G BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Administration of our public school system in School District Num- ber One, Cascade County, Montana, is under the control of a Board of Trus- tees, and they are the instruments which the American people have devised for the realization of their ideals and programs. The members of the Board of Trustees are elected by the people for a term of three years each, and they are responsible to the people for securing the services of the highest type of superintendent, teachers, and other em- ployees, and are also charged with the responsibility to keep inviolate public school funds for the purpose of providing the educational opportunities to which the children are the rightful heirs. The Board of Trustees is composed of the following members: Mr. I. W. Church, chairman, elected 1931; Mr. Howard H. Stanley, vice-chairman, elected 1935; Mr. G. A. Hansen, elected 1936; Dr. J. C. MacGregor, elected 1936; Mr. Fred Traber, elected 1926; Mr. A. E. Wiggin, elected 1926; Mr. D. O. Wentworth, elected 1926-1935, and 1938; Mr. V. F. Gibson, clerk and business manager; Mr. I. W. Smith, superintendent of schools. It may also be of interest to know that Mr. I. W. Church, Mr. Fred Traber, Mr. A. E. Wiggin, Mr. D. O. Wentworth, members of the present Board were also members of your Board of Trustees during the construction of our present high school building. Boards of Trustees, an old American institution, is democracy ' s way of conducting democratic school systems. What finer way is there to serve youth and one ' s community? VICTOR F. GIBSON. [ n ]

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS DEMOCRACY IN SCHOOL LIFE Democracy is always a slow achievement. As a way of living it is the hard way. Even after it has been attained, it is easily lost. That has been the record of history. But perhaps just because it is slow and hard and easily lost, it is thereby the more precious and the more worth striving to have and to hold. The student association of the Great Falls high school is at present fur- nishing a good example of the way in which young people learn to prepare themselves for full participation in adult affairs. It is showing the way to de- sirable and effective sharing of responsibilities in the management of school li fe in our high school. The participants in this experiment have . the opportunity to learn from the mistakes that have been made in the name of democracy in the past his- tory of nations. Noisy minorities, misguidance, propaganda, and destructive tactics are pitfalls into which many an earlier attempt has been plunged. One of the menaces to the operation of genuine democracy is that, while democracy can thrive only in a cooperative atmosphere, it is also peculiarly susceptible to influences that drive people apart. It is always easier to tear down than to build up. Consequently, while you are experimenting in the management of your high school life, keep in mind the desirability of avoiding others ' mistakes and the absolute necessity of concentrating on slow, careful, constructive progress. If all this sounds trite and repetitious, try to remember that even if it has been said before, it will bear repeating. Sincerely, [18] I. W. SMITH.
