STRAW TOOK FIRE
WHILE BA|L|NG

On Tuesday of last week while
Ed Holtz of Cameron township was
doing some battling, the straw took
fire from the engine and a few
moments later the gasoline tank
was aflame. The loss was light
however, as they pulled their ma
chinery out on the plowed ground
before the flames reached it. A
favorable wind saved the straw
which was already bailed SO it
was a lucky ending all around.

THE EDUCATION BOARD

The impending ENHANCEMENT over
OAe appointment of members to NIL
three vacancies on the Board of Edu-
cation next June again emphasizes
the need of having these members
named by the Commissioners.
1t is unfortunate that the Mothers
Congress should have become in
volved in the matter of naming
Board of Education officials. The
congress is the central organization
Of more than forty parent-teacher
bodies. The original and primary
purpose of these organizations was
to afford the parents of the schools
an independent channel of express
sion, and to represent only the inter-
ests of school children.
Through the affiliation of members
of this organization with the Board
of Education it is conceivable that
proper criticism of the board may be
soft pedaled. And if the offices of
the Mothers Congress are to be re-
garded merely as stepping stones to
positions on the board then the con-
gress will have lost its most valuable
and effective functions as an indie
pendent organization affiliated with
the schools.
One of the reasons for the passage
of the new social center meas sure was
to throw open schools to a wider use
by parents as we'll as by children
and to bring the parents more d.
rectly in touch with the operations
Of the school system. But the pa
rents should see to it that they pre-
serve their Independent position, not
necessarily in anticipation of any
disagreement with the board, but as
a wholesome check and a sort OF
general referendum power.
