Letter From Supt.
OF Education

Saturday, March 2, is the regular
date for the election Of trustees IN
commo and consolidated schools
with three trustees. The law pro
vides that the meeting shall be he'd
at the school house at 200 p. NJ.
The meeting shall be organized by
electing a chairman and secretary
and the elect by ballot n trustee
for a three yea term. The holding
over trustees are required to have q
list of the names Of those entitled to
vote for said trustee. The result
of the election shall be certified to
the county superintendent Of edu'
cation on or before the following
Saturday.
The Supreme Court has recently
issued a decision in which they de-
clare unconstitutional certain parts
of the present law with reference t.
the qualifications Of a person to serve
as trustee and to vote in the trustee
election. Under the decision, any
qualified elector who has been a res
ident of the school district for n
year prior to the election may serve
as a trustee or vote in the trustee
election.
We are suggesting to the trustees
that they have the poll books or a
certificate list from the poll books
giving the nam Of each person who
Is qualified to vote in the election
in their district
Trustees play a very important
part in our public school program
and we feel hat the people of every
school district should be very much
interested in the trustee election. They
should elect trustees who are capa-
BILE and who have a vital interest
In the schools.

talk about it at all. The idea of COL
lective security evidently came to
stay when the League Of Nations
was founded. The desire for it must
be intense in Europe today. There
fore the new order" prepares to
make room for it.
But true collective security is es-
sentially democratic concept. 1t is
not exclusive. Nor are the terms of
security imposed. To attempt to
combine it's requirement, with the re-
quirements of dictatorship is to can
eel out one or the other sets of re-
quirements. Dictatorship could not
live in the League of Nations, nor
even with it. So it withdrew and
proceeded to attack it. A League
with force back of it's might have re-
sisted successfully,
Tomorrow's equivalent of the Lea
que probably will have force to de-
fend itself against violence. But it
will be the voluntary pooled force of
free peoples. Some nations are even
now preparing to support this lea
que, but only because they really
want to.-Christian Science Monitor.
