CIVIC PRIDE In EDUCATION
The essay by Elwood Braker on Civic
Pride in Education was thoughtful and
timely on a live issue. Civic pride should
be had in ample schools houses we'll
equipped for the physical welfares and
appliances for instruction. The questions
OF political affiliations and personal pref
udices should not enter into the manage
ulclb vi SCuOOi aAuAiSs OPPOiputioiCo VI
different studies should be given to suit
the needs of different persons because it
is the province of the public school to fit
the future citizen for usefulness. The best
results are to be obtained by a cordial CO.
operation of parents, teachers and the
members OF the Board of Education.
We should have pride in our public institu-
ton as well as in our homes, because they
are as much for our children's future vel
fare as are our homes. The better the
growing generation are fitted for future
life the better will be the future state.
The theme of Rev. C. V. ID. Conover'S
address was, "The Hour of Opportunity
The opportunity is at hand. Are you
ready for it? The training must be from
efforts within. We must be self-made or
never made. If you do not see the OPP
~portunity, find a way or make one. Do
not be a misft. Study what you would
like best to be then work hard to become
a specialist in it. 1t is worth the cost.
