Your School And Child
BY SUPT. R. W. JOHNSON
in school one ot the largest words
in the language ol any race, our
main job is this—to produce good ci-
tizens; and even though we can not
define a good citizen, we know what
his attributes are. He is productive,
cooperative, progressive, lie is a law
abiding serious mindedf loyal citizen
tout above all he is well informed
about his nations problem* and unre-
mittingly zealous in his ettorts to
aid his nation.
Your child is not trained by the
beauty oi the building in which it
attends school—nor in color of the
books studied, nor by the material
in book itself. The prcsonality
jk ot the child IS AND
ST BE FORMED BY THE
lUiJER AND THE PARENT
iy children in our public schools
.y are being guided through the
it critical periods of their lives by
/Jiers who have not been prepared
to teach; some should never have
been teachers in the first placc, and
have continued to teach as a last re-
sort; and some—those professional
teachers U sc lives have been dedica
ted to f—jteaching profession, and
^'| interest — it is on their
[hat the future of your
~r«ts strongly.
jr eteachers—trained teach-
. recruited by appeal "to the
tervice motive? NO. Other

greater urge; and they of-
ng salary. These other car-
getting the employees who
to t* teachers hut can
y the wage.
Teachers salaries must be raised,,
or the public must, be satisfied with
poorer public school systems, 1 axes
and (or) state aid must be increas-
ed above prewar levels it prewar
type transportation is to continue. It
is up to the people—you the patron
— to decide what you want. Write
your senators and representatives in
Austin and in Washington. Tell
them what you want tor your child.
Talk to your trustees, your county of
ticials, your neighbor. But talk con-
structively. Any one will admit that
our schools arc not what they should
be, perhaps but RUNNING
THEM DOWN WILL NOT
BUILD THEM UP.
You say you don't like your chiids
tcachcr? She is probably earning ac-
tual operating salary of about $70
per ywnth, the year round. Its hard
to be a genius on the "dole" is the
saying from depression days. But
don't pity the teacher. She can quit.
And probably will. Pity your child
who must get a basic, education in
the next few years, or spend a life
without it.
