State Board of Education The impact of education goes much farther than the school itself, and influencing the type of education which is available are the Board of Edu- cation and the Governor. Upon these people falls the responsibility of deciding the policies of to- day which will benefit the students most tomor- row. Their decisions will be magnified and com- pounded in the lives of each student who gradu- ates from an Institution over which they have influence. The weight of their decisions can never be measured precisely, but they will always be remembered. Governor Robert E. Smylie, Governor of ihe Slate of Idaho 16
