But merely to invite the public into
the school buildings is not enough;
there are those who will see and not
perceive; who will hear and will not

land there should be held in Education

be practically set forth the value of
education; its effect upon the wage

women; the possibilities offered by
vocational training; the advantages
of part-time schools. The representa-

of providing for them the best posi-

President National Congress of Parent, and Teachers

What do you know about your
child's school? How is your child's
home cooperating with it? Does
your child have trained parents as
we'll as trained teachers?
If the home can answer these three
questions it will be taking its due
part in Education Week.
We can have neither interest in nor
fair opinion of that of which we are
totally ignorant. The great majority
of people today know nothing what
ever about the schools in which their
money is invested and to which their
children are sent to secure an educa-
tion. Many parents do not know the
name of the school their children at
tend or of the teachers in whose care
they spend five hours Of five days a
week and whose influence upon their
lives will never be effaced They do
not know Whe ther the school plant is
good or bad; the equipment modern
or antiQuated; the instructors capa-
bic or inefficient Having no knowl-
edge, they lack appreciation Of the
professional skill Of the teacher; never
having seen d class in operation; they
have not realized the tremendous ad-
vances made in recent years in meth
DDS and subject matter. Unaware Of

cooperate with the Superintendent
and teachers, worked willingly to
make a large laboratory table with
lockers and shelves, and twelve other
large tables for use in the laboratory
and agriculture room. We also made
two tables for the office, large rack,
including lockers, for students books
and caps, etc.
We improved the appearance of ev-
cry room by painting the walls under
the blackboards and windows; we also
painted the halls and vanished the
door frames.
We have helped the teachers de-
velop the large closet upstairs, which
was never compelled, into an office.
1t makes very convenient one, with
entrance from the hall. We laid the
floor and put on the lath, thereby re-
ducing the expense of the County
Board of Education, which paid for
the material and the plastering. We
put together the pieces of an old
stove and polished it up for use in
the office. This also saved the coun-
ty more money. The office is equip
ped with new roll-top principals
desk, two tables, several chairs, a
bookcase with library and reference
books and new International En-
cyclopedia. This new reference ma
terial is greatly appreciated. 1t was
purchased jointly by the Board of Ed
ucation and the school.
Recently the County Superinten-
dent authorized our principal to pur-
chase from the Rand McNally Com
pany five Westermann maps, singly
mounted, in folded form with eyelets.
These are very helpful in teaching
history and geography courses and
we are thankful for them. The stu
dents in the first and second year
mathematics classes and the Board of
Education purchased jointly SIS
worth of mathematics equipment.
Space does not allow the enumer-
alton of all the minor improvements.
We simply wish to say that we are
mighty proud of them all and espec-
tally the new and large laboratory
facilities.
Academic Progress.
We have just passed through a
siege of mid-year examinations and
are now on the second half of the
school year. The following indicates
some of the work we have covered:
The class in physics has completed
the study of general properties of
matter, mechanics of fluids, the ba-
rometer and its uses, motion, and the
different kinds of machines. The class
has completed thirteen experiments.

tages in order that itmay see its pres
ent advantages. 1t offers no excuses
but takes pride in using the best it
has to the best advantage toward rem
dering the largest possible service.
Its destiny lies in its spirit and eff
fort. It's banner is the Stars and
Stripes, because it aims at the stars
and smiles at the stripes!

Improved Equipment.
The greatest Improvement in the
way Of equipment has been made in
the physics and chemistry laboratory.
The nature of this report does not
permit full explanation of the prob
lens encountered during the first few
weeks of school due to the need of
laboratory equipment. These prob
lens have heretofore been published.
The solution of these problems was
made possible primarily through the
interest of Mr.. F. E. Rathbun, our
County Superintendent. His splen-
did cooperation enabled US to pur-
chase considerable laboratory sup
plies. We, the students, desiring to
