Report of Committee on Resolutions
We approve the action of Super-
intendent Henson in holding the
County Teachers Training Course.
and express our appreciation of his
ability to secure the services of w.
Homer Hill, conductor, and c. S.
Gilbert, instructor.
We wish to thank Supt. Hill and
Supt. Gilbert for the many ex-
cellent ideas presented during these
sessions, and express our gratitude
for the concise and instructive man
ner in which they presented their
subjects and for the candor and
frankness shown in giving advice to
the less experienced teachers.
We recognize the importance of
agriculture and recommend that the
teachers cooperate more diligently
with the organizers of Boys and
Girls Clubs, and we express our
appreciation of the excellent work
being done toward advancing the
interests of agriculture and improv-
ing home conditions by b. A. Pratt.
State Club Agent, W. b. Hanly,
County Agent, and Miss Randall,
them for their partici
Home Demonstration, and thank
them for their participation in our
program.
we recommend strenuous eff
fort on the part of the county sup
erintendent and all teachers toward
the formation of more consolidated
school districts.
We recommend that the teachers
of Beaver County lend their efforts
to the extension of the work of
bringing the home and the school
into closer relationship, by en-
couraging tie organization of Par
ent-Teacher associations in towns,
and Community Clubs in rural dis
tricts; thereby promoting better
homes, better schools, better COM
munIties and better conditions for
child life.
Health inspection of school chill
dren in our large cities is no longer
an experiment II makes for better
health, for happier life, for greater
efficiency and for economy in both
time and money. Health inspec-
tion of all children attending public
school should be mandatory. We
recommend accordingly.
We commend as timely, and ap-
preciate the effort to have placed
before the voters of our great state
at the coming November election,
bill whereby all children of
school age shall be compelled to at
tend a public school where English
is the only language taught below
the ninth grade, for at least five
months each year, until they have,
completed the eighth grade.
We have some school districts in
Beaver County in which the school
buildings and grounds are seriously
defective, both from the architect
ural and the sanitary standpoint.
We therefore recommend that the
teachers in such districts urge up
on their school boards the expedi-
ency of remedying these defects.
Resolved that we extend a vote of
thanks to the Beaver School Board,
the Trustees of the NJ. Z. Church
and to the citizens of Beaver in
general, for the use of the graded
school building and the NJ. E.
Church, as meeting places and for
the courteous reception accorded
us.
Respectfully submitted this eight
eenth day of August, 1922.
Signed
A. c. GUFFY,
ADDIE LAUGHTON,
MISS TICE,
