URGES GRADUATES
: TO HELP SCHOOLS
Dr.. Green, in Wilson Normal
Address, Tells Class to
Aid Education.

A plea for a constructive attitude
on the part of the American public
toward public schools, which would
lead people to further public school
education, instead of neglecting their
public duties, was made last night by
DIR. Thomas +. Green of the American
Red Cross, principal speaker at the
graduation exercises of the James Or
mond Wilson Normal School, which
took place in Central High School.
DR.. Green vigorously denounced
those citizens who stupidity criticize
the public school system and seek to
divert students from following that
career by emphasizing what they
term inadequate pay" and who prefer
to mold dough instead of brains"
DIR. Frank w. Ballou, superintend
ent of schools, presided and Mrs. VIII
