First and foremost, 1 larry said he bel ieves t hat one of t he school system’s biggest problems is a lack of motivation. “The education system... is lacking in motivation, on the part of the students and the teachers,” said Harry. “It’s like a big sys tem of burned out teachers.” Contrary to what many people may believe, Harry doesn’t think that the problems with the school system can be solved with more money. “It’s not money we need, it’s someone to go in and fix it,” Harry said. “Public education does work, we just have to fine tune it on a daily basis.” Harry said he isn’t entering the race tor public office to just spend a lot of money in an effort to make the system better — he wants to go back to the basics.

He said the whole county has to See related story on candidate Leland Strother, page 5A join together in support of the system if it is to work. Harry said that is the very thing he has to offer - - dedication. “I am dedicated to the stu dent,” he said. “I want to see each student get the best educa tion, not that money can buy, but that the system can provide. My motto is, where there’s a will, there’s a way.” (See HARRY, page SAj
