Dear Mr. Hollister : In the last issue of the local paper, we .were very glad to see you call attention of the taxpayers of the Township to failures in work at the High = School, which resulted in waste of the taxpayers' money. = Tht: to~al failures among the boys and g1rls 1s on the basis of about $36 ()()() of ex~e~se per year. The High School authont1es are doing all within their power to remedy this. Do you think it = would be out of place to call the attention of your readers to the fact that the control of these failures can only be secured by cooperation between the homes ~f the township and the school authorities. A study of these failures indicates that by far the greater proportion of them are not due to lack of ability on ~ the part of the pupils or to excessive reqUirements of work by the High School authorities but rather to lack of application on the part of the pupils and to lack of fitness for work, due to outside activities not under control of the school, which detract from attention to school work. Among such activities are th~ "movies" on s~hoo l n,ig:h,ts, radio in the _ home and soc1al . act1v1ttes not authonzed by or superv1sed by the school. A closer cooperation between the homes of the township and the school might well be expected to lead to a reduction of school failures to a minimum. It is unfair to taxpayers and unfair to the membership of the school as a !!5 whole that any pupil in the school should = maintain an attitude of being unwilling = = = to "pull h1s own weight in the boat."
