ARMS linildmxs and Grounds ERED WOLFF In 1890, the first Board of Education of West Orange, consisting of eight elected members, was provided for. Later the mem- bership was increased to twelve, but it was permanently reduced in 1913 to five members who are appointed by the mayor. The Board of Education has been singularly free from politics; and as a result, member- ship on it has appealed to many prominent business and professional men. Among the more distinguished who have served at some time since 1917 are Mrs. Harlan, Farnham Yardley, T. H. Powers Farr, and Coloncr Her- bert Barry. Colonel Barry, a prominent New York lawyer, appointed in 1919, is still active as president and has the longest record for continuous service of any member. Jesse Col- linson, Fred Wolff, and Samuel D. Arms, busi- ness men and members of the Board, all take an active interest in civic affairs, as docs Mrs. Cora Guinn, who is the third of the three women who have been on the Board since 1917. As a result of the Board’s progressive poli- cies and insistence on high standards, th? school system of West Orange has kept pace with modern educational developments and is the equal of any system in the metropolitan district.
