S. Scorr JoHN V. LONGSHORE E. WENK, D. D. S. Mas. J. D. HARRIS y Behind every worthwhile institution there must be an individual or group rhespon- 1 sible for its management. A board of directors fills this place in our public schools. These directors must have executive ability in order to administer wisely the funds provided by state and borough for the maintenance of the schools. They must have Q good judgment and vision to select a competent corps of teachers from the long list ' of applicants. Business sense is essential because it is their duty to build, equip, and L maintain school property. I, li The seven members of our Board of Education are chosen from the business and professional leaders of the community. Few people realize, when casting their votes p for these men, that duties are being imposed that will require time and eiiort. These duties they perform efficiently without monetary reward. Not only routine business I receives their attention, but they are always alert to discover new and better school i facilities. It is their constant aim to maintain a high standard in our schools that the i graduates may not only rank creditably among college students, but that they may be L prepared for lives of greater usefulness in the community. . A ln appreciation of their interest in us and their untiring efforts in our behalf, the 1, '1'v senior class of 1931 dedicates this page of the HURRI-KANE to the Board of Education. -S. A. D. '31. .

This program was put into effect in 1926 in the high Q . school building when a new boiler-house, equipped with a complete up-to-date bat- ' tery of boilers, was installed. Each of the other buildings fwith the exception of l 5 Centralj was in turn equipped with similar modern heating systems, so that the citi- ,F y zens of Kane now have every reason to take great pride in the heating systems of the it Wi various school buildings. E Ever watchful of the comfort and safety of the school pupils, the Board of Edu- A cation has taken every precaution to secure protection in case of fire and panic. All the buildings have fire escapes so that, with the installation during the year of the i ' 1 modern panic bolts, the protective program seems well-nigh completed. As so fre- E I N quently happens in the event of fire or panics, injury and often death result from the 0 inability to open outside doors. With the new panic bolts now in place on the Kane , school buildings, this is next to impossible, as pressure against the bolts forces the f 3 doors open without the necessity of touching a latch. YVhere there are double doors, : both are forced open in this way. g 1 Other activities in connection with the buildings included a marked improve- i ment in the sanitary conditions, the complete alteration of the high school science 1 X laboratory, as well as the addition of modern scientific apparatus. The West Side I 5 r building was rejuvenated by a coat of paint outside and some much needed wall paper ly W inside. The interior of Central building was brightened by the refinishing of both ,N . I walls and woodwork. The completion of the West Side play-room added to the use- ' fulness of that building. The appearance of the property was generally enhanced wi ,, by the grading of the grounds. The substitute Teachers' lnstitute, held in Kane this , if year instead of Smethport, proved itself a most satisfactory innovation, being more Q if beneficial to the teachers and, at the same time, less costly to the district. ll Li The Kane School District contributes its share to the employment situation of 5' il the community. The district employs seventy persons at an average monthly salary 1 . of about 312000, with a total monthly payroll amounting to 38,518.51 35102229.33 1 is paid in wages and salaries each year. ln addition, most of the approximate sum , of 3S1.0,000.00, which is expended for building and ground repair work each year, is . 5 spent in the borough of Kane. To use the words of an efficiency expert, The school my plant has operated smoothly and efiiciently during the year 1930, turning out a pro- 'E Q duct which justifies continued operation. If the members of the graduating class .5 -I will consent- to being termed products,', it -might be interesting to note the cost of this production. The cost for each member is about 366.00 a year or a total of f gl 3792.00 per member for the entire twelve years of school life, furnished by Kane's ti school system. This sum multiplied by the average number of graduates each year N3 I brings the total education cost of the average graduating class, as a whole, to about A N 1' 363,360.00 t The bulk of this expense, year after year, is borne by the taxpayers of Kane ' and is expended under. the direction of the local board of directors. The constant 1 if efforts of these individuals to get the most in value for the money expended, entails fy 1 an outlay of 'energy and careful direction well worthy of so great a project. This 3 it fact, however, is too often not appreciated by those unfamiliar with the inside work- l E' ings of a modern public school system. With the little red school house-a memory, 1 ti and the passing of the old slip-shod methods of school operation, more efficient legis- 4 lative regulation and direction are being required. It is to be hoped that with the yi QQ steadily improving facilities for education, the foundations will be laid for an even fgzffi tx higher type of citizenship. ,422 H. G.
