The Pulse of Uur Schools Regulating and financing the affairs of a school system is a difficult and complicated task, especially when the city is as large as Clairton. Therefore, the members of the Clairton School Board must work diligently to provide Clairton students with the best of educational facilities. A person must be genuinely interested in his city and its public schools 'to volunteer giving generously of his time and efforts in order that the students, teachers, and the city as a Whole may benefit. Any problem that may arise before the teachers, pupils, or em- ployees immediately becomes a problem con- fronting the directors. The members of the Board are elected by the people of Clairton and they represent the businesses, industries, and professions of the city. Mr. Leonard C. Lehman, president, is a chemist at Clairton Works, U. S. Steel Corporation. Mr. Charles R. Cunningham, the vice-president, and Michael P. Vickers, one W -,M . of the members, Work at the Irvin Works. The efficient secretary, Mrs. Sadie Keffer, is a business woman. Mr. George Zdrale, trea- surer, is the City Health Officer. The other two members are Mr. Albert Billy, a repre- sentative from the local transportation con- cern, and Doctor Joseph W. Wrobleski, a dentist. The election of representatives with such varied interests indicates two good things about Clairton and its schools: first, that a broad range of citizens must be interested, and second, that the same broad range of citizens Will have spokesmen toivoice their varied opinions. We must give credit to the conscientious Work of the School Board Whose results are made evident in comparisons made of the Clairton Schools with others in the State. Clairton certainlv measures up to other schools and with the help of these efficient directors steadily marches ahead.
