Night School Students
Honored Here Friday

THE most unimportant part of
your citizenship assumed this night Is
the right to VOTE" said Stanley Adkins,
superintendent of schools, in addressing
the graduating class in Americanization
at the exercises on Friday evening at
the Washington auditorium, when he
presented the diplomas to the q
graduates.
In calling attention to the obliga-
ton assumed upon becoming citizens,
Superintendent Adkins compared the
democracy of Europe under Dictator
ship with the democracy of this country
with its attendant benefits to the citi-
zens and its right of free speech, free
press and the right to worship God in
his own way by each individual.
I'VE must all stand together in pro-
tecting the principles of the democracy
which grants us the right to select our
own officials and make laws without
dictation from anyone" he said. 80
We must stand together in protecting
the principles of the freedom which
grants us the right to speak and write
and pray as we please and the prin-
ciples of equality which grants to all
the opportunity to progress and adj
vance, regardless of race, color or creed
Going back to the beginning of this
country he cited how democracy was
born and its effect on the people, allow
ing them to carry on in progressive
manner without the handicap of die
tatorial supervision in attaining this
democracy. He then spoke of the part
schools should play when he said: at
is in the schools that we must intensity
the training for participation in our
democratic society. That training should
certainly include teachings of the value
of human liberty, freedom of thought
of expression, of action, and possibly
above all, the worth and dignity of a
human being. A citizenry inculcated in
their formative years with these basic
principles is the best guarantee of
democracy"
Following his talk, he presented the
diplomas to the 81 graduates seated
on the stage. Diplomas We're given to
the following who had passed the ex-
aminationS with high honors, under the
expert instruction of Miss Clara Hand
berg, teacher of characterization in the
Ely schools, and her assistant, Mrs.

Community Health
S. R. Berenberg, u. D.

Director, Depar tment of Public Health
At the beginning of this school year this depart
recommended to parents that chi ildren with colds
running and ears, and rashes be kept at home
until phyd clan decided they were non-contagious.
This done in order to prevent the spread Of dis
through whole classroons. The Parent Teachers
Association approved this step and the community
cooperation has been gratifying. As result there
has been better general health in the school, and
the general attendance will prove to be better. We
urge continuation of this policy in order to keep
chill dren in the best possible health.
Any child can get, after an illness,a certificate
of re-ad ssion to the school by calling this Depart
ment and arranging for medical examination. We
wish to emphasize that this Will be done free of
charge.
Parents should remember that serious dis eases
epidanics may start by allowing children with minor
symptoms to in contact with healthy children.
A cold a running may be the forermner of
whooping cough, measles or even more serious ILL
which cannot be diagnosed wi certainty in its
early stages. mild throat may turn out to be
diphtheria-a highly contagious dangerous disease.
Your continued cooperation in this matter will
children healthy enough to get the full
of the education offered by school system.
