Rzifiner lf we should scan with any care the list of duties and obligations dele- gated to school boards we might wonder why any man or woman should voluntarily assume such! The one answer to such a question must be the challenging interest in children and in tne future of our country. A publication of the California State Department of Education stresses the importance of school boards in the following words: The school board has the future of the Nation and the Progress of all our people as its responsibility. The maintenance of the democratic aspect of public education is as mucn dependent upon the type, the intelligence, the ability of school-board members or school trustees as it is upon the quality of instruction offered to the children in the classroom. School directors and school boards in lllinois have in their charge the educational welfare of nearly l,000,000 children, the selection of 46,000 public school teachers. The school board members are usually busy people of wide interests, often the heads of families, and those who have already shown their ability to handle affairs successfully. When such persons are willing to accept, with- out remuneration, all the responsibilities that board members do, they deserve the heartiest co-operation of everyone in the community. That being so, may we, as Seniors and luniors, in Qlney Township High School say, Thank you to our own Board of Education of District No. 76 for the good things we have had from them.
