COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
(By Superintendent)

10y Supeflntendent)
The Department of the Interior at
Washington is asking that all of the
schools observe as school week, Dec
ember 5-l1.
During this week they are asking
that teachers impress upon the child
rem the purpose, the methods, the
plans of the public school. They adj
wise holding community meeting,
December II in each district to dis
cuss how each particular school can
be improved.
They ask that the teachers tell the
children how the schools are support
ed, how they give equal opportunity
to rich and poor alike, how they make
for good citizenship, how they train
the mind and fit one for self support
and self advancement.
The teachers should show that it is
through education that the child is to
live up to the highest ideals of man
MOOD and womanhood, is to attain all
that in life is worth having. 1t is
very important that the child attend
punctually so as to be able to grasp
these opportunities that his parents,
together with the other adults of the
district pay for and offer him. Make
the child feel that he should strive
that not one minute go to waste.
The teacher should feel that he has
a sacred duty to perform, that he
gives service that is without price
that he gives himself
The parent should feel that the
one thing worth giving his child is an
education, is this chance to develop,
is the chance to make good
There is nothing like an education
to make one do good work in the
world and to make one stand well
with his fellows. The parent should
impress upon the child that he is
here for service and that to do good
service requires an efficient brain and
a clean, well developed body and that
nothing but the highest the child is
capable of is acceptable-that always
and ever he must give his best.
Perhaps why so many poor men
have become great is because they
have loved an education and because
of the sacrifices they have had to
make to get it they have used it to
good purposes.
Wisdom is better than riches es-
pecially if with this wisdom you have
added the understanding to use it to
a good purpose and with all Of your
might.
When a child has one middle sized
attendance certificate then the six
small one should be sent in and a
seal asked for. The next six
should be sent in with the middle
sized certificate and the seal and a
big certificate will be given. Teachers
should designate whether a seal or
middle sized certificate is needed. A
child should have only one middle
sized certificate.
Secretary j. M. Crabtree of the
National Education Association is
asking that all teachers join the as
ISOLATION. The dues are $500 per
year. The association is doing what
it can to forward the interests of
the teachers throughout the country
and is working for better qualified
teachers with larger salaries. His
address is:
