Everyone parents and children are
Invited to be present and enjoy the
day. It Is a legal holiday and people
wont want to work, but Btop and give
the school, a boost Our schools are
doing spqlendld work and w"6waut to
keep it up. Some people ask the
question what is the matter with our
Bchools? They -don't get along as they
should. Too much play and not enough
Btudy and not sufficient concentra-
tion of mind on their school work and
10 mucn on ine eporis ana amuse-
ments of the day. It Is said during
the war that 25 per cent of the men
examined m the draft could not read
and write. This shook our faith In
the little red schoolhouse that we used
to brag so much about Teachers get
good pay and fine school houses to
teach in with plenty of equipment to
aid them In their work. What is the
matter? Has the home government
ceased to function and the schools
loosened upon diclplln and are runn-
Ins to seed on" amusement and pleas-
lire Now this does not aDDlv to all
tlio schools but the tendency Is sett-
r.g itiong that way. What i tl.4
irttierT Are tn m-w methods of
teaching not as good as the old? Do
the teachers put on too many frills
and not enough good hard work? The
old fashioned methoda and dlciplin
seem to have been discarded and the
new methbds don't seem to get the
pupils anywhere. What is the mat-'
ter with our schools? The people are
complaining of high tarts and the
alr Is full of criticism about our pub
lic' school. If we succeed in our
school work
we must
get down to
I

the needless foolishness.
