Our Schools With a school election coming up shortly, it might be well to check up a little on the size of I lie job school board members have to face in our country. The following was prepared by Jack Flug, county school superintendent, and we be lieves gives some very good reasons why more peo ple should take an interest in school elections, "School districts in the United States make up more than one-half of all governmental units federal, state, county, and local. There are some 04,000 of them. They have about 350,000 school board members who have a tremendous job. They are responsible for school property $16, 000,000,000.00. Supervised spending for school operations $6, 375,000,000.00. Supervised spending for new construction $2,. 500,000,000.00. Employ 1,088,584 teachers who teach 29,000, 000 children. "Above all, they decide what shall be taught In the public schools. Constant Improvement of the American school system has always been de pendent upon the quality of the school boards and the quality of the boards is dependent upon the interest of the citizens for whom they speak. "Some communities are blessed with schools where teachers work with zest and confidence, where children are understood and helped, where the curriculum is the best that should be learned of the new and the old, and where the people have faith that the school board, superintendent, and staff are doing what should be done. Where these conditions exist, the relationship between board and superintendent is indeed a fruitful partner ship. Each gives of his ability, each gives ser vice, and there is common satisfaction In seeing children ami youth grow towards their best pos. sibllities. "On June 18, the voters in Morrow county in each district will vote for schoolboard members. We hope that you feel it will be much worth your while to vote for the school board member of your choice." Newspapers and Economic Well Being If anyone still wonders just how valuable the newspaper is as an advertising medium for re tailersin this era when other media are com peting vigorously for business he would do well to study a survey made by the Bureau of Business Research of Michigan State University. The survey deals with the effect on rteail sales of last December's newspaper strike In De troit. It shows that a gain in over-all sales In the Detroit metropolitan area during the strike period was due to buying in the suburbs. Sales in the downtown area actually declined by $35 million. Editor & Publisher says editorially: "The Michigan State analysis ... is one of the greatest testimonials for newspaper advertising that has ever been written. . . It , , , adds to the growing volume of data showing that wherever a commun ity is deprived of its newspapers all business suf fers. "... when general business conditions are good customers do not just naturally gravitate to a store. They have to be attracted by advertising, particularly newspaper advertising. People react to a sales message in newspapers. They do not react if the sales message and or the newspaper is missing. Newspapers are essential to the eco nomic well being of the business community." That goes for the smaller papers as well as the larger ones and for the villages as well as the metropolitan centers of population.
