In my campaign to gather votes for the Re
publican Nomination for County Treasurer, it has
been gratifying to me to find such large part of
people displaying unusual interest in this subject
of schools
Almost without exception the parents to whom
| have talked, and more especially the mothers of
Garrett County school children, feel there is a great
er need today for sound public school education
than ever before.
These parents realize that if their child is to be
prepared to successfully meet the ever increasing
competition in every line of endeavor he she must
be afforded the opportunity for public school edu-
cation that compares favorably with that provided
for children elsewhere.
believe in that value of education and will
support any movement that has as its true purpose
the betterment of our school program.
