COMMUNITY IS PROUD OF ITS NEW SCHOOL
We were agreeably surprised last Friday evening to
find a good-sized crowd of townspeople waiting outside
the new addition to the public school for the opening
ceremonies. The weather was urn particularly inviting.
and it was therefore an indication that the people of Wing-
ham are sincerely interested in matters of ednzation. The
fact that they should be so has little to do with the matter,
for the saute rule canill. but does not apply to all civic
matters.
More than -1-i.10 guests registered in the new building
that evening and it was eneonseaging to note the interest
with N.Vhich. every detail of the addition was examined.
Perhaps, at long last. parents are aware of the tremend-
ously important place our school system occupies in a
fast-changing society.
The addition to the school has cost a lot of money—
$11:,00a Not too many years ago we would have believ-
ed the board insane and the town on the verge of financial
collapse after completing such a project. But that Money
has not been spent foolishly. Apparently ell the taxpay-
ers are definite in their opinions that without good schools
all other civic, improvements are a waste of time.
Perhaps -i'-‘e already have enough organizations in this
town, but to our way of thinking there is one that is still
needed . . a Home and School Club. In a group of this
kind the enthusiastic interest which was so evident at the
school opening could be harnessed into the most fruitful
sort of activity. A parent-teacher club of this sort should
provide the perfeet vehicle for obtaining the maximum
usefulness of every education dollar. In the clab
teachers :C4Ii:d to parents the reasons for new
moves in scnon. activities: could easily get increased
co-operation through better derstanding. The parents
could, a: the same time. air the Problems which crop up
at home an thereby enable the teachers to ha -
understandi they are con-
cerned.
T here is neestion about the influence of both home
and school - the traeing of our yeeengstees. It is gen-
erally believed that they share about equally in their in-
fluence over the child. Then why should these TWO vital
influences not be working together to co-operate in the
rearing of ever finer citizens.
Many other communities have found the Home and
School Club to the final an.2 vita/ link necessary for
the best of results in education. Is there any reason why
we should nnt have the eame exnenence in A
