Will Develop theCon1munity Spirit

D
| Development of the community spir-
it throughout the county is one of the
big motives of Mrs. Kate Gait Zanies,
county superintendent of schools, who
is devoting much of her work at this
/ time to that end.
An outstanding feature of Mrs. Fan
les work is her constant effort TO
perfect organization throughout the
country, thus bringing about the de-
sired results. The magnitude and scope
of her activities are far in excess TO
that apparent to the casual observer
of county school work but to those
who are in eclose touch with her ac.
tlvities the ultimate success of work,
that of developing and cementing com
munity spirit, depends only on the
matter Of time.
