C. H. S. THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AJ., 561:-1. O the Board of Education is due a large amount of credit which they N- :W sr never receive. The sooner the citizens of Canton wake up to this fact :' ,, the better informed they will be. The Board is made up of a number lain of our most public spirited citizens, inasmuch as, contrary to the gen- ,lg il. N r eral opinion, the only remuneration they receive is criticism, the cheap- "fG."d est of all cheap talk. The progress made by the Board is readily seen when one remem- bers the changes which have taken place in the last few years throughout the entire public school system of Canton. A brief review of the most important undertakings which have been recently completed, under the able direction of the present and several of the former Boards, will give the reader some idea of what they have ac- complished: Building of the John Dean School, 1911. Building of the Ingersoll School, 1911. Building of the Anderson School, 1913. Remodeling of the VVright School, 1915. Remodeling of the Hulit School, 1917. Building of the Central Grammar School, 1916-1917. Reorganization of the High School, 1917. D The Board has shown its willingness to hear both sides of any question that arises and render justice. Mr. B. H. Taylor, the President of the Board, is a man who has not forgotten what it is to be a boy and consequently heartily supports school activities. . Mr. C. B. Coleman is one of those rare persons who, when work is to be done, bosses the job in his working clothes instead of watching it in a silk hat. Mrs. M. L. Entwistle, Mr. S. A. Drake, and Mr. F. M. Mosher, the other mem- bers, are conscientious workers who deserve the highest commendation possible. I l l l xl I . - , 1 U l I 7 l l A 1, 1-x- ' 1 0-7 --1, . . Q-,.Q,'g V . file?
