OUR EXEMPTION BOARDS

Two special class of our citizens
have done patriotic duty of the high
est Importance. They have not had
ed very much praise. We understand
they are now to be disbanded in their
official capacity, and feel that
word of appreciation is due them. We
refer to our exemption boards and the
men, who without pay, assisted the
registrant to correctly make out his
QUESTIONABLE.
Exemption Boards were difficult ones,
calling for quick discrimination and
excellent judgment. Many of the men
appointed have carried out the work
at the sacrifice of their own private
interests They have had to deal with
men of every kind, rich and poor
the patriot, the Stacker, the conscien-
tious objecto..
Yet how little criticism of them
there has beeH-hcw few accusations
of unfairness! The overwhelming ma
jority of these men have performed
their duty with strict honesty, great
fairness and infinite patience and
kindness Many young men are CRATE
full to the members of their exemp-
ton board for fatherly interest and
kind advice. The influence of the
boards has been strongly for good.
