
sEE Of all school supplies. etc. In con-
junction with the division suDerinteno
ayers or the public school system. To
perform their duties well they should
be men OF influence, intelligence ediI-
cation and property.
The salaries OF trustees arc absurdly
low. Two out OF three on each district
hoard hoard receive go per year, and me
Schoolhouse in his district.
If this isn't patriotic service, what
Is IT? So much for the duties, salaries
and qualifications OF these important
officers. Now let us glance at Inc
personnel of the electoral board and
see how far Its members are removed
from the people, In whose interest
the proposed change is made. or al
legged to DC made.
The Commemorative attorney comes
directly from the people. and liz elected
by the people. The citizen member of
the board comes directly from the peo-
pie, md the division superintendent,
from the people he serves. and is
elected by board three of whose Ave
members are elected by the people Is
this stripping the people OF their

Of the capacity 10 select their
own officers? surely. not. on the con
trary. the balance. of power is largely
in their own hands.
Now. what of the capacity of the
electoral board to choose good trus-
tees?
i. The board is one of official influ-
cncc. and two of it's members at least
possess wide acquaintance among
encc and acquaintance its members
can. and often do. succeed In getting
men of solid worth to accept trustee
ships, who would never. of their own
Initiative take the Office. and who
would certainly never run for It,.

It re- qulred much urging to over- come the natural reticence of the musician and prevail upon him for another selection, but he was finally persuaded and sang the old and popular south eastern Alaska ballad, "When the Salmon Pack Is over for the Year." Which was greeted with applause.
 Sam next took the stage with difidence, realizing that he had hard proposition Presently the faint warbling echoes be- gan to collect into a distinctly articulate harmony and the thrilling cadences of "Just Song at Twilighto were waited to the listening masses.

 The audience was 10 act as musical critics and judge as 10 the contest, but so evenly were the contestants that it was impossible to a. ward the gold medal all dthe side bets After much urging for more the contest was fin ally adjodged to be draw and it is reported that the contest ants will hire Red Mems Hall at an early date to make final appearance to determine who is the better warbler.
