SCHOOL ELECTION HERE
SATURDAY, MARCH 2no

One school director will be chosen
at the election to be held Oh sstur
day, March 2, Charles Chappell is
the incumbent whose term of office
expires, and he has filed for reelec-
ton.
To a very large extent the success
, of our public schools depends upon
the wise selection of school direct ors.
With a good board of directors work
ing harmoniously in the interests of
the schools, almost any obstacle can
be overcome, and a fair measure
success attained
And what are the qualifications for
a good school directors
Common sense, honesty, patience,
and willingness to make some per-
sonal sacrifice of time and thought in
the interests of public welfare. Any
person possessing these simple vr-
tues, and who accepts his election anc
performs his duties without hope of
public applause Or thought of earthly
reward, viii make a good school dir
ector. His compensation will be found
in the sense of faithful performance
OF an Important duty to the commun-
ity. the state and the nation.
1t is fitting at this time to say
that, with very few exceptions, the
men and women who have served as
school directors in the districts of
this county during any portion of the
past five years have been people we'll
qualified for their positions and have
served their districts faithfully and
we'll, says County Superintendent c..
A. Hawley. Their cooperation with
the county office, with the budget
reviewing committee, and with the
state department has been everything
to be desired
The public generally may not real
ize it, but they owe these conscien-
tious and faithful public servants a
great debt Of gratitude.
