THE BOARD OF EDUCATION left »o right: Poul P. Worden, Chester Blue, William Collins, J. Paul Murphy, H. K. Defendarfer, president; Virgil Rohr-bough, secretary. The Board of Education of Taylor County is composed of five members, elected by a vote of the people for a term of six years on a non-partisan ballot. These members are Harold K. Defendarfer, president; J. Paul Murphy, vice president; and Chester Blue, William Collins, and Paul P. Warden. Mr. Virgil Rohrbough, in his capacity as county superintendent, is secretary. The Board determines all policies of education in the county. They appoint a superintendent as their administrative officer. The Board meets every third Thursday. The only exceptions are: a meeting on the first Monday in May, at which the teachers are hired; the first Tuesday in August, held to lay the levy. The Board is limited to eighteen meetings. The salary of a Board member is ten dollars per meeting. This is small for the amount of valuable service each member renders and the amount of work and time the office requires. 9
