Flint Hill P.-T.A To Hold
Discussion Meeting Jan. 9
The Flint Hill P.-T.A. urges all patrons and friends of the school to be present at a meeting at the Flint Hill school January 9 at 7:30 p.m. At this time every person present will have an opportunity to discuss those things which he considers wrong in our school system, and the meeting is for the purpose of recommending measures to remedy these conditions.
The General Assembly has created a commission to study the foundation program of the public schools, and this commission is asking interested groups all over the state to consider the following questions, and make a report on them.
1. What courses are most important for the public schools to teach?
2. What are the objectives of the public schools? That is, should schools attempt to educate the children for all possible conditions they may encounter in life, or should the schools offer thorough training in basic courses, on which the pupil may continue his education?
8. What are the respective responsibilities of the home and school? That is, is it the responsibility of the home or school to teach courtesy, living with one’s fellow citizen, and other matters which historically are the responsibility of the home?
The Flint Hill P.-T.A. feels that at long last the average citizen is being given an opportunity to express his views on the trend of modem education, and feels that no serious-minded school patron will allow this opportunity to pass without having a voice in the discussion made, and the recommendations sent to the As.wm.
