commissioner elect, who was the
principal speaker at the regular
weekly meeting of the Rotary club,

vanced, pointed out Mr.. Frazier, and
the teachers should certainly receive
as large a salary as their work justi-
fies. The speaker voiced the need Of
the best teachers obtainable.
A great opportunity to do some
constructive work is offered the
commissioner Of education during the
next four years, Mr.. Frazier declared.

total of 100000 for the next few
years to be spent in new buildings
and in repairing the old buildings.

arrangement. The early days of a
child spent in the schoolroom have
great influence upon the future

sioner."
Fairgrounds Needed.

beautifying and charging of the
Fairgrounds. Chattanooga, he said,
is sadly in need of larger Fairgrounds
around the schools. The recreation
grounds are essential, Mr.. Frazier
pointed out since child must be
developed physically as well as men
tally. He said that, if appointed, he
intended to look after the business
side of the schools. The professional
end of the department will be left to
a competent superintendent. In con-
ciusion he voiced the absolute neces-
sity of close cooperation and the
united effort of an toward better
schools.
