"The District Commissioners
cut Of the school budget In the
face Of the public demand for
relief of the drastic teacher
shortage, is just another example
of the irresponsibility Of our ap-
pointed form Of government.
"No matter what fine men the
Commissioners may be. they SIM

govern.
Can anyone imagine an elec-
