Rotation More Democratic
AN EDITORIAL
Tie CAROLINIAN does not subscribe to the thought of
the indispensable man in a city of 73.000 as apparently many
of our city fathers do in mulling over the appointment of re
placements for two school board members.
We believe: then is no doubt in the mind* of the people of
Raleigh us to the worth, ability and contribution of Mm. H.
D. Prcssly and Attorney F. j. Carnage Mrs. Pressly it an
astute and gracious lady. Mr. Carnage is a known civic, po
litical and fraternal personality of wide scope and recognition
Both these board members ore capable and many orchids ca
be bestowed upon them However, the point of this editor
is to suggest to the Council and PTA Council the need
rotation. The CAROLINIAN believes a city stifles itself w
it only uses the capacity of a few of its citizens, year in ;
year out, believing they cannot be replaced by other citiz.
of equal worth and ability.
Stagnation easily sets in on a system of retention without
regard for others with equal ability. Continued appointment o!
rie same people is like a cartel or monopoly. Why shouldn't
he monopoly be good when it allows no one to compete w :
:f ■ Why shouldn’t a board member be outstanding after
'■ cars, in fact after twenty years, no matter who the person haj
pens to be? I stands to reason that doing anwthing over aa
over one should get better.
