Behold a new and brighter trail, O friends A way alight with courage, youth, and hope, A trail into the future of our land, Where Indians and whites go hand in hand To make our country great and glorified. So do we cherish yet the best our fathers knew, Their arts, their dignity, their valor, and their song And offer our last gift, O Native Land, A final tribute, the young folk of our schools. -by a Haskell Indian, name unknown.

The Board of Education I' During these last few years our Board of Education has been faced with the difficult problem of conducting the schools on a greatly reduced income. This last year the problem has been particularly acute. It is comparatively simple to do big things when there is lots of money to spend, but those who do big things with very little money are the ones who really deserve praise. The Board has met this difficulty with the same competent guidance which has been shown in the past and which has brought the school up to its present position. Our schools have maintained their high standards even though they have more children and less money than ever before. This has been possible only by the use of extreme economy and wise judgment, and the cooperation of the entire personnel. This is one of the hardest problems a Board of Education has to face-and it is a thankless one too-because few people realize the full meaning of such a situation. The Board has availed themselves of every opportunity to carry on the school efficiently. Because of the labor furnished by the F. E. R. A. the school building and furniture are in excellent condition and the grounds are being improved. The Board is hoping for the dawn of a new era when the laws will be such as to provide adequate incomes for public systems. ln the mean time they strive to do their best under the present situation and they have been doing a splendid job. So, to our Board of Education, we offer congratulations for another successful school year, and we express to them our confidence in the future of our schools under their skillful direction.
