A In a democracy the most basic principle involved is the will of the community. In Kewanee, once every year, the fathers, mothers, and all other adults go to the polls to choose their representatives to formulate the policies of KeWanee's educational system. No step in the functions of the educational organization of Kewanee could be of greater importance than the election of these represent- atives-the Board of Education. To the Board of Education is thus entrusted the confidence and sanction of the public in maintaining the general, guiding principles of school activity. These basic principles formulated by the Board are of utmost import- ance in the education of students-the future citizens of America. It is particularly fitting that students should be aware of the responsibilities of the voter in going to the polls to elect those who will represent their point of view most effectively. For Seniors, the opportunity will soon come for participating in elections which determine the general will of the community. Being directly under the influence of those with heavy responsibilities concerning their own Welfare they will be better able to understand and ap- preciate the functions of those to whom they delegate administrative powers. ' Reading About the Candidates. Off To the Polls. Mrs. F. A. Kirby. Mr. W. T. Price The Community At the Polls Through the votes of all types of people in the com- munity of Kewanee, members of the Board of Education are elected. This democratic factor does much to acquaint the students with the' respon- sibilities of being a citizen, and thus aids greatly in in- suring the basic principles of democracy. l'Il See What Mrs. Smith Th nks Mrs. Elmer Peterson ir ir 'ir ir ir 11
