Week is Observed I'm many cities as time to
giUe bit of credit WheYe credit is due.
There is q great deal right with the public
school system in the United States. There are
many positive features Which are grossly
ignored BY the critics and denOunceYS WhO
usually seek to dis credit the schools.
Never before haze so many pupils from
all uulks of life been sent to public school
system. Never in the annals of any ciUiIz0-
tion has such a great task been undertaken
BY men and WOnaen 1OhO haze devoted their
time and effort to teaching our youth.
The success Of any education system
defends upon the amount of support 1t gets
from the community and the persons who hUe
there. If you haven't uisited school IN your
area lateU-go and see What is being done.
