WIXLJN When you consider a public school system, you naturally think of its stu- dents, its buildings, its supervisors, its teachers and its courszs of study. But how often do you think about the power behind all activities, the Board of Education? One of the most important organizations in any community is its board of school directors, composed of men and women who devote much of their time and interest to the management of public school affairs. According to the School Code, all Pennsylvania school systems are classi' fied as First, Second, Third or Fourth Class districts, according to their popu- lation. Wilson Borough, having a population of more than 5,000 and less than 30,000, is a third class district. There are seven school directors chosen by popular vote. each for a period of six years. This board meets regularly at least once a month, besides many other special meetings. Wilson Borough has been fortunate in having on its board public minded citizens who have given generously of their time and efforts for the betterment of its school system. Under the jurisdiction of the present board, the schools of Wilson have been improving every year. Perhaps its greatest accomplishment has been the building and equipping of the new high school. At the present time the schools of Wilson compare favorably with any schools in the state. Page Ifivc
