small tasks cannot but be . benefit
to students. Naturally, no one ex-
poets the schools alone to make over
boys and girls who are careless and
thoughtless In the home, on the
street and everywhere. But the
schools can do their part in helping
students to realize that . great deal
of the worlds finest work is done
by people who plod along carefully
and thoughtfdlly day by day.
The curriculum revision in our
schools is giving our educators an
opportunity to evaluate our educa-
tional system. On the foundation
that we have they will build for the
pupils Of the future.
AS a parent, I am grateful for
the splendid work done in our pub
lie school system here in Washing
ton. am glad that our children
can work in charming surroundings
in schoolrooms that are presided
over by able men and women. I
hope that every technique that will
arouse and maintain interest In
subject matter will be continuously
employed for our children. Nat
urally, I leave to the educators the
making of the curriculum and the
techniques of teaching, but as q
parent I hope that In the schools
of Washington there will always be
an emphasis on the fundamentals
Of education, on accuracy, on habits
of careful work.
Reading, writing, spelling, arith-
metic are necessary tools for every
educated person. Their mastery is
to my mind absolutely essential.
The formation of habits of work is
the greatest gift that public school
education can give to its pupils.
Let us be sure that the school
child of today leaves our schools
aware of the fact that conscientious
work done to the best of his ability
will bring him the deepest katisfac-
ton he can ever know.

ness were the essence Of man, then
a rooster would be 4 man. There
are many necessary accidents to ed

kinds Of athletics and some kinds
Of extra curricula activities. The
essence OF education, however, is the
contact Of mind with mind, whether
by the medium of oral discussion
or the written word. Any school
or college, any teacher or student,
that calls these institutional trap

who points to the two-leggedness

The beginning Of a new school
year In autumn is always a time
Of high hopes and plans. 1t is
also a suitable time for students
parents and teachers to take stock
Of themselves, their aims and pur-
poses. In most schools and colleges
the thoughtful student is capable
Of distinguishing the gold from the
gloss, the essential and valuable
from the accidental and irrelevant,
the true from the false. If he discrim-
mates wisely he stands the greatest
chance of catching the spark OF
intellectual life, and of learning to
be at home in the world OF ideas
upon which all civilized living de-

dren habits of work that will carry
over in their post-school life is vital
to the future of our Nation.
Washington teachers realize the
need for thoroughness in teaching.
Many of them feel they are seriously
handicapped by the large number
of children in their classes. They
believe in intoxicating in children
the right attitude toward work. but
this is difficult in a class so large
that they can't reach them invid-
ually. Teachers welcome the aids
to education, the techniques that
arouse interest, the charm Of in
formality in teaching, but they en-
phasize. too, that they have to bat
tie against the spirit of the times.
Painless Information.
The radio teaches our children to
accept much through their ears,
more or less painlessly. The movies
give them education through eyes
and ears, without effort on their
part. Before the coming of sound
pictures some little brain power was
needed to read the titles, but with
the coming of sound that exertion
is no longer needed. Magazines are
becoming highly pictorialized Maybe
we are going back to the days of
thousands of years ago when COM
munication was largely through pic
ture- writing. Children, after all,
must learn to use their brains in

Aviators took part in single combats
with the enemy.
If pilot shot down five or more
enemy planes, he was classed as an

dozens of planes.
A German named Richtofen had
