This fight has ended. and Supt
Thurston has been reelected. The
statement made to me repeatedly to-
day has been. Whichever way 1t goes,
the schools are bound to suffer- With
the superintendent of schools and the
president of the board at odds, it
means confusion, division and nothing

my view would not prevail I was urged
not TO vote against the superintendent

conviction Of duty IL I did not record
my vote.

tntendent and the board will work to-
gether. not to entrench anybody in Of
nee, or to weaken anybody in office, but
TO serve the cause of education.
IF anybody thinks that this motion
means a policy of 1aissez -faire' on my
part they need not hug that delusion.
It means cooperation and advance, SO
Tar as / have the power to put that
meaning into II.
The board through these trying
weeks. while this matter has been
pending, has never had its delihera-
tions marred by the slightest bitterness
or wrangting. Those who sit on this
board have felt intensely and have diff
fered widely. and have expressed their

and good feeling.
