School Election
Next Monday
Xext Monday, June 17. Frineville
will elect a school director to suc
ceed Mrs. R. E. Gray and a clerk to
succeed Mr. Elliot. Heretofore too
little attention has been given to
this matter by the public generally.
It has been left to a few persons to
carry on the work of the district
and look after the schools. Year
after year these duties are per
formed in a perfunctionary way that
does not speak very well of our
interest in school matters. As a
wide-awake community and one
with the reputation Prineviile has at
stake for good schools, be on hand
Monday to share your responsibility
in keeping up the work.
State Superintendent Alderman
in an open letter to the patrons of
schools in Oregon, calls upon them
to make it a red-letter day for each
district. He says:
"We do not attach sufficient im
portance to our annual school meet
ing. This year our annual meeting
occurs June 17. On this day one
director and the clerk are to be
elected in every school district in
Uregon, a matter ot much impor
tance to each community. 1 should
be very glad, indeed, to find that
many of the Oregon school districts
were making the day of the annual
school meeting an important oc
casion, and at the same time taking
advantage of being together to talk
over the problems of the schools.
The voting for director and clerk
will take place at the schoolhouse.
It should be remembered thati
women already have the privilege '
of suffrage in school elections. If I
all the women of the community j
will pack their lunch baskets and as
semble at the schoolhouse on the
morning of June 17, I am confident
that the men will be there also when
