Show Big Questions Are Discussed By Group (Contributed) Will our boys and girls graduate from high school at the age of 11, and from college at the age of 14? If not, why not? These questions were skillfully handley by Clarence J. Wendel, ejem'entary school principal, in an excellent and informative in-formative talk an "Post War Education" Edu-cation" at Milford P.-T. A. meeting meet-ing Monday, January 22. Viewing the results achieved by the navy and army in education, another question naturally arises: Are we fair in asking why the same results are not achieved iby our public schools ? The same educators edu-cators are teaching in the inavy and army that taught our boys and girls. Therefore, the difference in results obtained is due primarily to equipment and funds that are at the services' disposal. More money has bean spent on education and training in the navy and army service ser-vice since Pearl Harbor than by all of the states west of the Mississippi Mis-sissippi since we have had free education. As Mr. Wlendel pointed out, if we are to have a satisfactory postwar post-war education, the set-up must be changed. There will have to be more funds directed to the schools, better equipment, higher salaries for teachers and a' lighter teaching teach-ing loads. The new by-laws of the local chapter of P.-T. A was read by Mrs. Harold Carlson for approval before being sent in to the state oi ganization. , Miss Lucille Smith played a piano selection, "Romance." V |
