Election of schoo, trustees.

To the Editor of The TimcS-DiSpatch:
Sr,-From the standpoint Of theory.
there is nothing which sounds better
than the popular election OF school
trustees, from the standpoint OF prnc-
ticc, there is nothing which would work
out more disastrously. iii" reasons for
this arparcnt contradiction are easily
explained.
The duties of school trustees are
oncrous and important yet their sal
aries would be scorncd by street
swccp"rS Two out Of every three
rccciv" $40 per annum, and the third
tho clcrk-reccivcs 50. for each school
house within his individual district.
The state has u" officers who get less
pay. do more work and receive moro
abuse than these self Sacrificing. pa
tri"tic men They are appointed by an
electoral board Composed OF the divis-
ion superintendent, the Commemorative
Attorney and a private citizen appointed
by the Circuit Court judge. Upon this
electoral board rests the responsibility
of picking the best men from each com
munity TO serve as trustees. II is no
easy task. often persuasion and en-
treaty arc necessary 10 induce busy
men and competent men to serve in
such II capacity, for no good trustee
ever consents 20 serve without the sure
knowledge that such scrvicc will mean
the loss of time and money. IL some
valued friendships as well
Rv reason of their personal CharaC-
tors ard influence the members or thc
electoral board can often persuade good
men 10 accept the office. when no other
force would prevail These same good
men would scout the idea OF making "a
political race for the ofIicc--of quitting
their business and going through the
hand Shaking, cajplinE process OF vim
ming tn" popular vote. This would be
especially true in case utcy were OPP
posed 10y cheap characters, whose tino
amounted TO nothing. and who would
promise anything from lower taxation
