public school a school board they can respect and adrrire. Give f-em a1
board that will deserve and command the respect of ALL competent teach

Take it from me, Bill, as a political issue on which politicians can ride
into place and power, the religious war is played out. It has run its course.
Let's bury it and get together once more as American citizens working for
our common country and our common cause. Drop a tear on its grave If!
you want to. Place a boquet on the headstone, if you please. But kiss it
good-bye, straighten up so you can look every fellow citizen squarely irib
the eye, and let's start a new deal. Let it be" "all together, for our publicr
schools." Give us a board that means just THAT. Sincerely,
N. D. COCHRAN.
