Direct From Th.eOftice
By Jacquel
REP0RTS--If one thinks a
principal leads an easy
life, just let him read on I
Take report making. In
this field along Principal
Vfesiver is required to make
a bus report; a report on
all drives; a six-copy
lunchroom report; a statis
tical, a pay roll, u sup
plementary reader, a high
school text, and a finan
cial report; and a report
on absences caused by sick
ness.
MOST AOTSING INCIDENT—As
if his heart would break,
a little boy pleaded with
Mr. 1'Veaver not to let his
mother knew that he -had
been sent to the office as
punishment for playing
around, the section of the
ine Collie
building now under con
struction.
BIG-'tEST problem of THE
MONTH—’’The rising cost of
food makes the problem of"
lunohesoa reil headache,”
states i'r. V^euver.
NEW EQUIPt'iENT—Additional
equipment received this
month for the school con
sists of one new type
writer, one used type
writer, and a new filing
cabinet and adding machine
for the office. (I was
wondering why I'ir. V/eaver
never hesitated to add a
long list of figures for
my column l)
My question is solved 1
Because it is an accepted
belief by educators today
thar visual education re
mains more vividly with a
stud‘^nt than an education
presented only through the
eara, Bailey High School
has purchased five pro
jectors, enabling students
to have the benefit of the
most modern method of
teaching.
