served in the local schools in ac-
cordance with the suggestions from
the Federal and State authorities.
Prof H. e. Snavely. superintendent
OF schools, has issued invitations to
all parents. guardians and friends
OF the scholars to visit them at their
convenience during the week. and as
frequently as they desire.
No special program other than
routine work OF the classes have
been arranged. Visitors will there
fore have an excellent opportunity
to get first hand information OF the
nature and quality OF the work be-
ing done. Prof. Snavely said last
night Instructive criticism will be
appreciated"
While parents have been welcome
to visit the schools at all times in
the past this is the first concerted
effort made to get them to come.
The object OF these visits is for the
purpose OF getting the operations Of
the school before the public. II is
believed this weeks visits will give
the visitors a better and fuller un-
derstanding OF what is being done
by teacher and pupil, and result in
bettering the school conditions OF
the city and creating a closer rela-
tionship between the home and
school.
