A MESSAGE TO PARENTS As we corrte to the close of our pori- 1 dcrin^ on th* great subject of Educa- : tion as stimulated by the program of this week, nationally known as Education Week,' we ought to stop and introspect just a little to see just what the needs, just where our program needs strengthening, just where the school can be made more efficient, just what the responsibility of the home is and how it can cooperate with , the school, and above alH "What can I do to give my boy or girl better educational advantages ?" The two social Histiutions upon which modem democracy rests in a large measure are the home and the school- The home exists that children may grow up ip a holesome environment. School exists to supplement the home in the training of. .children for intelligeritand sympathetic participation in. a more efficient democracy. The framers of our constitution built upon the declaration that "all men are created equal." The world has never seen in any century a more brilliant group of constructive statesmen. They sought to establish equal- , ity of oooortunfty in our laws. They i were educated men, most of them college men, and they well knew there! could be no equal it v of opportunity without quality Of education?! advantages. This most important function1 for creating democracy was not embodied in the .national constitution however but was left to the several | states to solve for themselves. As a result, the various states passed legislation establishing school systems and in most part the local communities were allowed- to set the type of school which they choseDespite this, public education has • grown to big business- More than] 20,000,000 children in the United i States are being taught by more than ] 700.00 teachers at an annual cost of a i billion dollars. No taxes are paid less grudgingly by the great_muss^of_cd^_

cation in life. To be on time at school, to be there every' day. to retire at . night and to arise in the morning at a 1 regular hour, to be prompt at meals, _ and to be able .to quickly turn from • one task to another are fundamental 1 to theme of a youth to better enable J him to get things done in later life , In our emphasis of our "Personal , Rights," our "Personal Liberties," we : as a people have almost lost the mean- 1 ing of the word "obey " Parents of • two generations ago may have been • harsh in discipline, but children then carried out instructions with greater J celerity than they do today. Prompt ] and uncomplaining obedience to auth ority at home and in school are fund- : amenta] to respect for law and the J necessary regulations which must be !

zens than school taxes. No public « enterprise is so close to the hes-ts of .1 the people as the American public < . schools. . - - The common objective of the school f ! and the? home is the welfare of the . children^, Education has to do with i , the development of certain physical J moral and mental habits and attitudes i , that will produce -more efficient '.iving. i ' Until the boy or girl Ls 16 years of < ! age. be is legally under the control of < ; the home or the school at all times>d [ The educative process Ls constantly at i work Formal education, that which 1 is prescribed and carefully outlined, is < , given within the wAlls of the school i l room. Informal edbcation or educa- ( ■ > tion by chance, functions on the street I and in the home to a great extent. i . The home can and should cooperate 1 t with the school in reducbig the chance - - , element in education and by empha-,i . sizing the formation of right habits of j . health and conduct. • Right health habits ihcHide such . „ fundamental things as eating, sleep- 1 1 ing and cleanliness. The child who is J trained to eat wholesome food onl" e and to eat regularly and slowly, will - be properly nourished and will have a - reserve force of physical endurance v will equal any probable emergen- ! . cy. Children in ,the lower grades, e| should sleSp at least ten hours ever,v night and those in the upper grades .. at least nine hours of sleep regular!* ' n I Habits of persona! cleanliness, care of - the face, hands, teeth and the mornnjing bath, should be practiced at home il I until they function in firmly established habits. These simple physical - habits of proper eating, plenty of Is sleep and cleanliness are basic to i- sound physical health and essential to ,f best mental alertness. Too many of our pupils come to school half awake . and often are unable to comprehend a phase of instruction because of j ' drowsiness or dull mental condition n due to dissipation and lack of sleen. a i Such moral principles as promptis ness, obedienCe and honesty are fundi- * amental to success in any worthy vo-

other ways, indicate an appalling lack : of- respect' for law necessary for the J good- Without obedience to • . law at borne and in school from or • children wf cannot expect law .abid- ' Ing citSzehs Later on. There is no blanket virtue termed , "honestv," but rather there are many ideas of honesty. A man who says : "My word is as good as my bond," j may drive a very questionable busi- f ness deal- What the schools hope. to :j cultivate in children is truthfulness in m word and attitude. Willingness to ->face an issue squarely, to be open- J : minded on all questions, to try to see | the other fellows point of view sfnd to ;1 complete a task well when once be- a are types of honesty in which £ children need practical training. ■> ■ Unless the home and the school can a cooperate in the formation of simple 1 - health habits and the moral habits *J : which have been briefly mentioned, no j ■ , amount of book instruction or voca- ■ tional functioning in right conduct are i | fare more important than univers;* 1 i degrees. Fortunately these simple :1 ■ habits are a great aid to scholarship t > ' as well as to success in life. Since 1 - : the child is under the care of the *i 1 school only 5% hours - day which is | i less than 1-4 of the total time in a .1 : child's day, and since the formations J - 1 of habits are a continuous process, the 4 s ! home is in a position to do even more :J ,- 1 than the school in laying the founda t s tion of social morality and civic obli- 1 ' gation. Only as the home wiH assist *, F the school in its efforts to demand the 7 - constant practice of these old-fashion-e ed virtues can we expect the children 4 - of today to become really good citi- ^ .1 zens in the future, * f LESTER A.
