ny YOU SHOULD
VISIT YOUR SCHOOL

There are several reasons why par
IS should visit the school. Most
rents want to know what their
iidren are doing in school. and a
I'd way to find out is to visit tho
hool. 1t increases the students in
rest in school and causes them to
y more anxious in doing their
lily school work. IF parents visit
g school it shows their interest in
Q school and enables them to coop
ate with the teachers.
Any child who expects his parents
visit the school will be more exact
preparing his lessons, so as to be
le to make good recitation be-
re his parents and teacher.
Some parents may not understand
a methods of teaching, as methods
e constantly changing, and if par
IS visit the school we are certain
ey will be able to better under
md the methods.

Of requests for broadcasting news of

Senator Ball of Delaware today
added to the list, submitting a re-
