The splendid reputation which the Independ- ence Schools enjoy has been achieved by the governing policies of a sincere and alert Board of Education. There is never the slightest disinclina- tion to give any amount of time and ener- gy necessary to the welfare of the school system. The Board has struck a fine balance between the things it should do and the things it should leave to its ad- ministrative officers. Broad principles of guiding policy are agreed upon by the Board and the technical details of execut- ing these policies left to the administra- tion and its assistants.
