But less obvious and perhaps more important was the leadership provided by the Committee in less specific ways, a type of eontrihution underlined by the two Chapel services offered by committee mem- hers. They operated, however, not by preeept alone, but for the most part by example as well, in handling various problems relating' to the tone and morale ol' the Sehool. They have handed over the city not only not less, but greater than it was handed to them: they have strengthened foundationsg on them future eommittees ean build yet higher. school awards Cranford, Paterson, Wesley.

For this reason the high standard of service attained generally' by eommittee members over the years is the more remarkableg they must earry out responsi- bilities which they have n-ot asked tor, and justify a eontidenee and trust re- vealed to them all too suddenly. It would appear that the satisfaction to be gained by being a member ot the Sehool Committee must depend very little on outward marks ot status and prestige, which are negligible, and very mueh on the member 's private knowledge Ot the extent to whieh he has been sueeesstul in subordinating lesser personal inclinations to greater community issues, there- by meeting mantully the ehallenge ot ohfiee.
