Education Week
In County Nov. 11-17
“Education Meets the Challenge of Change” has been selected to serve as general theme for the 42nd annual American Education Week to be observed in Rappahannock County November 11-17.
The basic purpose of American Education Week is to make every American aware of the important role education plays in a democracy, and to help him realize that good schools and colleges are, to a very large degree, his personal responsibility.
Every November, the week which includes Veterans Day is set aside as American Education Week by four national sponsors - the National Education Association, American Legion, National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and U.S. Office of Education.
American Education Week grew out of the revelation during World War I that an alarming proportion of the American people were illiterate and physically unfit. NEA and the newly formed American Legion inaugurated AEW as part of their plan for attaining a program of education adequate to American needs for the twentieth century.
The U. S. Office of Education became an AEW sponsor in 1922, and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers in 1938.
In Rappahannock, the AEW observance will be an attempt to bring the public to the schools, and to bring the schools to the public.
