TO WHOM IT IjiAY CONCERN
Lot It hereby be known that I
have in no way contrived toward
the election for defeat any con
didate to the Palmer School Board,
Furthermore I have not sanctioned
nor condoned such action among the
School Staff. Instead I have re
primanded .such action as a breach
of professional ethics.
Various people have corns to me .
suying they had heard or been told
that it is now too late for new
candidates to enter into the race
for membership upon the Palmer
School Board. Those people were
misinformed nndwhoever gave them
the information was at fault.
Others have believed that unless
a condidate were supported in
petition by a certain number of
patrons that the candidate would
not be eligible for election.
This too is an erroneous idea.
Mr. Anthony E.Karnes, Territorial
Commissioner of Education has
wired: "Nominations may be made
in any manner but people write
names of their preference on bal
lots. Law states members elected
by plurality vote." Hence there
is still time and room for anyone
to enter the race.
Perhaps at election time the pat
rons will feel that someone who
has not announced himself as a
candidate,is better fitted to ser
ve and protect their children
•than those who are se3king elect
ion. If this be the truth, then
the patrons should write that

period, thereby losing thoir
furchase Saving Dividend for that
period."
WHO WANTS TO FLAY IN THE
BAND ?
To-.those parents w ho w'ould like
their children to play in the
School band, I extend a cordial
invit:tion to talk with no about
it. I an hoping for a group of
beginners.' particularly from
grades 7,8, and S, to ,organize
into a beginner’s band that nay
develop into a real playing or
ganization by the tine these stud
ents reach the upper school years.
In r.iost cases it will be necess
ary for each student to provide
his own instrument. Instruments
may be purchased second hand from
several compani.es at comparatively
low prices. Both new and used
instruments may be bought on time.
There is rlso r. company from which
many of my students purchased in
struments last year, that has a
policy of renting instruments at
so much q. month for 3 months, at
the end of which time the instru
ments may bo purchased, applying
the rental so far paid on the
price of the instrum ent. Of
course, if the student has decided
