Wake Up This Week to School Needs
December 4th TO the 10th is America
Education week. Stop to think what
your school means TO your boys and
girls and what your boys and girls
mean to the community. The purpose
Of this as stated by the state super
intendent, IS to inform the public of
the accomplishments and needs of the
public schools and to secure the CO.
operation and support of the public
in meeting these needs. At no time
in American history has it been essen
tial for the people 10 be informed not
only as TO what the schools are ac-
complishing for American education
but also what the school system nov
needs TO make its work most effective.
As stated before teachers are asked
to cooperate in this matter and to
send a report of what was accomplish
ed, TO the office.
How Many Mistakes Have You Made?
A teacher famous throughout the
country says there are thirteen most
common mistakes Of life:
I. To attempt to set up your own
standards Of right and wrong.
>. To try and measure the enjoy
ments Of others by your own.
3. To expect uniformity of opinions
in this world.
i. To fail to make allowances for
inexperience.
.. To endeayor to mold all dis
positions alike.
6. Not to yield to unimportant
trifies.
2. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
8. To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
9. To consider a thing impossible
that we ourselves cannot perform.
10. Failing to help everybody,
wherever, however, and whenever we
can.
II. To believe only what our in
finite minds can grasp.
y. To make allowances for the
weakness of others.
10. To estimate by some outside
quality when it is that within him
which makes the man.
Limited ornaments in the interest
of world peace, is the demand Of the
Wisconsin Teachers Association at its
annual meeting at Milwaukee.
Reading Circle Work should be we'll
started. We find that it is so in a
number of schools already visited.
School societies also. Push vigorous
" this work that helps you, your
school and your community so much.
We have sent to each teacher pro-
ject outlines in geography, civics, MIS-
tory and language. We hope to see
some of this work exhibited on our
next visit to your schools.
Mako Your Tests Short
Don require children to write long
examinations. Ten to twenty minutes
will be long enough. Aim to quality
rather than quantity. Train pupils
IN speed in writing these tests. Call
for big things. Have the pupils write
a little often so that they will train
themselves to this. Have the pupils
write their papers over again, if nee
esSary. when they are shown their
mistakes. Show pupils how to write
paragraphs. Blackboard work under
the teachers supervision is often
helpful
