Thompson, Publisher FROM THE NAPANEE BEAVER Members of the Ontario Secondary School TeaChers' Federation recently graded their school boards again,'and .teachers in Lennox and Addington County decided their trustees, were poor in, three areas out of , four, and only adequate in the lough:The categories had to do with the board's..,attitude toward improving the quality of education; the board's good, relations with teachers and administrators; conditions in school; and if trie'oard adequately fulfills the educational needs of the community. Perhaps few employees ever have high praise for their employers--not even. at The , Napanee Beaver-So 'one can hardly credit the view of teachers toward their board as objective. There are employees who do respeCt their employers, but. we ,suspect this is largely in private enterprise. It doesn't seem to apply among school teachers, anyway.

By the present method we only-h•. - I - the opmion,poll doesn't hurt the boards as much a' the teachers may think.
