Your Child An
By Miss Li
So often in the past all of us
have been concerned with finding
and correcting our faults in school
work that we seldom check to see
what is good. What It right with
our public schools?
Occasionally, it is a good thing

to assess the present strengths of.
our democratic institutions, not
with smugness, but with a justifi-j
able pride in achievement.
Criticism of our public schools'
raises its voice easily: high school j

quency is the result of the failure
of our public schools.
More thoughful critics sometimes
say: Cities have slum schools
in buildings and equipment. The
school doesn't do enough for the
gifted pupil. - The high school may'
crystalize the social satisfaction'
existing among its students when
they enter school. '
These criticisms should be and i
are studied carefully by school ?
people. However, in all fairness,
we must not overlook the great
strengths of the public schools.
The following facts on the credit J

spirit of Denis Brogan in his book, 1

The public school is the greatest
agency for citizenship we now
have. In most communities, the
public high school is the only place
where all the children o f
all the people participate in common
activities. The school is doing
much more than instructing
these youth. It is letting them
instruct one another in how to
live. The public school is the most
potent weapon that we have forged
for developing the social habits
and attitudes that make up good
citizenship.
The public schools contribute to
the moral and spiritual growth of
youth. Our public schools have
always held worthy character as
one of their principal aims. They
leave to the home and the church <
certain phases of religious educa<*
tion, specific creed or doctrine,
and ample time in which to do it.
But they work for moral and spiritual
values "inextricable associated

Through such procedures as
cooperative planning, community
participation, student government,
camping, and other recreational
activities, and the use of stories
and biographies illustrating high
ethical values, the modern public
school takes its place as one of
the great forces in developing
character in a democracy.
The public schools have given
the people of this country a very
high literary rate. The record is
still not good enough, but it is

for our steady advance of literary

readers of each copy. Book sales
have declined in the last two or
three years but still run ahead of
even a decade ago.
Research suggests that the average
reading level ol adults in
this country has risen appreciably I
in the last 30 years. Once again,
the credit lor this rise in general
reading ability must go to the public
schools. And because people
can read better things they are
beginning to do so. Who is responsible
for this growth of the
public schools? Every man, woman,
and child who has contributed
in any way to the growth, development,
and appreciation of
our public education of all the
people. With all of its faults it is
doing a great work and with the
help of the citizens of our country
we can and will make our good
schools better.
