These board members select super- intendents and assistants, who assign positions in the school system. Other duties include making decisions to buy property, to erect new buildings or to renovate old ones, to re-district the city in order to avoid overcrowding certain schools, and to submit levies to the vote of the citizens to insure pro- -7- vision of necessary funds. Extensive repairing and renovating of Cen- tral, carried on during the past two years, are examples of the arrangements made to keep our city schools in satisfactory operating condition. Education today is big business. The young peopQe of Oklahoma are grateful to these civic-minded persons, who are devoting their time and energy to improve our school system.
