SCHOOL ELECTION

Tomorrow will occur the annual
election of directors for the Grants
Pass schools.
Citizens should take deep inter-
est in these school elections. Moth
ing means more to the welfare OF the
people in a community than good
schools, and the election OF the right
kind OF men and women to the
school board insures the right kind
of schools. In nine cases out OF
ten where schools become run down
and the tax payers money spent
without getting due results, the
trouble can be directly traced to a
lack Of interest in school elections
on the part o fthe electorate.
For the first time in the history OF
Oregon, every citizen can vote at a
school election. The old property
qualification, putting the dollar
mark ahead Of citizenship, was re-
moved by the last legislature. Any
man or woman over II years OF age
who has been living in Grants Pass
for 80 days can vote at tomorrow's
election.
II there is a good sized vote cast
