 Report on Educational Week Principal Orrin l.. Judd of the | Plainrille Grammar school stated 10. day that education week this year n 1 the locai school was observed with much interest and resulted in large nrmber of parents becoming interest ih what is being carried on in the 1 schools. In all the class rooms, the l regular school work was carried or l giving the visitors an opportunity to see the systems being used. According to MT. Judd, parents and others interested often get wrong inn pre ssions Of the teachers. conditions in the school and the work being done t.ere as shown by the reports brought home by the pupils, heard from misconstrued statements and tales that are told These reports are accepted at their face value in many cases without an effort being made to get the schools side of the story and in this way, the parents side with their children and become firmly fixed against the schools. In this way. education week brings the parents and teachers together in a way that is impossible otherwise. The parents meet the women and men who have their children in charge, wrong impressions are often correct. cd and the parents often find that their children have Inisrepresented things in order to cover up their own deficiencies.
