r Board of Education The Board of Education is made up of men who take an interest in the school and who know something of its work and its needs. They are men who. in filling these offices are compelled to give no little amount of time and work to the public. They have acquainted themselves with conditions in the various rooms and buildings and having done so, they have the courage to act on their own information. This is a school board that is blessed with harmony among its members and in its decisions, and is one in which keen insight and good sound business sense are prominent factors. Whatever of growth and advancement the Beloit schools have made, these have been made possible only because the Board of Education has always stood for advancement and has ever been ready to assist in carrying out any plans that would tend toward the general betterment of our schools.
