It's not as if some purpose was served It costs more to hire those substitute teachers than it would have cost to settle with the present staff Somehow I think it I can help demonstrate that it is not easy to replace our present staff, then our hoard will put a little more value to them, recognize their importance to the cduca lion process, and act a little more responsibly two years from now when we go through this same process again That responsibility may well in elude discharging the poorer teachers on the staff in the manner pros tded by law rather than creating an adverse atmosphere in hopes that they will quit Many of the good ones have quit too You see. I think a good education is important I think good teachers arc essential Good teachers have a high value to me I would h«'pc to show that good teachers arc hard to replace I am not satisfied with someone who is warm and caring but without teaching skills I am not so loolish as to claim our kids cannot read, most read well enough to get into the best universities around I only seek to demonstrate that the illegal expen diturc of taxpayer funds, to pursue a misguided concept will not go unnoticed B ill F u r lo n i; William H " R U " Furlong. 72. of Bremerton, Wa d i d Monday August 14. at his home Born December 12, 1916, in Monument, he grew up in Heppner Available ami graduate from Heppner High a, 1 2 7 N .
