Public education Is the stronghold
and security Of Democracy. It is the
greatest product of our Common
wealth, and Is our most permanent
possession, the one thing that q
man or woman does not lose in
times of economic distress and So
cial uncertainty.
The educational system In the
State of Washington today ranks
among the best in the nation, al
ways providing an equal opportun-
ity to all children to take advan-
tage of our fine public schools. Much
of the credit for this notable ac-.
complishment is probably aScribed
to legislation, taxes, budgets, man
agement, ETC., but there is tend
ency to overlook the Importance OF
the inspiring and sustaining influ-
ence of the Washington Congress
of Parents and Teachers.
This splendid organization Is
made up of devoted parents and
teachers. It maintains direct re-
lation between the home and the
school, extends a wholesome influ-
ence into every public school, and
is constant guide for the health,
safety and character OF our child
rem. The Parent Teacher Associa-
tons throughout Washington have
been especially faithful and help
full throughout the years, standing
their ground for the preservation
and betterment of the common
schools, and making financial sac
rifices to carry on their public
spirited and valuable work.
Now, therefore, I, Clarence D.
Martin, Governor of the State Of
Washington, by virtue of the auth
GRITTY in me vested, do hereby pro-
claim the period of October 10th to
October 18th, inclusive, as Wash
ington Parent Week and
earnestly urge the people Of the
State Of Washington to observe this
week. Let us be mindful Of the
splendid purposes of the Washing
ton Congress Of Parents and Teach
ers, not only in appreciation Of the
mothers, fathers and teachers, but
also as q definite education Of the
children of Washington.
In Witness Whereof, I have here
unto see my hand and caused the
Seal Of the State of Washington to
be affixed at Olympia, A. D., 1888.
CLARENCE D. MARTIN.
Governor of Washington.

 Increases Bus Fleet

After delivery of 78 new motor coaches last year, the Connecticut Company today has a fleet of 333 motor coaches of various sizes. the largest group of public transit ve- hicles in the state, operating on the streets and highways of Connecti- cut.
