pos2-that of providing a communi.
I ty Of effort TO see that every child
in our county receives the educa-
tional opportunities to which he OF
she is entitled.
If the education of our youth was
of concern to thinking Americans
in 1921. il is of far greater concern
to thinking Americans today. Since
1921 pOnderouS changes have come
about in the American way of life
every ore demanding a higher
level of education on the part OF
the individual if he is to survive
the competition surrounding him.
Today the Space Age" in educa-
tier is here. Startling changes that
will revolutioriZe our present way
OF living in nearly ali of its aspects
are lurking just around the corner.
Schools must work hard to move
forward with the demands of
Space Age" education. No other
kind will serve the needs of the
generation of children now in our
schools. The help and understanding
of parents and friends of education
will be needed if Garrett County
is to provide the program of
space Age" education this genera
ton of children so desperately
needs.
The week of November is
American Education Week. 1t is
also Garrett County Education
Week. Take time out and visit your
schools. You will be rewarded for
your time and interest in doing so.
