Mr. Welborn The present trustee, Mr. Welborn, together with the advisory board, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Foust, Mr. Curtis and their immediate predecessors have engineered changes in the properties, faculty, and curricula of the school, that has brought a most commendable rating from the state department of education. As a result of their efforts, the Frankton school now operates on a continuous commission instead of a yearly commission as formerly. This is not a mere happen-so improvement. It was planned in the follow-i ing Way. The building was painted, efficient commercial facilities were added, equipment in the domestic science department was doubled, shop equipment was doubled, supplementary reading material was increased in the elementary grades, and last but not least, first grade licenses were de- manded of teachers and permits eliminated. These men have realized that Ustinginess in education was poor econ- omy and have striven to get the most real value from the tax payer's dollar. Last year they added a new heating unit and toilet facilities to the gymnasium and added vocational agriculture to the curriculum. Voca- tional home economics had already been added. Next year they hope to plaster the gymnasium and knock out the ramp that leads into it. We appreciate their work. Mr. Foust Mr. Meyer Mr. Curtis six
