Each of the articles was written by an educational leader in this county. They are entitled "Development of "Worthy Family Ltfe." "Health For Tomorrow's Citizen" and "Better Selection of Better Teachers." Family Life In our democratic society we believe firmly that the home Is the fortress of freedom. Neither time nor wars can alter the values that make family life important. As the good tree brings forth good fruit, so the happy, well-adjusted home can and does give us happy, welladjusted citizens. So too, the unhappy, ill-adjusted home can and does give us self-centered, insecure Individuals in whom are lacking the personnel qualities required for living in a free society. .. And how could this be otherwise? m the first place, the family Is every child's first teacber. jit is in his life at home that the 'child forms his first conception of life in the world. Psychologists and psychiatrists are wearily aware of the endless chain of action in sports activities where they will develop sportsmanship and teamwork, and will experience the enjoyment of competition and fellowship of Others. Every school can set op a program for the noon hour whereby the child can get a well 'balanced hot lunch for a minimum charge. If the school adopts the state program, enough aid is given so that an excellent plate lunch can be served to the child at a low cost. Surplus products can thus-be used and not wasted. In addition to the regular classroom safety instruction a school boy safety patrol under the guidance of a member of the teacher staff will go far toward practicing the lessons learned. Excellent assistance, advice, and materials are distributed by the Chicago Motor Club, whose rule* outline the duties of the patrol' boy which make him conscious of his own safety as as that of the children who must cross busy streets at his corner. Almost 100 per cent of the children fo the public schools own or ride bicycles^ and the hazard they form Is familiar to every automobile driver. Let the patrol jr: .. 0. Can you 7. Are you 8.

It I been pointed out that the child who lis well loved has enough love left over to give to others. Conversely, 'the child who Is himself Rented {love has nothing to 'share with others. I The family, too, is truly the 'cradle of democracy. A child who ' spends most of his life in the i midst of a democratic family has [the best chance of growing up without bias or prejudice, to ward othei ' groups. More, he will resent these .things and strive against them. I Again, the family is the most po- | tent force we have for building .high moral standings and a sense of spiritual security. If parents ! realize the potential strength of the home and would do all within their power to help children make the most of their capacities -- moral and spiritual as well as physical and Intellectual--we could actually rear a race of moral giants. Health The health of today's child will determine the well-being, endurance and happiness of tomorrow's citizen. Today, when the activities equipment is necessary to his safety. He is encouraged to equip his bike for night riding safety, and he learns what the law requires -of him. Incidentally, the children conducting the inspection learn much from the experience, especially if the inspection is conducted by a joint group of city police officers, men of the community and school children." Posters and hall bulletin boards, displays arranged by groups of children or rooms in a building make children safety conscious. They are always interested in work they do themselves. Many schools call upon persons engaged lr. safety work to talk at school assemblies. The fire chief and the traffic officer. In their uniforms, make a strong impression in putting over safety practices associated with their work.' More attention is being glVen to the handicapped, child, with much encouragement from the state department of public instruction. Shortage of teachers and facilities hampers a complete program at the present time.

He must learn how to deal with others in his world and get .along acceptably with them. And In a world "bn wheels." he must learn how to live safely. And how can he do all this in ly democratic? No, there is no greater job in all the world at thia moment that the job of the teacher, but did you know that there are not more than 75,000 students all over the nation pre> paring to be teachers at the present ftme. Most of these are preparing1 for high school and college teaching, and yet competent authorities estimate that next year we ahall need at least 150,000 more teachers than we have now. The shortage Repeated medical examinations, given when the child enters school and every four years thereafter, will bring to light defects and Weaknesses.

For example, it would be absolutely wrong to use a lacquer thinner to house paint, or turpentine as s thinner in lacquer. If there is any doubt as to what to use, sound advice can be obtained from a paint dealer. ^Opportunity Knocks A ambitious young man asked a great merchant to reveal the secret of his success.

(3) What are the opportunities? - What Dees it Offer! A desire to serve society Is the main motive that leads many into the profession: There is great satisfaction In knowing that one to contributing to a better world. Reward Is real when the teacher sees a child make good because of the inspiration and encouragement afforded him by that teacher. Too, there are wider intellectual contacta which t h e profession opens up--contacts with groat .minds, with great souls, and with set j new fields-of learning. The kind of people In the profession are Interesting and stimulating to work with.

The third year contract is a continuing contract which means the teacher is retained as long as her work Is efficient and behavior acceptable.
