SCHOOL BOARD
SEES VICTORY
Unanimous City-wide En-
dOrsement of Program
Causes Optimism.
ELECTION ON TUESDAY
Real Test of City's Interest in
School Children to Be Shown
in Special Election Tuesday.

Optimistic anticipation prevailed at
the meeting of the Board of Education
on Tuesday evening when the reports
of the progress of the campaign of
the Citizens Survey committee in plac-
ing their report before the city of Ke-
nosha, and seeking it's endorsement at
the special election to be held Tues
day, June 20, were read to the board.
AS reports were read of unanimous
endorsement of the school building
program for the next five years by
practically every organization, institu-
ton, society, club ana lodge, the mem
bers beamed with satisfaction and ex-
pressed their opinion that the people
Of Kenosha really uphold the slogan
Children First being broadcasted in
the campaign. That Kenosha will rec
ognize the dire need of the acceptance
of the recommendations of the COM
mittee was hopefully anticipated and
the school commissioners pledged their
support to the members of the gallant
survey committee in placing the prob
lem facing Kenosha's educational sys-
tenn in its true light.
The school board was enthusiastic
in its gratitude to the members of the
