II think one OF the most trying du-
tiss of the board is the selection OF
teachers, and as 1t is very seldom that
a4personal. application is made, and
so many times that reference letters
mean 30 little, that it makes the work
difficult. a.
Zone Of the main essentials of the
board Is to know their business, and
the only way they can become prof.
cisnt in this is to know exactly what
the school is doing and to see the
school in operation. Our state law
requires each member of the board to
visit the schools twice during each
year, and 1t should be the duty OF eash
member to know, through his or her
own observation, what each teacher is
doing. In the cities. of course, they
have Teachers, committee whose
duty 1t Is to pass on these matters and
to look after that part of the board 8

matters there 10 no question but what

count OF their insxpereience in active

work, and the first requisite for doinl
this work we'll is that you should know
exactly what you are doing and exactly y
why you are handling it as you do
and the best way OF becoming capable
for all these duties is by continued
study of schools and school systems al

forms theories of what schools should

THE work of the Board of Educa.
tion is the most important in the COM
munity. 1t is business that needs
careful attention and should be han
died by experienced heads, whether it
be a man or woman. So far5as Hope
is concerned, it is no different from
any other locality. No one member
of the board can bs expected to know
all the details in connection with the
work OF the board, and for the part
that the women are particularly va lu-
able in l cannot help but feel that the
women of Hope are very we'll repre-
sented on the board at the present
time.
ut seems to me that the women
should take more interest than they do
in our schools. In 1918, out of 4S votes

out~of % votes cast only 4 were wo-
men,
