But it is also A really good thing to have intelligent worlxingmen and business men who are bound to bring to a consideration of its af fairs that vigour and practical thought which is so characteristic of them. The workingmen. especially, are encour- aged to aspire to office on the board of education, because they are toler- ably free of engnlgements (such (.8 consume the time of the prolessimml and business men), and are so in a position to serve the people well. We can recall many wnrkingmen who, in the past, made good trustees, the best that were going. who showed by their work that they were equal to every responsibility that was com mitt-e.l to them. There never was a lime when the workingmeifs in- terests were more conspicuous in education.
