The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1918-09-20

few days ago we were assured that
everything that is financially possible
would be done to render more cheer
full the conditions of this building.
The children spend more of their
time under the influence of the school
environment than they spend in any
other building-perhaps more than
in all other buildings; and the con-
ditions of the school will stamp
themselves on the child's mind, and,
in a great measure, determine his
sense of cleanliness and beauty thru
out his entire life.
/ Our policies and attitude toward
the public consist in desire to rem
der such service as will improve the
quality of it's citizenship. Our first
aim is to direct the children toward
an ideal of good citizenship which
we believe consists in the highest
possible ability to serve the COM
munity and the State.
We want school life to be happy,
believing that we develop best under
happy surroundings. We shall deport
ourselves toward these young folks
| Justly and considerably, absolutely
on the square; and we shall expect
and demand of them similar atti-
tude toward heir classmates and
teachers. We expect to illustrate
and apply the golden rule.
The faculty wish to be fair,
frank and free in communicating
with parents, and we invite the same
spirit on the part of parents. Both
I teacher and parent are interested in
the welfare and progress of the child
and they should be the best of
4 friends. Misunderstanding can gen
orally be cleared away and cleared
away right and the child helped by
frank, honest, face to face talk be-
tween parent and teacher. We will
always guarantee you cordial well
come in the office during Office hours.
Our whole thought and work is for
the welfare of the boys and girls of
this community. The teachers can
be seen any day after the children
: are dismissed They are too busy to
hold conferences during class periods
The superintendent Office hours are
from to p. m. daily.
Please do not ask us to call chill
: dren to the telephone or to carry
? messages to them. If each child in
school were called once a month
there would be about forty calls a
2 day. In fact, during the first few
days of school these calls were sc
| frequent that one person would have
] been constantly on the run to &C
commodate them all. To locate q
pupil in the high school requires 6
! search of three floors and an inter.
$ ruption of perhaps all the classes IL
the school to make inquiry. We wan
$ to be obliging and kind, but we be
q lieve our duty demand that VIZ
make the above request.
In an experience extending ovel
nearly twenty years, / have nevel
been associated with more con
I genial, respectful and responsive
group of boys and girls than l hav'
found in Union City. We are goinl
30 |,
and industriously. l have met man.

are undoubtedly the most sociabl'
: and genial it has ever been my pleas

. Certainly there is every reason fo
