executive governor george 11 II dern in hs address the governor discuss a 0 ed the a slogan A square deal for every child in a froda he manner and from an angle which Is not altogether what might have been expected on such an occasion t lack aek ol of space forbids the publication of all the governors governor a excellent speech but some of the highlights are herewith quoted your association has tor for it its blo ean can A square deal tor for every child does this mesa mean that you are humble about your work that you are no satisfied with ith what you are doing ind and that you are determined to do better or does it mean that you are complacent about your part of the job but think somebody else Is derelict and that you propose to bring him up ko to the scratch it makes 9 a world of difference whether such a motto is applied introspectively ively or with an inclination to find fault with others la in education what is a square deal tor for every child even so excellent a motto as this may lead us tar far afeld it it Is not carefully analyzed at the start 1 I apprehend that some of you might interpret a square deal tor for every child to mean a high school education tor for every offid kolhei E might insist that every child have a college education still others othera more given to generalizations might hold that every child shoula have an equal educational opportunity with every other child and I 1 suppose that is what your excellent excelle nl slogan is actually intended to mean As such it opens the way for or a dis cession ot of taxation and any gumbei ot of other practical subjects I 1 hii allow ow myself the liberty of referd peterr ing very briefly to only a few mcw of the manifold ramifications of your se motto and possibly some ol 01 the things illings I 1 shall say will invite introspection to begin witha with a square deal to every child demands that eer child shall have competent teach ers erg the state is not treating it children fairly it it ft do does es not leli tingly impose the highest ical standards tor for the certification ot of teachers the members ot of you association should appreciate the in ot of this requirement bette than anyone else and even at risk ot of being accused ot of trying t tt torm form an air tight union you toward ur influence exert YO your good teacher the boy every child a and girls of garfield

poor policy in a small community to employ a home own teacher certainly it is not a square deal to the children Y it the school board hires an interior inferior teacher because she bhe will work tor for less ban it would cost to get a first lass aass teacher with capable teachers there will a less lees danger that the children aill ill not nit receive sound instruction n the fundamentals it may be a at it old fashioned to talk about the ahree Rs but nobody has yet anven ed a system that makes them non in my business I 1 have everal times employed young ste og raphers from the high schools ni
