NEEDS SUPPORT
OF Efficient SCHOOLS

"We are living In days when sacri-
fee is Indispensable to successful ex1
istence," said David Grotta, President
of the Newark Board of Trade, in q
recent address. "We must sacrifice to
do justice to our schools. They have
been our p~roudest asset.
ITO do justice to our schools we
need the teachers, who are leaving
their honored profession because we
have not treated them justly. Take
warning ere it is too late. To our
teachers we entrust the character,
the strength, the destiny of future
generations; even the church is help
less without the support Of efficient
schools"
