The School Board member plays an important part in American edu- cation. During the colonial period every citizen took direct part in school affairs. As towns became larger, more business of the town meeting was intrusted to officials known as selected men, one of whose duties was to provide proper schools. Later special school com- mittees were created and with that the school board proper came into existence. Although school boards vary in size, in form of organization, and in authority, they reflect the adherence of the American people to one im- portant principle, namely, that the control of the public school must be separated from that of other gov- ernmental agencies. Through this separation the people have sought protection for their schools against the changing fortunes of partisan politics. In the School District of Maple- wood and Richmond Heights there are six non-partisan board members all of whom are elected at large for a period of three years, two of the six each April. This board is not merely a collection of individuals, it is a unit. Each member contrib- utes his ideas and as the delibera- tion proceeds modifies his opinion in the light of those expressed by others. Thus, at the close of the deliberation every member is likely to hold an opinion that differs materially from that held by any member when the discussion began. By its vote the school board gives expression to a group decision. It is a collective act representing the group as a Whole. ADMINISTRATION C. C. J ONES President J. A. STERLING Vice President M. A.
