Improvement association, spent the
greater part Of the past week visiting
the schools Of Lancaster county and II
was our pleasure to hear her encour-
aging talk to representative body Of
teachers at the Central graded school,
Saturday morning. About twenty-five
teachers and several trustees also were
present to hear Miss Hite and all were
much encouraged at the splendid
showing this county has made, for she
declared that we had more active
school improvement associations than
any county she had so far visited. She
said It was the aim Of the organiza-
ton to have It represent the interest
Of the community In school affairs and
that there must be definite aim In
view for any organization to succeed.
Miss Hite emphasized the two sides OF
school improvement work, the social
side and the money side. She said
that a good way to get people out to
the meeting was to feed them, In this
connection taking occasion to mention
the fact that on her recent visit to Os-
ceola, the teachers served chocolate
and crackers and q representative
crowd gathered there for the organi-
zation. The work of school improve
ment, said Miss Hite, depends upon
getting the patrons to the school, for
II they gather there. they will see the
actual physical needs Of the school
She stressed the fact that the school
house should be made the social CEN
ter Of the community. the gathering
place Of the people whose children at
tend the school. In making the school
building attractive she suggested good
pictures and window boxes. She fur
ther urged the importance Of q school
garden and real farm demonstration
for each school.
