The Call for Women on the School Board

School election is almost here, and people are beginning to wonder who our new directors are to be. Two of our present board were appointed and the third has served three years so there will be an entire new board to choose. As a general thing people take little interest in school elections, and only a few vote. The others prefer to save their energies to kick about the board after election. We would like to see everyone take a little interest in the community welfare, and coming out to vote for school director is about as little as they can do. It has been the custom to have the board made up entirely of men. We believe that there should be at least one woman on the board. There is no work for the directors that can’t be done as well by a woman as by a man and there is much that they can do better. A woman will notice things that a man would never see at all. A woman can give more time to the teachers than a man, and often the teacher will come to a woman director with things that they would not want to speak to a man about at all. We think by all means that there should be at least one woman on the new board and we wish tax payers would all turn out and elect one.
