American Education
Week, November I'll

: Nv. d. Evans, Principal of the
Knoxcville, High School, Knoxville,
Tennessee, has said: This Is again
the open season for shooting at edu-
cation. This situation occurs during
each war, and periodically between
times" Heretofore there has Deen
little rebuttal on the part of educa-
tors; but during this season, those
connected with the education OF
American boys and girls are not will
ing to have mud in the eye" because
thoughtless critics continually Sc
1ect the most extreme cases as PROOF
that American education is weak.
However, in pointing out the
things that education has done, Is
doing, and expects to continue TO
do. lit would be equally unfair to Sc
lect the extreme success" cases. AS
a matter of fact, to bicker over in
dividual instances at time like TINS
would be mere trivia. 1t is the picture
of a nation that has gone to school
that we are after.
Because of (not in spite OF, MT.
Cynic) the American High School
that institution where our boys and
girls have been educated for democ-
racy in democratic way-where
millions of professional men ana
women, millions of business men
and women-millions of average
Americans, received their educatlonai
oundations-because of this, the
United States was able to switch
from peace to war with the most
amazing rapidity and success OF any
nation on the face of the earth.
1t might be interesting to see Just
what high schools aim to do for boys
and girls: Sound health, worthy
home membership, mastery OF funda-
mentals, good citizenship, vocation
al efficiency, wise use of leisure time,
training in good character, and, at
neutrality-suspicious. to help win the
war and the peace"
But the public has an obligation
in this matter, too! The schools nave
the pupils approximately seven hours
a day, five days a week. A puplrs
education goes on throughout the
remainder Of the day, the evening,
and the night.
There are many features in our
local communities that are not car
rying on the high grade of education
from after-school on till bedtime.
The people must realize their debt to
eudcation-their obligation to keep
undesirable features from youth-or
the schools cannot make a real sue
cess. The home and church must
team up with the school in this over
all business of guiding youth.
Before you, as an individual, crit
icize the schools, answer to yourself:
Have ]. visited high school recently
lust to see what sort of educatlonai
program is going on? Have ever
taught in high school? Are my
children in high school? Do really
know what is actually going on in
thees schools? Do realize that chill
dren of all levels of abilities, from
ali types of homes make up the
school population?
The American High School is do
ing job and is doing it well. II we
in America don't believe that, the
population and soldiers of our enc
mics do. Ask them They realize what
q tremendously good job has been
done. They have felt the sting OF
American genius, American health,
American thinking, American spirit
they know; and the high school
has produced it's share of all this.

Local Eating Places Get
High Sanitary
Rating

Despite rapid labor turnover.
wartime shortage of materials, and
record volume of business that
has taxed all facilities, New Han
over county restaurants and cafes
have attained an average sanitary
score of 1878 which Sanitary Inspec-
tor, w. c. Haas said Friday was
very commendable. even for nor
NAL times
The average figure is low "B'
grade, and was obtained by adding
the newest inspection scores OF
the 1873 eating establishments in
the county.
According to Mr.. Haas, the low
est score found was 24.5. and the
highest IS.
The reason for the comparative
ly high average, Mr.. Haas attri-
buted to the vigilance of the eat
ing public and the increasing inter-
est of the restaurant operators IN
complying with sanitary regula-
tons.
The sanitary grade, which must
be conspicuously displayed IN res
taurants and cafes, grows increas-
ingly important to both patrons
and operators, he said.
To the end of educating restaur-
anteurs more thoroughly in SAM
tation methods, Mr.. Haas is pro-
posing to initiate classes OF instruc'
ton within the near future. Ma
terial for use in the classes is al
ready in process of preparation
and the operators being solicited
for attendance. Many of them have
indicated to Haas their interest II
the project, and have expressed
wholehearted support.

education for increased sanitation
