The Howard Democrat last week
printed the following item which we
believe is good advice to the patrons of
Brookings schools: Every member of a
community and especially every parent
should take a deep interest in the pub
lie school. 1t is not enough to pay
your school tax without complaining,
or to know that the teachers are quail
fed, nor is it even enough to keep your
children in school regularly and per-
sistently. Few people have any idea
what an incentive it is both to teacher
and scholar to know that outsiders are
taking a lively interest in their work.
We believe the little folks at school
appreciate such interest more perhaps,
han the larger ones Still the effect is
not lost on any of them, and we hope
every parent will take a hint from
this and place the public school OF
their visiting list.
