But The Star does censure very severely some former school officials, Superintend- Cooper and members of the last few boards who have gone out of office recently directly to blame for the present predicament of the Seattle school district. “They are responsible for a series of gross extravagances in building costs and busi- peas administration that have brought about the condition that forced the cut in hers’ pay. The present board is the heir of their sins. And Seattle school children their teachers must pay.
