SCHOOL BOARD It is no easy task to Ik a member of a city school board. One who is a member of such a board should Ik a representative citizen as well as a splendid business man. He is constantly managing the business affairs of others and at all times is subject to their criticism. He feel that he must manage the affairs of the public with the same business ability that he manages bis own. lie has learned never to expect thanks for his efforts. He must be liberal and broad minded. He cannot afford to listen to the petty whims and complaints with which he is constantly annoyed. The longer a man remains upon a school board, he is either a much “bigger” man or he is a much smaller one. The school board stands between the teacher and the public for which the teacher is working. If “things” go all right the teacher takes the credit, but if “things” go all wrong then the school board is expected to shoulder the blame, and as a rule it is done without a protest. The school district is an important corporation and insists on school boards appreciating their responsibilities and honors. Lapeer School District is especially fortunate in the personnel of its school board. Most of the members have lived in Lapeer City nearly all of their lives and are well known to every taxpayer and citizen in the community. They are recognized as exemplary American citizens and as good business men. Mr. E. T. White, Mr. Kirk White, Mr. Arthur Holland and Mr. Elgin Turnbull were born in our city and have always been associated with the business life of our city. Within the past ten years, our Mayor. Mr. Fee Larry, and Mr. E. L. Faddison have become successful business men of Lapeer. Dr. W. .1. Kay is superintendent of the Michigan Home and Training School. Surely our school is safe in the hands of these men. PAGE 5 tr-
