Wants Thomas on
State Land Board
The state superintendent of
public Instruction should be a
member of the state land board.
Rufus C. Holman. state treasurer,
told the convention of city school
superintendents held here yester
day.
"With all due respect to the
present personnel of the board
feel that there should be a school
man on the board whose particu
lar interest would be the protec
tion of the irreducible school
fund," Holman declared. This
fund is administered by the state
land board composed of the gov
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer.
Holman pointed out that be
cause of laxity on the part of pre
vious boards the state was facing
losses on bad I loans aggregating
more than $1700,000. Of this
amount, 330,Q00 is principal on
inadequately secured loans on
which the board has had to fore
close, he said.
The 8 c h o o 1 superintendents
closed their tiro-day meeting at
noon yesterday. Approximately
100 school superintendents were
in attendance.
