SGIEIIHINDGDMQ TIEJGDAIIRJIDS 1n the early history of our country, as you will recall, all im- portant decisions were made at the town meetings where the entire community met and decided by forum what decisions should he made. In other words, the schools were conducted by popular acclamation. But as the years went by and our lives and govern- ment became more and more complicated, we had what is known as delegated powers. Some of these powers are political, some are civil, and some are educational. The school board was elected by the public to serve as an inter- mediate between the public and the school itself. They serve with- out pay. They must be public-spirited members. They must have the best interests of the community at heart and must be solid business men. Meetings are held the First Tuesday of every month with special meetings if necessary. Page ra n
