public board or council, of course.
We dp not suggest that the teachers
would , take advantage of a co-operative
effort nor do we 'fear that the board
would fail to exercise its authority by
having the final say. - .,
We do warn, however, that when there
is a third party involved, -in this case the
taxpayer, the buddy -buddy system must
'be Wcarefully balanced with- thoughtful,
conscientious and leve&headed
representatives on both sides to ensure the
