al Income TaX.-Revenue Officers

Work has begun on the collection of
the income tax for the year 1920.
Uncle sam. through the Bureau of In

person in the United States tile ques-
ton, What was your net income for

and every married person whose net
income was $1,000 or more is required
to file a return under oath with the

THE PURPOSE OF OUR SCHOOL.

My aim in writing these papers is
TO place before the people of Saratoga
the purpose of their school. the value
OF the school to the individual and the
community. In doing this it will be
necessary to point out the conditions
in the school as they now exist. and to
suggest II remedy where needed.
In the past. the purpose of education
has been %variously stated. But let us
take the definition of genuine effici-
ency. In general, it means preparing i'm
the best possible way cach pupil for the
work he has to do in life, whether that
work he in the carpenter shop or in
the managers office of the great fac
tory. Genuine efficiency means more
than the ability to hold II position or to
earn money; the really efficient man
must also do well his share of religious
and civic work. If this is the aim of
the school. then the teachers aim
should be to develop efficient individ-
uals it should be that of real eff
cheney.
\ teacher should have a. clearly de
fined aim as to the purpose of educa-
tion. Without This how can he set
