Instructors
Make the
School
Authorities Should
Cut UneSsentials
On the Budget
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Higher and higher the school
budgets grow but there is no indica-
ton that the children get more out
of the schools. And that ought to
be the standard of measure for the
authorities responsible for the
maintenance and administration of
the schools Does each dollar help
in making the children more intel
ligent, better fitted for their respon-
sibilities of citizenship?
The quality of the teacher is
what makes the school for the
children. Good teachers, gifted
by nature and trained in the COL
leges and universities, must be
found and we'll paid. 1t is the
teacher, not the impressive build
ing not the elaborate equipment
that is essential. Given the good
teacher, costs can be cut all along
the line.
The good teacher needs little
supervision. Leadership is all she
asks. She needs only the SIM
plest of materials. She is stimu-
lating ideas, directing tastes, fos-
tering skills. and as these require
more mind than material she gets
along with the least possible ex-
pense She does not need much
help from truant officers because
her pupils want to get to her class
room as often as possible and stay
as long as she will let them. Re-
pairs are reduced to the minimum
because children interested in their
own affairs do not wreck equipment.
Any city or town can afford to pay
for the good teacher because she
more than pays her way.
Yet, whenever costs are to be
cut it is to the teachers salaries
the budget-cutting gentlemen turn
first. The place where they can
least afford reduction of quality
is in the teaching staff yet that is
always where reduction begins. A
disturbed, distressed teacher does
not give her pupils what they need
for growth and it is with the chill
dren's growth that the commu-
nifty, through its school authori-
ties, should be concerned.
This is too often overlooked.
Teachers are released, appointed,
retired; jobs are created, abol-
ished, increased-not with the chill
dren's need in mind but with the
personalities involved to the fore
If the schools of this land were
managed for the children and for no
other reason they would cost less
and do more for their pupils.
Some time, when your school
costs are bothering the authori-
ties, sit down with the lists OF
activities and the personnel Of your
school. List the classroom teachers
and study their schedules. Then
list the activities that have been
tied to the school, the people who
hold the jobs, and their salaries
Balance the classroom costs against
these others. You will learn some
thing about mounting school costs
unless your town is different from
all the other towns in the country
Now set aside your teachers. sched.
ules. Raise them if you can, and dt
the cutting on the unessentials-
unessential for the children whose
school this is supposed to be.

Dorothy Dix Says>>>
Parents Do Wrong in Not Letting
Children Share Their Burdens

They are doing themselves a
wrong because they are keeping
their children from appreciating
them and being grateful to them.
For it is one thing to know that
father and mother are doing with
out something they need in order
to give them pleasure, and another
thing to think that father and
mother are old meanies who are
holding out on them.
And they are doing the children
a wrong because they are being
deceived about their position in life.
What seems callousness in the
young is often just ignorance. and
if children understood just exactly
how the family finances stood and
what the family needs were, there
are very few Of them who wouldn't
sympathize with their parents and
be willing to help out to the best
of their ability.
