SHOW MUCH ACTIVITY

More Commodious School Buildings
Erected and Others Repaired as Re-
sult OF Leagues Efforts to Improve
Conditions.

The annual report of the son school
and civic leagues of the State have
been coming into the Office of the CO.
Operative Education Association for
the last four weeks. These reports
show that the leagues have been very
active during the last year in i'm
proving the school and communities Of
Virginia.
Through the efforts put forth by
these organizations many new school
buildings have been erected, and large
sums have been spent in improving
buildings and grounds. In large
number of places the health condi-
lions in the school and community
have been greatly improved. At other
points the social life for the young
people has been made more attrac-
Tive. The leagues have worked indus
triously for good roads and better
farming so that splendid results have
been achieved along these lines,
These reports indicate the fact that no
other organization of the State is
doing more for school and commu-
nifty development than the school and
civic leagues. under the direction OF
the COOPERATIVE Education Associa-
ton.
one of the very best reports was
that from the West End School and

These chairmen in turn selected

were held for discussing such business
as should properly be brought be-

which a speaker of recognized aefi-
