EDUCATION RALLY DAY

Education Rally Day will be OBJ
served in Chesterfield Thursday night,
Dec. 8th, at the school house. This
meeting is held under the auspices
OF the American Legion. A most in
teresting program has been arranged.
The main purposes of the rally are
to inform the public of the accomp-
lishments and needs of the public
schools and to secure cooperation
and foster good Americanism.
No service has sufferd more from
unintelligent criticism than the
schools. The average citizen does not
read educational literature or ac-
counts of teachers meetings or visit
schools to learn what they are doing.
he has a conception of school only as
he Knew it in his own school days.
American Education Week, fostered
by the American Legion, should give
the taxpayers who furnish the funds
for the public schools first-hand
knowledge of the service for which
they pay.
