advanced at various times, pro
jects making for the betterment
of our schools, we have sought |
the assistance of all citizens, con-
fidently believing that the well
fare of the schools is dear to the
heart of every man, regardless
of his afiliation with other causes.
It is of profound qualification to
me that the plea for improved
conditions has been answered by
proffers of assistance from every
quarter of our school district, and
that the only return for such as
sistance has been made in a bet
ter school system and the graft
tude of the children who benefit
ed thereby.
My past record has proven that

paramount Importance to me and
makes unnecessary the assurance
that the course which / shall
suggest will not be taken without
