TOO MUCH EFFIcIENcY
BY ROY K. MouLToN

Once there was a Traffic Policeman
named Jim and jim was right onto
lis job and knew all the King Pins
and all so when any Of the Commits
sioners came along in their Limousines
Jim always gave the Chauffeurs the
high sign to come ahead, and the Com
missioners never had to wait or any
thing and they all liked Jim and used
to slip him cigars when they passed
and Jim was glad because there was
talk in the department about vacancy
among the Sergeants and Jim knew all
the Commissioners and he was almost
bowled over when he heard that the
Job went to the cop in the next block
below who never was friendly with
the Commissioners because he would
not let them through but used to hold
them up and when he asked one Of
the Commissioners why the other fell
low got the Job instead of Jim, the
Commissioner said, Wed rather have
you here because you always let US
go through the traffic." and Jim was
so surprised he didn't answer his wife

what kind of a Traffic Policeman he

The Retirement Of DR.. Johnston From the
School Board

The retirement of Dr. Johnston from the
school board removes man who for many years
brought high intelligence and lofty sense of
duty to the performance of his work. Thorough
~ conscientious, arriving at conclusions after a
study of problems, and courageous in sticking by
his opinions despite the clamor of opposition, Dr.
Johnston gave good service to the community
il, helping shape and execute its school policy.
DR.. Johnston made study of school admins
tration in its broader aspects and as it pertains
to members of school board, who are respons-
lille to the city for the general policy carried out
by the superintendent and through him by the
principals and teachers of the grade and high
schools. His study of developments in the edu-
cational world enabled him to advise and assist
the board in adopting plans that kept Richmond
schools to the forefront in Indiana for excellence
and the adoption of courses that really prepared
pupils for their life's work.
During his days the board the Richmond
schools made many notable advances, and he,
with his feIlow-members, may look back with
pride upon the system now in vogue and upon
plans that are being executed for its develop
ment. Members of the board speak of his hard
working and conscientious discharge Of duty, his
enterprise and his study of school affairs The
rising vote of thanks given to him by the city
school system of Richmond .reaped benefit from
his presence on the board that cannot be express
sed in material terms.
