Commencement Week.


for the summer vacation. The year
under the superintendency of Mr.. Fred
Holt has been vigorously carried
through. Mr. Holt found school al
ready well organized; he has continued
to build on the foundation laid, and the
Edgerton schools today are stronger
than they were year ago. The effort
on the part of the administration of the
school to instil earnestness, greater
sense of responsibility, better ideals for
work and play has been felt by those
who have tried to keep in close touch
with the school and its efftrts, and it
is TO be hoped that these worthy efforts
may keep on growing in their influence
upon our city's school life as the years
pass. We want teachers who are pop
ular with the students and with the
| citizens, but above all, we want teach
ers who are efficient, and who in their
work and personal influence become q
| power in the growth of the best things
in the minds of the students and in the
| life of the community. There is no
profession Of greater potential impor-
lance to the young mind and to the
spirit which characterizes our citizen
ship than the teaching profession. Hon.
est endeavor of the teacher to make
the school the worthiest thing COM
munity possesses should be met by I'M
stinted cooperation by all sitizens, and
he should be honored and commended
as the foundation builder of the culture
| of the mind, the heart and the hand.
Life is short, but arr is long, is a
poor translation of an old saying, but
it is true one, and it applies to the
art of applied education. Edgerton
| owes to its teachers at the close of the
school year word of appreciation for
all honest and upright effort they have
made to give us better schools, a better
vision of what our schools should stand
for, and a clearer understanding of
| what more must be done to make our
! schools steadily grow in the wholesome
| ness of the directing power belonging
to them as a community institution.
