COMMUNITY AND HEALTH DAY

November 81 has been designated
as Community and Health Day for
this year. It is desirable that every
member of the community should
have attended the inspiring exercises
of Education Week several times be-
fore the close of school, Friday after
noon. These visits TO the school will
have prepared everybody for the
coming together of the community on
Saturday. The schoolhouse is the
logical community center and the
meeting should be held there unless
a larger building is found necessary.
In some Southern States. open air ex-
ercises may be most desirable and in
many localities there will be picnics
and games.
The suggested program names for
discussion such subjects as: "Equali-
ty of opportunity for every American
boy and CIR" "A square deal for the
country boy and girl" "A sound
mind in a sound body" Physical ed
ucation means health and strength"
A health officer for every commun-
ity," Adequate parks and play
grounds" Proper food and rest for
children" 1.-THE school as commun-
ity CENTER" Public library service
for every community"
The meeting may outline it's own
program, or preferably a committee
may do this in advance. II the re-
suit is a closer relationship between
the community and its school, unity
of purpose in the neighborhood, and
warmer friendliness among neigh
bors the coming together on this day
will not have been in vain.
The final exercises of Education
Week, Sunday. November 20. may be
in charge Of the minister. It will be
