the reviewing stand for the next

reviewing stand where $50 wo-

Mr.. Ward has pledged him

give him the largest vote of any

with him for a place on the

"A vote for anyone but Lee

declared Dr. Foley. MY record
is open to public scrutiny. It is
significant that none of my OPP
ponents has found anything in
it to criticize.
Il do not believe that the
mothers and fathers of Boston
are going to gamble with the
education of their children. 1
believe they will elect to their
School Committee a man who
has had experience in meeting
school department problems
and man who has proven his
ability to discharge the import
ant duties and solemn obliga-
tions of a School Committee
member. On that basis is DR..
Patrick j. Foley seeking cleo
ton to the School Committee"
Dr.. Patrick ]. Foley has twice
been appointed to the School
Committee by school and city
officials. He was selected to fill
she vacancy created by the
death of DR.. Charles E. Mackey
and again he was appointed
early in 1888 to round out the
unexpired term OF Maurice j.
Tobin, following the latter's
election as Mayor.
Supporters of DR.. Foley term
in significant that on two diff
ferent occasions two separate
groups of public officials. Look
ing for the best available per-
son to appoint to the School
Committee, selected Foley. That
is the best proof that can be Of
fered of DR.. Foley's qualifica-
lions for the post he is now
seeking, they declare.
They cite DR.. Foley's excellent
educational background, DR..
Foley was born in South Boston.
He attended South Boston High
School, Georgetown University,
the University Of Maryland,
where he received the degree Of
doctor of dental surgery, and
Boston University, where he
studied accounting and business
administration.
DR.. Foley also has taken a
number Of courses in public
health and has done a great
deal of clinical work with chill
dren. He is a member Of the

Gil of the State.
