serve their true purpose; general public
education is neglected; school teachers
should be better educated and receive
more pay; old-maid teachers Shouts not
get old maidish, neither should men;
the school should expect from the home
Q child of clean physique with we'll
cared-for teeth. a body we'll washed,
twelve hours sleep
He declared in favor Of sex education
for purity of thought and action, and
for healthy. exercise In schools as
matter of a wider use of schools, DR..

as social centers and for public meet
ings.
