individuals working for the schools who receive no compensation and it was this School Board which took steps to stop salaries to all school Trustees. Too, since I am about to complete my three year appointive term,' as I have stated, this will be rriy last report. Because of this, I feel prompted to say certain things which might otherwise remain unmentioned. In December of 1943 this very Council requested me to serve as a Member of the Board of School Trustees, for election the follow

good school system does not grow on trees. They are laboriously built and come from public de-, mand. Schools must not be allowed to settle into well known grooves, yet, while they must be kept dynamic, "they must be conservatively administered, exactly as is being done by Superintendent Campbell. In this confused world the need for sound thinking was never greater. Such is oniy possible by trained minds and minds are only trained by cthicatirTh. The fight for the Cutuve must begin in the schools. Good schools are a weapon in the struggle for human betterment. An educated citizenship is necessary to build the new Jerusalem we all are seeking. You, teachers, enter every home through the children who are your pupils. YoU, teachers, can awaken and keep awake, . the citizenry of Sullivan to the continuing needs of our schools. Our schools are in gnpd shape, in that the most is being achieved with the facilities we have. Additional . space is badly needed at the high school and should be quickly available for band, vocal music, speech, drsmatics and art. In addition, we need the building ' program proposed by this School Board. Ycu, teachers," know these- things am true. Accordingly, you can, and you should, brat the drums that lead the charge of an awakening citizenry, in demanding and securing the few things
J our schools still need to give" our '. children the best education possij ble for Sullivan to give thfm. I In conclusion, for me, in many j ways this is the end of the trail and this is my swan song. I as- ! sure all of you that I am retiring with many sweet recollections. Sullivan is my hnmeI was born . pnd reared here. My forebears ! contributed much to early education in Sullivan. MJv children jand grandchildren live here, and for these reasons a great desire for the best obtainable for Sullivan will always . be indelibly , stamped uprri my life. Once again, permit me to say that knowing all of you, and working intimately with you, has .been a grand experience. I know you will keep the torch of the city schools burning brightly and ( may God direct and help each of . you in the discharge of this Sacred Trust.
