A STRONG TEACHING FORCE

URGENT.
A STRONG TEACHING FORCE

Final preparations for the reopen
ing of the public schools are being
made and Monday Of next week will
witness the close of a care-free vaca-
ton for some six or seven hundred
children and the beginning of another
nine months which is not without its
sorrows, nor yet without it's joys.
It will be observed that there are
some changes in the curriculum for
this year. French has been substitute
ed for German, music as special de-
partment has been omitted on account
of not being an actual necessity in war
times, while agriculture and domestic
art have taken on larger proportions.

Supt. Aygarn furnishes the follow
ing statement in connection with the
coming school year.
Every boy and girl should have a
real good answer: "why I am return
ing to school this fall"
Our country is calling for well
trained men and women. 1t is urging
parents and pupils to stay in school
every day to see that the regular
course of study is completed. At pres
ent there is a great danger of pupils
taking some special work before they
are ready for it. Anything to get
through in a few months. This is
q sufficient preparation and is not
what the country is asking OF you as
a patriotic duty which is to remain IN
school until the high school course is
completed. And later take up the
Normal course of teaching or enter
some technical and scientific lines in
college, to meet the great need Tor
trained men and women.
It is urged upon the schools that
there be no relaxation in the enforce
ment of laws relating to school at
tendance. To be present every day is
a strong indication that pupil is in
terested and will make success; one
day out of school, or poor excuse
may be the beginning of the end OF
successful school work. Let US hope
that the school and the home can
work successfully together that at
tendance this year may be at its
maximum. Perfect school attendance
IS in itself success. Are you one
of them?
y We are looking for a splendid at
tendance and with the new opportuni-
ties offered to older boys and girls
there should be an increased enroll
nent this year.
