form. in the development Of chsrac-
ter In boys or girls. He4ides, auch n
proceeding 10 an injustice and
to the pupils.
For the following year We would
make the following Recommendation
10 your hois0rable board.
First-That create emphasis be
placed upon schcaarship That the
OF social functions be- cut
down.
Second That. on no occasion
these entertainments be continued
later than midnight. That all social
Affairs be properly chapcr0neti. In
Guiding picnics. ii possihIe. several
mothers beng present. There has
been very general complaint on this
score.
Third--That the Fairgrounds be
supervised By teachers during the
time that the children are there. es.
|peciaiiy at recess and noon. and that
the school building be supervised at
the noon hour for the sake Of the
children who take their lunches.
Fourth-The ban be placed upon
the use OF liquor and cigarettes. and
all profane and unbecoming language
by students and guests during either
school hours. intermisslons or school
Entertainments In the building. This
TO include basement and grounds.
We deplore that some high school
boys have had liquor II the recent
social functions. also the habit many
lot the boys have formed OF making
up parties after school entertain
ments 10 20 10 the Hot Sprng and
dances at neighboring places In
further excitement and dissipation
We feel that our school superinten
dent should be able 10 get hold oil
these boys and restrain them, and
lead them into more wholesom,
channels of occupation and recrca
tion. Our children are as fine as Tho
best In the land, and deserving Of tbs
best We can give them. The Office o
school superintendent here Ii vital,
important In the lives OF several hun
dred children.
| Now the war liz over, good schoo
Taterial is abcidant Let us hay,
them then:
First--A man In good physica
health. The work is arduous. the de
mands are greas. The gove.nnen
requires certificate OF health fo
such work. Why should wey II

menace TO others. especially III,
young.
l. Second--A man whose habits ar
above reproach. Is II too much 4
ask that the man who stands az ..
example TO four or Ave hundred chi
idren be free from the liquor and cis
arctic habits,
Third--We would ask for a supel
lintendent, who. In addition Ia goo
education. has professional irainins
who Is trained TO train others. and d
hold his teachers TO high degee q
deficiency.
Now. II may be that for this yeai
the Board may not feel that IL ca
reseind It's action. We had hardl
hoped for that. but In n too late 1
ask or suggest that another man b
Installed In the schools. say as Hlg'
school principal. who has physica
Figor, good habits and professions

both teachers and pupilsy
