/ STATEMENT FROM
THE SCHOOL BOARD

In order that some facts may be
set Alright before the public, the
board OF education feels that the fol-
lowing statement may properly be
made:
When the question came up a few
weeks ago regarding putting the
schools under a single superintend-
ent. there was division Of sentiment
among the members of the board, but
the majority OF the board sincerely
believed that the single system would
be the best.
After the meeting at the Y. NJ. C.
A. Tuesday night, grave considera-
ton was given to the petitions and
requests made by thos. present, s5;:t
the board was unanimous in its be-
lief that the previous actions OF the
board had gone too far to be changed
at that late date. 1t would have com
plicafed affairs much worse to have
rescinded former actions then, and
started over again.
In all its deliberations the board is
glad to consider the wishes OF the
people OF this school district and
courts the freest expression from all.
The board is sincerely trying 20 do
what is for the best interest Of the
schools It urges your cooperation
and hearty support for those in
charge of the schools next year.
Their success and the success OF your
children in the schools viii depend
largely upon this.
Respectfully,
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
