ARMETICE, EDUCATION
WEEK In LOCAL SCHOOLS

Education week and Armistice day
were observed throughout the city
schools this week in programs at as
semblies. The high school conducted
a night session when visitors were
given a cross section of the high
school work. There were programs at
Brannen and Dunbar schools also.
Follows the reports from the high
school and Emerson principals.
The custom of the local high school
of holding a night school, going
through portion of the regular work
of the school, is very popular among
the patrons. A large group of inter-
ested parents and other visited the
high school last Thursday night and
they evidently enjoyed seeing the
school in action.
The visitors attended the classes,
looked about the building, talked to
the teachers, and attended the assem-
bly, held at the close of the session. A
schedule of the classes being held,
with the name of the teacher, number
of the room, ETC., was given each visi-
tor. The entire building was open for
the inspection of the patrons.
Many of the parents and friends of
the school find it impossible to visit
during the regular school hours. This
group is permitted to view the school
in action through the evening session
AS these parents are more interested
in the regular work of the school than
they are in special programs, the reg
ular work is carried on. The assem-
bly, period, which comes regularly
three times a week at the high school,
is one of the regular phases of school
work, the one where all of the groups
get together and activities benefiting
all are carried on. The assembly held
after the evening school session was
a typical 'pep" assembly, according
to Mr.. Thomas, superintendent of
schools. The fact that the Williams
game came on the following day nee
essarily made this assembly period of
the "pep" variety.
Flagstaff is fortunate in having
such modern and well-conducted high
school. The faculty and administra-
tion have succeeded admirably in max
ing the high school work of our boys
and girls elevating and valuable. Par
ents may well take an active interest
in the schools and give their best
thought toward preserving the pres
ent satisfactory conditions and back
ing up the school authorities in the
improvement program.
