ORANGE AND The Board of Education A most important part of our school system, yet one to which little attention is paid or credit given, is the school board. They are to the educational system of Independence the same thing that Congress is to the United States. Not strictly a judicial body, not entirely legislative in their efforts, yet adminstrative of what they deem necessary for our school life, they give freely of their time and efforts to retain Independence's reputation of having one of the best school systems in the state. The running of an educational system is a very important and expensive task. This operation takes a great deal of money and time, and much thought must be given as to how the income can be divided so as to do the most good and cover the most ground. This the school board has done very efficiently, making a reduced budget do the same work that a large allowance had formerly done. Being only six in number, the school board has considerable overlapping in committees, one member being responsible for many different things. In spite of this, none of the duties of the board is slighted. There are four of these committeesg buildings and ground, finance, teachers, and library. Each committee has an important job to do to keep a well rounded system and one that will give the students the greatest opportunities. In some in- stances, one member has an important job to do in several differ- ent committees. The members of the board of education at the present time are: W. O. Gray, president, O. L. O'Brien, vice-president, Mrs. J. B. Blades, S. E. McDaniel, Edwin Potts, and C. E. Stewart. They are responsible for an efficient, smooth running, and economical organization that has been and still is a credit to the people of Independence. The members of the board are elected for a term of four years, three being elected every two years. In addition to the reg- ular members are two ex-officio members of the board of educa- tion, superintendent J.H. Clement and Florence Harper, secretary- clerk. This group of men and women is indeed a most important one in our community, one to which a great deal of credit is due. To them we express our appreciation of an enjoyable twelve years of school life. , 7 Page 21
