SCHOOLS AND DEMOCRACY


The payroll which the teach
ers get today can not compare
with what the teachers got in
1886, The industry of education
covers much ground, much more
that it did many years ago. To-
day the modern schools are
much better than the one room
schools which we are trying to
wipe out. The Federal govern
ment wants to give aid to many
of the schools which are class
ed much lower than others. The
schools do not want the aid be-
cause they think they will lose
freedom. The schools of today
ain, to tear down or remodel
the one room schools so that

chance of educating themselves.
When we are grown, we will
have a better chance of jobs.
You certainly want a better

And used my coat to keep him

A moving picture "The Hoosier

of making money to pay for films
and transportation on films to be
used later in our school work. The
admissions were 5 cents and 10
cents. We had quite a large crowd

meeting, voted to sell refreshments
at that time to increase their trea-

Many things were needed in class

draw from the money for our Ra-

The class brought the material
and Hilda SETTER and Judith Johns

selling the drinks.
With the money the class has
bought goldfish for their fish
