Patrons and all others interested
in education are welcome at all times
to come and inspect any phase of
work being done in school. In part,
we intend to make the public so
welcome that persons desiring to visit
in any room are asked not to rap
on the door but lust omen the door
walk in. find a seat, stay till satisfied.
and walk out without any formality
By this method, the teacher will not
be interrupted, the class not disturb
ed and the visitor can see things done
in the natural and usual way.
