BOARD OF EDUCATION MR. A. A. PITT, President Park Ridge ttMaineethe foundation of American integrity. HI believe, says Mr. Pitt, ttthat the best thing for Maine is character build- ing through the cooperation and co- ordination of parents, teachers and pupils? THE REV. MR. WALTER D. SPANGLER, Park Ridge ttMaine-A Place of Preparation for the Work of Life? What I would most like to see at Maine? says Mr. Spangler, is a real forward step toward the Ideal of High School Education given us by the Maine Township High School Survey Commis- sion. At present, I think that Maine may well be proud of the good natured spirit manifest in the student body and the enthusiasm shown at all athletic and other events. MR. EMIL W. BERGMAN, Maine Township HD0 nothing unworthy and be a 10070 American at all timesf, ttI like Mainels school spirit and dis- ciplinef says Mr. Bergman, both in athletics and studies. It is my wish that if financially possible, all departments, both new and old, be equipped so thoroughly, and with such modern equipment that our school will rank sec- ond to none in the state. MR. THEODORE W. MARKWORTH, Des Plaines tiMm'ne, Maine, Gain, Reign! uMaine is destined to become one of the most efficient schools in Illinois, says Mr. Markworth. It has only to follow the course laid out for it by men who have made the study of education their life occupation, and it will not fail to reach the desired goal. Our football team is already the Red Grange 0f the Conference. Our graduates have no trouble in making their presence known in most gratifying scholarly ways at the colleges. Without the unnecessary tinter- ferencel which the school is subjected to at its present location-caused by inadequate buildings, a condition which will be overcome when Maine moves into its new homeeit cannot help but become a school of national reputation? DR. A. M. PURVES, Des Plaines ttGive Maine room and watch her grow? ttOne 0f the most commendable fea- tures at Maine at the present time is the loyal support of the students to their teachers and to each other? says the doctor, and adds, uThe students do not want to be divided between two schools. The best educators in the state have advised one large school. Therefore I heartily endorse the plan for a Central High School. Nine
