We are almost ashamed to admit
that we have not been in a High
School for thirty years, and not hav-
ing graduated from Hagerstown
High, we were not even acquainted
with the facilities there. This is SO,
in spite of the fact that our children
are presently in attendance at the
High School
So many things were observed
that were agreeable surprises to us,
when we finally got round to visit
ing the high school, we thought they
might be of interest to you too.
Some of the things were new to us
Others were old things in a new
dress-and a few were startling.
Here are some thoughts that came
to us and some facts that we learned.
y We noted friendly contact be-
tween students and teachers and a
willingness of teachers to give more
of their time (time that we were
not paying for) to students who need
ed it. The teachers were more
friendly than we seemed to remem-
Der our teachers.
y Students were being helped
not only in the subjects they had
chosen, but were helped in choosing
the subject or course best suited to
their requirements: and were help
ed all along the way.
81 The food was not as bad as we
had heard-in fact, we thought it
was better than we could expect for
the prices posted.
A. We were amazed at the size of
the operations-1200 students and
over SO teachers-a far cry from our
student days.
81 We were pleased and agreeably
surprised to note how the teachers
had been trained, having graduated
from some of the best institutions
for higher learning in this country,
and some with courses or degrees in
foreign institutions
g. A great surprise that delight
ed us no end, was to learn that
failure in a particular subject did
not necessarily cause a student to
have to repeat the entire year, nor
to cause him to leave his class or
his class activities. Examples were
found of students who had not
mastered a certain academic sub
ject, and who probably never would
master it. This, in my day, might
have meant the end of the students
education. Today, these students
are urged to take vocational work.
They receive their High School di-
plomas without ever having accom-
plished the impossible (as far as
they are concerned) and they have
a sense of pride in their accomplish
ments. They also are more useful
citizens.

y This, when we analyze it, is a
remarkable advance, and. requires
very special and careful handling.
The end justifies the means, when
we consider that another person is
in possession of a High School di-
ploma, who would not have one I'M
der the old system. Another person
has an opportunity for a place of
responsibility, honor, and character
in the social picture.
81 We were told that now the
emphasis is placed on teaching the
students to be happy and fit into the
life of the u. S. 1t sounded very
vague and idealistic. However they
gave us example after example of
specific cases of boys and girls who
never learned to be good readers or
writers, and yet actually graduate
them with some fundamentals, plus
actual training in vocational work,
such as auto mechanics, dress max
ing and all sorts of livelihood work.
We noted things that were disap-
pointing to us. These was poor
training in spelling; weakness in
geography; and overcrowded rooms,
the perennial problem. However,
by and large, the picture was far
more impressive than we had been
lead to believe.
We have at least two suggestions.
We believe spelling should be stress
ed more than it is at present, and
we suggest that the school system
not overlook the academic students
in its attempt to give every child
an education.

The Kingship Of Christ

Behold the world is gone
after him. John 1919. Read Mat
thew 21:1-11.
Now throughout Christendom will
be reenacted the last sacred week,
dark with tragedy and brilliant
with hope, overfilled with the mys-
terry of the divine love giving of
itself with prodigal extravaganza.
Let us now give thanks unto the
Father for the gift of Christ the King!
How often have his enemies been
made to confess his majesty. The
Pharisees plotting his destruction
confess with Encouragement, s'Be-
hold, the world is gone after him.
Once the demons within man had
seen in him their divine conqueror,
and cried, Have mercy on US" And
the centurion in charge of the cru
cifixion is moved to say, Surely
this is the Son Of God"
Mere recognition without accept
ance means greater damnation.
But to recognize divinity, and rec
ognizing, to return grateful allegi-
ance, is to receive the gift of life
eternal
Let Us Pray; May thy name. be
known, o sovereign Christ, in all
the earth, and all the sons of men ac-
cept thy reign with thanksgiving
crying; Blessed be the King that
cometh.

Attention --PubIic-Spirited Citizens

The Supreme Court of Florida has recently approx
ed the Sidewalk Improvement Program of The City
of Miami, permitting the City to proceed immediate
ly with the construction of much needed sidewalks
Construction work will soon be under way in three
sidewalk districts which bids received Oc-
tober S, 1949. This will involve work between West
7th Avenue and West 18th Avenue from S. w. 22nd
Street to NV. 36th Street, excepting between NJ w.
9TH Street and N. w. goth Street
Many of city streets have been zoned for flu
ture widening, and in order to accomplish the
structon of the sidewalks is necessary that the land
zOned be dedicated for public
Funds not available with which to purchase
this type of rght-ofway, and legal requirements in
the bond issue do not permit bond funds to be
pended for acquisition of rightof-way. Further,
sessment liens for sidewalk improvements cannot be
waived in return for rght-of-way dedication.
Since sidewalks cannot be constructed land that
is not dedicated for public use appeal made to
the public-spirited citizens of Miami to cooperate
with the RightofWay Division of the Department of
Engineering in granting to the City the required ded
cations of land originally needed for sidewalk i'm
provements.
The success of the Sidewalk Improvement Program
to a great extent rests with the citizens of Miami
Your cooperation and support is solicited.
