School Notes

Our MORO: Cooperate and assist,
don't kick and find fault.
Watch these columns for The Declar.
alton of the National Educational
Association which convened at San
Francisco last July is the greatest
criterian that we have concerning the
tendency of modern education. 1t is
the greatest educational organization
in America, and its Declaration is I'm
questionably worthy of the attention
of every man and woman in every walk
OF life. This Declaration should be
common knowledge rather than con-
fined to few active members of the
association.
Doc o.s Rothwell and Hoyt began
the medical inspection IN the school
1 ,st Monday. The inspection in the
primary room was nearly completed
While no child was found in bad con-
dition, patrons will be surprised to
know that of the number examined
only about four or FIVE we're found
without some ailment. Many Of their
ailments are not of serious nature
now but if not attended to may develop
seriously. 1t is as much a part of
sc looling and educational work to give
to the state. citizens in good health as
1t is to produce citizens with mental
development. Mental development
amounts to naught in body that is
not healthy. 1t was desire Tor better
health among school children and later
citizens that has prompted this inspec.
ton. When the inspection is complete
a card will be sent to each parent stat
ing the results of the exornenation of
their children.
