OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE—PEOPLE STOCKHOLDERS Should Know Details Of The Business By Practical Experience Should See The Plant In Operation And Demand Results Commensurate W ith Expenditure—Merelj To Invite Public Into School Buildings Not Enough. By Mrs. A. H. Reaver, Pres.dent Nationul Congress of Parents and Tenohers. What do you know about your child’s school? How is your child’ home cooperate^: with it? Does your child have trained parents as well as trained teachers? If the home cun r.r.awer these thro* questions it will bo taking its due part in Education week. Wo can hove no ther interest in nor n fair opinion of that of which wo . are totally ignorant. The great iua-1 jority of people to-day know noUiiiif. ! whatever about the schools in which , their .money in invested and to which . their child;-ui are .-.cut to secure r.r • education. Many parents do not know j the name of the school their children | attend or of. the" teachers in whose j cure they spend five hours of five j clays a week and whose influence up- • •>n their 1.x cr will never be effaced. They do not knew whether the school plant in iyaod or bed; the eqiupmont modern or antiquated; the instructors taxable or Inefficient. Having no knowledge, tliey lack appreciation of the professional skill of the teacher} rover having seen u class in opera tion, they have not realized the trc meudiour advances made in recent years in methods and subject matter. Unaware of the demands made hy thi:, enlarged curriculum anil by the over-crowded classes resulting from our rapidly increasing population and the 'liability of the educational sup ply to meet them, they oontent tliem so.lvct with carrying on more or less efficiently that part of education ly ing within the physical limit ; of the home, and they leave to the system Of public instruction of which Amer ica is so justly proud the task of ad ministering the taxes they pay and of improving both the schools and the children who are sent to them. Perhnpr, the greatest of the func tions of Education Week is the dem onstration of the schools to the poo-1 pie, by drawing into them the cit: mis of every community, whether small or largo*, setting before them the processes of modern education, the equipment required to attain and maintain the highest decree of effi ciency, and the justice of giving to every child, whether in city or coun try, coined educational advantages. But merely to invite the public into the school building is not enoug.i there are those who will see and not perceive; who will hear and will not underntand. In every school ip the land the re should be held in Educa iion Week a mass meeting at which should be prj»t tiddly set forth the value . of education; its effect uponj the wage-earning capacity of young' men and women; the possibilities of fered by vocational training; the ad vantages of part-time schools. The representatives of the home and of the community should be informed in clear, nontechnical terms us to the j qualifications of teachers aid tile im portance of providing for them the j best pcs ibie training; the recogni tion of ability and the payment of ad equate salaries; the provision- of suit able tools for their work and of prop er conditions in which to live and labor. The public school is a business part nership in which the people are stock holders. They should know the de tails of that business in terms of practical experience, its application 16 the living conditions of every trade profession. Then these.ktockhoid ers should see the.r plant in opera tion, demonstrating' not results but processes, so that they may recognise the skill and effort which-go to the production of the finished article, and they should have opportunity to ask questions and receive intelligent and intelligible answers in regard to this great investment of millions of their money. Teach the community about its schools; how much it costs to run it, and how much better it might be made by increased 'expenditure. Wake ;iip community .pride end set it to 'work. ' Teach the homo what the school needs from it in loyal support, in friendly understanding, in healthy, weil-tinincti scholars. Wake up par ent pride and set it to work. Learn from the community what it wants the school to give its’children; •how the curriculum may be hurnani md anti vitalized until education be comes p commodity worth any price .bpcauie of its vital and fundamental value in the life of the home. A* better publ c spirit, a higher social order, will result when we see completed the great Amcreian tri angle: THE HOME—THE SCHOOL —THE COMMUNITY. TRY STAR WANT ADS. Ike’s Brother-In Law, Tells A Tale Deal* St-.:i* readers I will pen a lew lines .md express myself in regard to £ui, the most beloved wife of Ike. May be i knew Pal as most of you do not. I kr. ;\v you all saw in the Cleveland Star dated October 10. 1025 where 1 <c went . o far us to say that Sal, that »-r,at devoted wife of his, had spent all hi:-, substance in riotous living. Now as 1 have said before, I know Sal most of you do not. A few of you know that Ike and I married sis t;us and at this critical time I feel like it is my duty to come and stand by the side of my wife’s oldest sister sal. Now Pa! tells me that Ike does not treat her'as a husband should treat his corn pan on. Just a few words in regard to that hiker business. Sal tells me that Ike and some other fellow gets up early in the morning and goes up to that still place ar.d stays all day. conies home at night, calls up old Nero and goes out to get some fresh meat and stays out until everybody else has gore to bed and is asleep. He then gets up in the morning before anybody else gets up and goes back to that still place in the woods. Now you see good and Well that Sal is not getting justice She has all the fire wood and stove wood to cut, ail the cows to water, milk and food and all the honses to water and feed, all the hogs to feed and the spring to go to, dishes to wash and all those 0 children to put to bod and nobody to help her. Now you .ail can see good and well that Sal is not getting justice. The other day some of them fellows from Shelby, N. (’. that wears those big caps and brass buttons or: their pants went up to Casar and decided to pay Ike a visit and in their conversation ike was asked the question, if he ever traded any of that 1'teker stuff and Ire answered no and his excuse was that they couldn’t make enough for their own consumption. I will relate a little incident in Ike’s and Sal’s life back in the summer one day when it was sure enough hot Ike was out in the wheat field sling ing the blade with all his might and ir. his round he come across a bunch of bushes. As he got near to the bushes something struck him on the ankle. He threw his blade westward and ran homeward, shouting at the top of his voice to Sal to bring that jug of life water and Sal like all other good wives would have done, brought the jug and Ike took on sev eral good full doses. Then Sal asked him what the trouble was and he said that he had been bitten by one of those awful monsters of a reptil" and as Ike grew worse he decided that (he) was soon going to have to cross the great beyond. S„ he d, oidcd to make a will and di.sp0S{. Y liis property. ,lf He first'willed his devoted Sal one of those Casar Brothers hut h" does not make his name public fr* reasons not mentioned. Next, he win*" “•‘I his fcithful old dog and ilis Other belongings to his loyal friends anr neighbors. But before he starts 0Yli journey he decides that lie wants’th e old snake killed so he telegrams’f! Captain McSwain and his comply Z soldiers to come and br;ng their ,rJ ling guns and butcher knives so thY (•r.mo on the next train and marched to the wheat field and found a around the bush that sheltered the awful monster. With every man, .,ur in hand and finger on trigger YieV kept easing up lest they should rage the deadly snake and the w[,0i(, company he swept out of existence When they got close enough t0 the monster, what did they find? of his neighbors old ducks had stolen her nest in the wheat field and Wa, setting and when Ike got so rear her striking with his blade ghe struY him on the ankle with her bill. j\j„.A iko- has got a case in the Casiir Su preme court trying to redeem hV property. ‘ —BILL Summer girls who have been tan ning their hide will now spend iY;, time trying to hide their tan.
