Spring Cleaning! - Spring is finally showing signs of getting here. The snow is mostly gone and the muddy fpotprints are ftitich in evidence in every house! 'r Some folks have discovered qrocuses, hyacinths, daffodils and tulips starting to poke trough the soil. The buds on lilsQp and other early springflowering bushes are swollen-- getting ready to burst into flower with the help of a few nice warm days. ( . All these sigjfe ihake us feel good, even though the weather itself stays cold and damp. One thing the "melting snow has revealed is a kind of mystery. Where and how did all the debris get ir* the yard??? Thwfe are boards, bottles, assorted papers, odd socks, scarves, mittens (none matching), toys, cans, and actually just about anything you can name can be found emerging from the snow banks. 'Looks like as soon as the ground is a little firmer we will all have quite a job picking up our yards and getting rid^f all the junk. ,{wrai, spring is the, clean-up season, and you can sure tell why. Everything needs to be tijiied and brightened up after the dreary, dirty winter. ;'So, fellas -- get out your shovels, rakes, brooms and paint brushes and let's see you Jive your winter-soft muscles «• workout getting thfc old hpmestead all spic and span fgypring. 1S0E know without any urging tfie; little woman will get bitten by the house-cleaning bug any day now--and then watch the dust fly!

It is the hope t of each teacher to present hoi only the many good qualities in Johnny but also to find a workable solution for the .unfavorable ones. ^ 1,. __ In a sense, this get-together is a means of stimulating cooperation and understanding between teacher, patents and child. We are "swaping notes" as to his mental ant)'emotional behavior at home, and at school.

Three new members were welcomed into the bethel at this time. They were Hanna Mae Morris, Phyllis Smith and Nancy Lokay. Welcome, girls, I hope your journey through the years will be happy and enjoyable ones. Congratulations are due the officers for their wonderful work. Joan, you did a swell job.

The next meeting of Job's Daughters will be held March 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the temple on Court street., This is the first Of a series of reports which will endeavor to keep you informed or activities of Edgebrook and the Junior high school. These reports will inform you on the activities in various classes from the first through the eighth grade. Education Is a topic discussed and read about by practically everyone these days. What about the education of McHenry's children? After reading these reports each we6k, you should have a better understanding of what teachers and children do five, days a week over on Park avenue and Green street. Remember that the schools are for the benefit of the children in this community. The school personnel is tfying to develop each child into a wellrounded individual, to equip In any spare time you may have, why not visit the schools and sit in on a class or two, discuss with the teacher the aim of the lesson or the class? Since you are only a visitor, they won't assign you homework, so don't let that stop you. The teacher, first, must prepare himself in order to meet thirty smiling youngsters each morning. With the acute shortage of teachers, McHienry is fortunate in employing teachers who have a qualified Illinois certificate. Besides this, many teachers, to improve their teaching techniques, to gain further knowledge in a specific Subject, to work for a higher degree, attend summer school or night school. In this way, they are not only enriching themselves but contributing to greater • teaching ability which your child enjoys. Evefy school board encourages faculty members to continue to increase their professional standard while on the job. Teachers in the Junior high school who became students in the evening are Miss Soghigan and Mr. Armstrong. Miss Soghigan teachers physical education and Mr. Armstrong teaches social studies. --Mtss--Kinney, - science teach er, took a course in science from the National College Extension at Crystal Lake.
