DO WE NEED SCHOOLS?

than one-fourth or 5294. of the 1886
children between IA and 10 years OF
age to whom federal certificates
were issued by the childrens bureau

Dor could not sign their own names
leeibly.
In the five states where federal GER
tifieates were issued by the children
bureau. 1889 white children between
IA and 10 year old were certificated
Only ZAP of them had reached the
eighth grade in school. OF 100 col
ored to whom certificates were is
sued. only 40 reached the eighth grade

white children and 81 per cent of the
colored children granted certificates

secure work permit until he is 10
years old unless he has completed the

THE SCHOOL SITUATION
An Open Letter

Mr.. r. L. Waggoner, Editor,
Please permit me the use OF your
columns in which to set forth my l.
deas concerning an important matter.
Considerable public notice and
comment have been directed towards
our High School, especially OF late, IN
the matter OF student discipline. Some
people seem to have the idea that It
is of little concern to the school If the
students take half-holiday now and
then for joy-riding and that no PEN
atty ought to be placed upon such
action. That is not right. Such con-
duct is breach in the order and DIS
cipline OF the school without which
it is impossible to accomplish that
fundamental purpose for which
schools are organized. Any man is
liable for arrest for a breach OF the
peace if he maliciously interrupts the
conduct of school. The least that
should be done to student who re-
peatedly and wilfully does the same
thing. in one form or another, is to
tell him that he is expelled tor good.
From such an order there should be
no appeal.
1t is on the other hand, serious bus
mess for school authorities to deprive
Young man or woman OF the oppor-
tunities for an education 1t must
not be done except in extreme situ-
ations. and then let there be no hes
itation. 1t is wrong to let few HIN
| der the progress OF the majority. The
people OF this community spend
great deal of money on the high
school. They have right to expect
| that the school be run on strictly
business basis even if by so doing
few Students have to be expelled
There are things in this world thai
have to be done even if they do hurt
Some OF these young people have
been repeatedly adv1ed that the,
must respect the school authority
They have been suspended severa
times and as many times received
! back into the school again upol
their solemn promise to do what \
right and every time they have bro
A.! ken their VOW 1t is not right tha
young people get into the habit
considering so lightly their word o
honor. All credit is due the schoo
for giving them every possibl
chance to finish their work. Blu
there are limits beyond which
should not be expected to go. The
are not mere children, they will sool
be voters. The sooner they learn t.
| meet an issue squarely. the bette
for them: and the sooner we as
community determine that we are go
ing to have high standard OF eff'
cheney and conduct in our higl
school and back up the school author
tiles to that end. the better it will b.
for the shool. The school is plac
OF business. Make it plain to student
and teachers alike that it must b.
maintained as such.
