SCHOOL ELECTION SATURDAY
MAY THE 18TH

The school election is the most i'm
portant election at which each citizen
may exercise the right of suffrage,
yet the average citizen gives 1t the
least thought of all elections.
There is a real crisis in the con-
dition of our schools in Boone County
the lack of sufficient funds and
trained teachers are either quitting
the profession or going to other states
wherer salaries are more attractive
We must pay larger salaries if we ex-
pect to retain our efficient teachers
Without we'll trained efficient teach
ers, our schools can make no real
progress. 1t is the worst kind of false
economy to employ unframed. mex
perienced, and inefficient teachers be
cause they may be obtained for small
sa.aries.
At this election County Board of
Education consisting of five members
will be elected. The Jurisdiction in
regard to schools now vested in the
County Court hereafter will be vested
in the County Board of Education
They also will elect the County Sup
erintendent. The following five
names have been certified on the tick
ct by the election commissioners of
Boone County;
J. W. Slower, w. T. Nicholson, J. B.
Guier, DR.. D. K McCurray, and A. NJ.
HathcoCk.
Boone County should lead; First
In paying her faithful teachers enough
so that theses teachers can afford to
get proper professional training-our
boys and girls have a right to expect
that we give them competent and eff
cient teachers.
SeCond;-In appreciating and pre-
fering the trained teacher at fair
salary to the unframed or poorly pre-
pared teacher at a lower salary. This
is the business of evry voter-it is
vital to the educational welfare of
your children-what are you going to
say and do about it?
Third. In making the teachers
salaries large enough to cause un-
trained or poorly prepared teachers
to seek proper preparation and train
ing. A large number of our best
teachers have quit the profession.
For the sake of the children let us
do all that we can to cause many Of
our best young men and women to en-
ter the teaching profession.
We owe it to ourselves, to our child
rem, and to our country to make our
schools as efficient as possible. Some
of the fundamental necessities of good
schools are: adequate funds, efficient
teachers, loyal and cooperative school
patrons, and competent and faithful
boards. We must look well at this
time to the needs of our schools. Let
all friends of education go to the
polls on school election day and vote
an adequate school tax, and see that
made for the proper maintenance OF
our schools for the coming year
Respectfully,
ROBERT B. GASTON
County Superintendent.

COLLECTING AGENCY

The Times finds that It was taken
in by a collection agency who
represented that they would send a
man into this section to collect ac-
counts of all business houses in n
courteous manner and agreeable to all
parties concerned Instead they sent
out discourteous form letter to people
that did not deserve such treatment
We would ask all our subscribers who
received the letter to pay no attention

NATIONAL COLORS SEEN EVERYWHERE
 IN CITY FLAG DAY

Flags were visible yesterday from the roofs of buildings, fronts of stores, in windows and on residences. For in re- sponse to the request of the mayor, all Birmingham displayed the eolors of the United States on Flag Day
 Particularly were the symbols of the nation visible on the coat. lapels of men and women, boys and girls. Just as the streaming colors represented in the late war the faith of the country in it's army, so this little bow of red, white and blue represented the hope of the nation in a different fight, fight against Hitter acy.
 On street corners, in hotel lobbies de- pots and stores the sale of these small flags was conducted by girls and young women for the fight to teach the illit- crate people in Alabama to read and write.
 Flag Day was celebrated in other ways. It was marked by prayers of thanks of those who remembered an other Flag Day, only three years ago, when they were going through the first experience of seeing American boys sail for a foreign land to engage in war. The prayers were for the peace that has returned
 musical tribute to the flag and a short talk by Harry l.. White marked the Flag Day exercises of Lodge No. 79. Benevolent Protective Order of Elks The services were held at the lodge home on Eighth avenue and Nineteenth street.
