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 LOCAL MENTION.
