GOOD
Many Pupils Are Perfect. Mind
and Muscle Attachments

Ex-President Eliot, of Harvard, has
expressed the opinion that there
should be daily observations by the
children in the class room of some
thing they have heard, seen or read.
This statement was taken from the
New Jersey State examination in
English composition for April, 1921.
1t illustrates what we have attempted
to do from time to time to have our
young people see and hear what is be-
fore them every day. Many of US
know that some classes and many in
dividualS are much more awake to
what is going on about them than be-
fore this plan was started. The
Juniors especially are forming good
habits.
The United States Commissioner re-
ports that the cost per student for
high school education in the United
States is $84.49.
Steadily the cost of education in
creases. Influential citizens argue we
should return to the three "R's" and
reduce or eliminate expenditures for
manual training, sewing, and cooking.
What would be your attitude toward
such arguments and how would you
express it?
This was another question asked in
the April examinations for teachers.
The pupils of Miss Peterson's
are glad to find that once more they
rank high for attendance with an
average of $685. per cent. They rank
first in the High School group and
third in the whole school system.
One of our graduates of this year
tried the teachers examinations and
three of our recent graduates were
there to continue the work. Then,
too, 40 per cent of this years class are
planning to attend the New Jersey
Normal Schools.
We ought not to suffer from short
age OF teachers here in Penns Grove
for some time, if we make opportunity
attractive enough for them.
