Citizens Committee Comment
Clarence j. Pyle, chairman of the
Citizens School Committee, In speak
ing of the election. said: 1T Is GER
tain that the Citizens School Com
mittee has done real good thus far II
only in. stirring up interest on the
part Of our citizens In their school
afTairs. Heretofore less than 5000
voters have gone To the polls Co vote
at school election. Tomorrow we an
ticipate a vote Of at least 10000. With
this interest evinced, the committee
has every reason 60 believe that the
i've persons who have received place
on the Citizens Committee ticket will
be elected. | am convinced that our
citizens want change in the manage
ment of their school affairs. To get
that change and knowing that the
Citizens School Committees ticket
stands for what they want. they are
going To show their interest Ia the
childrens welfare tomorrow. The
Citizens School Committee h the only
organization that has gene on record
for a board composed OF I'VE men and
two women. Every effort should be
made TO see that two women are elect
cd as this will establish "a precedent
which easily could be maintained
thereafter. The campaign waged by
our committee has been clean and ac-
tive. We have not resortcd to any att
tack upon others who are candidates
for the board, but have gone along
backing up those whom we know to
be qualified for the office and who
have the time to give TO this isnpor-
tant work without expectin one cent
OF compensation from the city for
their service. we shall have no paid
workers at the polls tomorrow. Each
person working for our cause has
volunteered his or her services.
''Our candidates are pledged to the
Citizens School Committee for but
one thing. That is. the platform of
that committee. which. IL they be
elected. viii insure better education
in our city for the children and "A
business administration of school af-
fairs for the taxpayers"
