JuHN Conner Secretary Mr. N. J. Lasher has just completed his sixth year as Superintendent of the Seymour Schools. During this time he has brought about many progressive changes in our city ' s school system. One new and very fine modern school was established and named after Emerson. The names of all the schools were changed from locations and Wards, to the names of great men who serve as ideals to the pupils of the schools. The School Board is composed of representative men of the community. These men are vitally interested in civic affairs, and in the welfare of the boys and girls of the city. This interest has been evidenced by the willingness of the Board to meet the needs of the school in proportion to the financial ability of the citv treasury. Many factors must be considered in providing for the best educational opportuni- ties that the community can afford. All sides of every new question are weighed care- fully by this able and efiicient body of men, and as a result, we have schools pro- gressive enough to be very proud of, and conservative enough to keep within the financial limits set by the city. The Board is neither miserly in holding down school costs so as to cripple efficiency, nor is it extravagant in undertaking new untried projects. We feel that this body of men deserves a vote of thanks and congratulation for keeping the schools of Seymour among the first in our state for educational ideals and modern improve- ments. The best citizen is he who has the best heart, the best character, the most charity and sympathy, and he nho uill give to another citizen the protection he asks lor himself. — President McKinley.
