Gentlemen: This meeting is really
to be regarded as an informal gather
ing of the city's two representative in
stitutions. The Board of Councilmen
and the Board of Education both being
elected by the city at large. Our meet
ing place being a public institution
erected by the city 1t is deemed SEEM
| ly and proper that this meeting should
have as its presiding officer that per-
son who holds the destiny of the city
in hands, and I hope that all those
present will bring to this occasion thu
spirit expressed in the oath of the
Athenian Youth.
1--WE will never bring disgrace to this
our city, by any act of dishonesty or
cowardice, nor ever desert our suffer
ing comrades in the ranks. We will
fight for the ideals and sacred things
of the city, both alone and with many.
We will revere and obey the city''
laws and do our best to incite like
respect and reverence in those abou;
| US who are apt to set them at naught
We will strive increasingly to quicken
the publics sense of civic duty. Thus
in all these ways we will transmit this
city to those not less, but greater, bet
ter and more beautiful than it wa
transmitted to us.
81 now have the very great pleasure
of introducing to you the honorable
and genial Thomas NJ Russell, Mays
ville's progressive and up-to-date and
live wire Mayor, and as President OF
the Board of Education and interested
in the welfare of the city, it is my hope
that Maysville under the present ad-
ministration will grow in wealth, pow.
er and prosperity until it will not only
be the pride of her native citizens but
of the whole country"
The meeting will be marked down
as the beginning of better feeling be-
tween council and the school authori
ties. Between previous boards of coun.
Gil and boards of education there has
been an uncalled for sort of feeling
that did not promote the best interest:
Of the city in general and the public
generally will be glad to know tha
the present boards are realizing thai
they are both servants of the public
and both should work together TOWARD
the better interests Of all.
