Two special Parent-Teacher gaiherings at the school will comprise the outstanding fea- tures of the program, though one took place this week, when parents visited the classrooms, and the second follows on Thursday, November 17. The purposes of American Education week, observed generally throughout the country, are "to acquaint the public with the actual work of the schools, with their ideals, their achievements, and their needs." The aim is to have every parent visit his child's school at least once dur- ing this week. "The schools," reads an announcement, "aim to benefit the entire life of the child and the whole life of socety by working toward the following cardinal objectives, which provide fi.ting Educa- tion week subjects as follows : Sound health, worthy home member- ship, mastery of the tools, technics, and spirit of learning, faithful citizenship, vocational effectiveness, wise use of leisure, ethical character. Quoting further from. an ment : Urge Deeper Understanding "let the week be a time of deeper un- derstanding on the part of the people of the role education has played, is playing, and must play in the life of our great democracy. That nation is greatest that puts the child first in its thinking, in its statecraft, in its business, in its ideals of conduct. The nation that has the highest regard for childhood will lead all others in health, intelligence, morality, efficiency, and happiness. It will reach the greatest heights of national prosper- ity, both material and spiritual. The race moves forward through its chil- dren." announce- The Education week program. may be briefly outlined as follows: Monday, November 7--Health Day-- Build the program around the fact that sound health is the foundation of in- dividual happiness and community well- being. Tuesday, November 8--Home and School Day--In working out the pro- gram for this day let the central thought be that the home is the most fundamental institution among all civilized peoples. Wednesday, November 9--Know Your School Day--The Ceniral thought of this day's program is the school itself. The schools are the first and biggest en- terprise in nation, state, county, or city. Thursday, November 10--School Op- portunity Day -- Build the program around "opportunity," stressing par- ticularly the opportunity which the school should offer the child; inspire pupils to take advantage of the opportunities be- fore them. Armistice Observance Friday, November 11--Armistice Day --Armistice Day provides the 'opportun- ity for a program of the highest patriotic quality. It marks the day when the thought of the world changed from war duties to the peaceful pursuits of life and to the duties of citizenship. Saturday, November 12--Community Day--The program for this day should emphasize the value of schools in the improvement of community life. The schools should participate in the various activities of the day. Sunday, November 13--For God and Country Day--On this day let ministers of all denomination address their audi- ence on the higher values of education and on the work of teachers and the schools.
