Instruction Must Meet"l‘fi\le'ed Of Times
By O. L.
I wish to express to the editorial
staff of The Loudoun Times-Mirror
our deep appreciation for the sym-
pathetic understanding and friend-
ly assistance with our school news.
As we open our schools for an-
other session it is our earnest de-
sire that the school wek this year
will be better than ever before.
‘| We want to work hard and effec-
tively, play hard and fairly and do
‘jall things properly and well that
are needful to develop and cause
to grow with the optimum rapidity
‘all the desirable embryonic talents
of the school pupils.
It is the task of the schools to
do for our youth those things that
they most need and that will not
be done some other way. The main
function of the schools is generally
conceded to be the intellectual de-
velopment of our youth.” How-
ever, we must recognize that there
EMERICK, Superintencent Of Schools
is the opportunity for —every
teacher to exert a powerful infiu-
ence on the spiritual and moral
growth of her pupils. The good
teacher does not neglect this op-
portunity. !
Again, we can do much to pro-
tect and improve the health of
school children. There is a def-
inite obligation here. To many of
our children it is more important
to have them given the proper
dental care, in case of neglect,
than to teach them any subject
listed in our school curriculum.
We look forward to a year of
progress and improvement along
all .phases of school activities. I
make this appeal to the parents
that you will keep your children
regularly in school, that you send
them to sc¢hool each morning re-
freshed by a night of rest and
above all when things go wrong
at school we invite you to visit the
teacher to talk about the problem.
You are invited to visit the schools
at any time, too.
The world in which we live is
becoming rapidly more compli-
cated. The task of the schools is
increasing in direct proportion to
these ‘complexities of our existence.
We must-change, improve and ad-
vance in all directions. What we
teach and how we teach and the
conditions of our teaching must
be constantly subjected to the test
of the needs of life itself in our
rapidly changing world. I appeal
to all of our people in Loudoun to
study analytically our school needs
and to be informed of the progress
and developments among our
neighbors in other counties and
states and then be willing that
our own conditions be forfeited
and improved.
