Show SCHOOL DAYS Here we are, again right around to school days, and while the mere mention of it will be distasteful to the younger generation, to those out battling the world for a living it means something. All of us look back with regret at opportunities lost when we were of school age, and all of us try, when the occasion presents itself, to impress on the youth of the country the advantages of getting a good, substantial sub-stantial education while the chance is afforded. We would like once more to urge the citizens and community to see if they can't do a still better job of co-operating with our school officials this season than they have yet done. We know we have good schools, and we deserve credit for it, but none of them are so near perfect that thye connct be improved upon. There is always a chance to put more enthusiasm into the teachers by assuring j them that you are ready and anxious to help out with the school program in any way that may be suggested to you. There is always al-ways time, no matter how busy you may be, to show the scholars that you are interested in their work by stopping in at the school house for a few minutes every now and then and listening to their recitations. There are none of us too busy to help the school trustees with their problems and to back them up in the matter of needed improvement'instead of raising our hands and crying against "more expense." So, with all this in mind, and the new school season at hand, let us resolve to at least try and find some way in which we can make this school year the best this community has ever known. |
