^ NEED OF THE CHILD TODAY
<$> 'V
^ ^
By J. E. S&earingcn
The program of the American Legion
and the National Education association
in celebrating Education
week is eminently patriotic and progressive.
The call of the flag in IP!7
was not more important than, ihe
need of the child in 1922. The young
men of the country were ready and
glad to serve. Unfortunately, many
of them were tied hand and foot by
physical defects or by educational deficiencies.
This was seen and felt no;
onlv among illiterates, but in the
ranks of skilled workers tnenise-ves.
The home and the school house are
the '-'rthplace and the citadel of intelligence.
The returned soldier has '
come back from France bringing a
new conception and a new outlook. :
j
He is striving to pass these on to the
young people who are training f.>v

Within the last twelve years Silver
strce: has made wonderful progress
; towa: educating its children. Until
. li.cn hundred twelve we had no
' school jjuilding in Silverstreet. We
h:id only one teacher and the trustees
hid to rent a building wherever one
ct uld be found. This caused the people
to see the need of a better school
in Siiverstreet, and as a result the
?:lvr. ti c-Cc school building was erect.
i.r.ti two teachers employed. This
\v:n the beginning of a better school
Silverstreet, snd three years iater
