The Board of Education DR. S. B. LESLIE President HE exceptional excellence of, and the nation-wide prominence ac- corded to OklllUlg98,S school system is, in a large measure, due to the unusual personnel of its Board of Education. These splendid men, realizing that the chief business of any city is the education of its children, have been untiring in their efforts to give Okmulgee a school system equal to that afforded any city in the nation. When we consider the time which they have spent, year after year, without financial remun- eration, it is not to be wondered at that the school system which they have produced stands out for its efficiency, moderness, and excellency. Dr. Leslie has served in the capacity of President of the Board for more than sixteen years and has, along with several other members of the Board, seen our schools grow from the capacity of village schools to their present magnificent proportions. Okmulgee is, indeed, fortunate in having such men as Dr. Leslie, Dr. VV. M. Cott, D. W. Grier, John M. Robe and Henry BaldwIn to look after the welfare of its institutions of learning, and while it continues to secure men of such type its schools can not but Stand high in the educational World.
