Show "EDUCATION WEEK" ; The National Education Association, made up of school teach- ers from all sections of the country, is-calling upon the people to;, join in observing the week of Nov. 1 8 to 24 as "Education Week."' Every community is requested to carry out a program during thej' entire week, beginning with Sunday, when ministers are called on' toj. preach on the subject: "For God and Country." Monday would ' be "Constitution Day," when the pupils would devote some time to , studying the constitution of the country. Tuesday would be "Patriotism "Pa-triotism Day," with a patriotic speech by a fellow-townsman and patriotic recitations by the pupils. Wednesday would be "Teacher's "Teach-er's Day," when the teacher could give some helpful talks about school work. Thursday would be "Community Day," when everyone every-one in th neighborhood gathered at the school house nearest them, and held a sort of neighborhood rally. Friday would be "Physical Education Day," with a program of sports, athletic games, etc. There is no reason why the schools here cannot join in observing observ-ing "Education Week." It would be a fine chance for our citizens to take a few hours off and visit the schools and show their interest in the educational system they are making possible by their tax money. It would be a good way to encourage the pupils, too. j All that is needed is to show the teachers and pupils cf this com- ! munity that you are willing to co-operate in such a program, and it , will go over big here, just as it promises to be a big thing in thousands of oter school districts throughout the land.
