The greater part of the cost of this extension has been paid Fedfrom current revenues, including 23 amount of per eral Grants to the cent of the cost of new buildings and vided remodeling. Beautification of Grounds For a long time there has been the feeling that school houses and grounds should be places of beauty of which the local communities could be proud. Because of the interest and assistance of local people, this feeling has been translated into a reality in a great jnany places in the district. Frequently local P. T. A. organizations have furnished the labor and the Board of Education has furnished the necessary materials to transform dreary, uninteresting grounds into attractive lawns and gardens. The Federal Works Progress Administration has also been a substantial factor in this activity. Transportation Among the pioneers in pupil transportation, the district has developed its facilities until it now carries to and from school daily one out of every three pupils. The district is served by 36 busses of various sizes, all of which conform to the school bus standards set up by the state. The annual mileage traveled by these busses is the equivalent of what one bus would travel in going around the earth at the equator seven times. The record for safety driving set by the operators in this district is commendable. Busses operate over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather, yet not a single child has been injured in a school bus in going to or coming from school during the past ten years. Cooperation With Parents Until recently there has been very little contact between the homes and the schools. Pupil's grades have been sent out to parents on schedule and that frequently has been the only contact between teachers and parents. Under the parent-teachconference method of making reports, now being employed in the elementary schools in this district, the parent and teacher sit down together to discuss the child's problems and progress. Thru this method the teacher and the parent are helped to understand better what each may contribute to the child's success and progress both in the school and in the home.
