Such an amendment. II adopted by the people, will

Affected viz. the educational Institutions. IL will
retard efficiency. There j. enough politics In our

A much better plan would be 70 appoint the

the boards continuous, naming two members for
six years. This would insure four members who are
familiar with the affairs Of a given institution who
know what policy is being followed and who are
prepared 10 give the benefit Of their training and
experience to the work.
We are heartily in accord with a policy which
