pose Of calling attention to the need
of physical education and health
work. When we realize that one
fourth OF the young men called to
military service were unfit physical
ly for this task. and they we're sup
posed to be the best Of our young
manhood, 1t is time to consider the
state of the physical well-being Of
our growing generation, for no a
ton can be stronger than the physi-
cal wdlIAbeing Of dts people. Our
intellectual progress goes hand In
hand with our physical development.
The people OF Rawlins were urged
to help observe American Education
Week and also to help promote the
cause of education generally, in the
following ways:
n. To help get all the children of
school & into school and to attend
school regularly, and encourage
those over the compulsory school
age to attend as long as possible.
b. Encourage young people to fin
ish high school at least, and college
If possible.
c. Help in teacher recruiting, i.
e.. encourage young people to take
up teaching as a profession.
d. We need more classrooms. Be
gin to talk and plan for a new high
school building.
g. Boost for our night school
which will open after the holidays,
especially the Americanization work.
z. Support the demonstrating
Bill which provides for a Department
Of Education with a Secretary in
the Presidents Cabinet. This would
give education the recognition which
it should have, it would provide for
financial aid to education by the
Federal Government, and it would
make it possible to unity and co-or-
dinate educational activities and
programs throughout the nation
which are impossible at present.
d. The Night School. Our night
school this year was a great success
1t being the second year that eve
ming classes have been offered by
the Rawlins Schools. The enroll
ment in the night school varied from
time to time. the total enrolment

e. annual May FESTIVAL and School
Exhibit. h big event OF the school
is the Annual May Festival and
School Exhibit both of which are
held on the same day. early In May.

that a thousand people visited the
school on hat day.
