be criticised in days to come TOT
having risked me with such a ire

fore the people a few OF the prln-
ciples for. which my administration

ture, they are given with a good
will toward all and malice toward
none.
The principles for which I stand
as a citizen:

2. Clean morals.
8. Correct habits.
4. Altruistic dealings with all
mankind.
s.. Honesty and industry.
AS a community leader:
/. Church work.
g. Organizations, social and fra
ternal.
3. Clean athletics (not oyer-em-
phasiZed.)
d.. Honesty and industry.

As a school man:
J.. Strict discipline. administered
honestly, advisedly and intelligentiy
for the welfare of schools and not

members of the faculty and school
board for the best interest OF all.

distracting influences which tend to
destroy school work.

their Influence to execute rule 9 in
regard to dancing even in homes
unless the head of the family for
bids their entrance.
II. Principals and teachers to
be courteous t all members of
the board. in regard to suggestions
that may be made incidentally or

Now. gentle reader, | would call
your attention TO the fact that !
have not yet had time and an OPP
portunity to make a sufficient sur
vey of the situation there as to en-
able me to give you a clear-cut
statement of what l shall try to do.
In any event it shall be my deter
mination to so work, so live and so
act that when our journey together
will have been ended it can be said
of each of us as was said of Julius
Caesar, This was a man."
We feel that we have a most
splendid opportunity to serve hu-
manity. There is no doubt in the
writer's mind but that with the
love, respect and cooperation Of a
purely honest. noble and virtuous
Anglo-Saxon people we are sure to
succeed.

an age for services as at present,
In such an age of prosperity and
reimbursement there are two classes
of people. namely those who can
and those who can't. 1t should be
the determination OF every parent
to so strive for the welfare of each
and every student that all will be
sure to fall in the first class. In
the matter of cooperation for the
purpose of eliminating dancing and
other distracting influences let lis
stand as II great body, united fol
