CARTER The success of a school system depends largely upon the attitude of the Board in providing for the adequate equipment and personnel which make better education possible. Our School Board has taken its responsibility to the community seriously and has for some time had an eye to the future requirements of Fostoria's schools. Knowing that a building of less than twelve rooms is not an economic unit, the men began some three years ago to secure additions to some of the present school prop- erties. Today the Sandusky Street School boags five and one-third acres of recently acquired playground, while the Sixth Street School has nearly four acres. Mr. Dewey St. John who has served faithfully for several years, retired from the Board near the end of last year, having moved to Toledo. Dr. J. L. Carter succeeded him as president, while the vacancy thus created has been filled by a new member, Mr. F. C. Morrison. MR. A. L. MANN MR. W. J. DAUB MR. F. C. MORRISON MR. C. A.
