Education Week Nov. 8-13
The local chapter of SNEA and
interested citizens across the na
tion are observing November B-13
as American Education Week. This
year marks the forty-third such
event which was begun in 1921 by
the National Education Association
and the American Legion. The pur
pose of this observance is to in
form the general citizenry about
the public school program and the
important issues in education. Dur
ing this week the public is invited
to visit the schools, meet the teach
er.®, and see firsthand what is hap
pening.
This year the theme of American
Education Week is: “Education
Pays Dividends.” These dividends
are manifested in different areas:
Human Relations, Earning Power,
Personal Fulfillment, Good Citizen
ship, National Economic Growth,
Better Communities, and Interna
tional Relations. Each day during
the week, one of these areas is
emphasized.
It is hoped that by making Ameri
cans aware of the successes and
failures of the present program,
they will be encouraged to take ac
tive parts in improving the nation’s
educational opportunities.
As teachers of tomorrow, the
members of SNEA have a great
personal responsibility toward meet
ing the educational needs of Ameri
ca’s youth. However, not educators
alone, but all Americans should feel
this responsibility.
The next meeting of SNEA will
be November 19, at 4 o’clock in
the Music Building. Pictures for the
annual will be taken at this time.
Dress will be heels for ladies, and
suits for men. AU members are
