Good schools are the product of school board vision and action, the faithful service of prepared teachers, and the understanding and support of parents and the total community. In the test of administrative vision and action, of the quality of instruction and of community support, Unit District 140 has a su- perior rating. It is a pleasure to extend congratulations to Eureka, Conger- ville, Goodfield schools. Sincerely, I-I. L. Dyar. '
