DR.. MORON AT THE HELM

DR.. MORON AT THE HELM
b ALONzO &. MORON has been named Com
missioner Of Education to replace DR.. Preston. The APP
pointment was made effective October /, 1860, although
he serves as Assistant Commissioners from September is
to 80, 1860. DR.. Preston who served for over two years,
leaves to take a position on the mainland
WHILE NO ONE knew for sure that the next Com
missioner would be Or. Moron, that appointment seemed
logical enough. He not only has the educational back
ground, he has a personal, intimate acquaintance with
the education Of these Islands, having administered an
i~n-service training program through Hampton, while he
was that colleges president. IN addition to degrees from
Brown, Pittsburgh, and Harvard, DR.. Moron received a
number Of honorary degrees.
BUT THERE IS more to this than an appointment.
Time has proved that an administrator
must have an adequate opportunity to acquaint himself
with his job, and to work out and put into effect plans
for the future. Too often, as has been contended in these
columns, an official would take a responsible position in
these Islands, and before putting into effect any sound
and constructive reforms, he would be off and running.
That is never good for any place, these Islands included.
DIR. MORONS appointment should give assurance
thatshe will remain long enough in the position to for
muIate a program and carry it out to its logical conclu-
sion. While it is true that we are much farther along
than we were Two or three years dSU, y n dlSO lSGoS
nized that no field of learning can be static; that the edu-
cation 81 a community must keep step with the times
and measure to the challenges which are constantly be-
ing posed
THE SCHOOLS HAVE a duty to perform There is
more to education than going through the grades and
graduating, and this is particularly true is these Islands
where the future is SO dependent upon the products Of
our educational system. A well rounded citizen, trained
in-the v~ocatiops, the arts, or the sciences, with an out
look for a future which could mean only success for his
home is the responsibility of our school system. Simple
as It may seem, this is no small task, and the man guild
