form In the community, If they render
the kind of service that is expected of
them.
1t is essential that children be taught
" know the institutional life Of the
SNnrnunlty, its organization and its re.
sasions. II is also essential that every
hoy snd girl be taught to produce some

hrirt and economy. In the past the
schools have emphasized thrift and
economy. In the past the schools have
emphasized thrift and economy possibly

every member of the system should be.
