mendation Of any applicant for
membership in the board, unless the
person named is fully qualified to
fulfill all the requirements and carry
out the responsibilities vested in
them by the act recently passed by

therefore, IL none other than
capable and representative citizens
are elected to serve on this board,
we are assured that our schools and
our children's education will be well
taken care Of, and that Delaware
will soon rank among the states
leading in education.
"As chairman of the committee
appointed by the Kiwanis Club to
confer with other organizations of
our city with a view Of forming a
citizens committee to take up this
important work, I appeal to you for
your full cooperation and support
in the formation of an organization
that will work together as a unit,
in order that our schools shall be
safeguarded from corruption. and
that the fundamental teaching OF
education may be advanced in our
city"
To study Candidates Records.
| A brief recess next was taken, in
which various delegations made up
their lists of formal representatives.
Names of the organizations partici-
pating were then read. Charles War
ner suggested that. in view Of the
nearness Of the school election. an
Executive Committee would be ad-
visable. This Executive Committee,
ne said. could investigate records OF
! candidates for the new School Board
and report to the General Commit
tee. He further suggested that the
| Executive Committee could appoint
a subcommittee on nominations,
which should study candidates and
! report on them, irrespective OF
their political afhliations" II c
| thought the new board should have
an attorney. also two women, in its
membership.
1T is has been charged" Mr.. War
ner said. that this new board would
be made up largely of representa-
tives of one section OF our city. To
disprove this the committee should
strive to see that every section Of the
city is represented in the candidates
which they recommend"
