The Door Is Open Anytime
Friends don’t always respond to an indefinite invita-
tion such as ‘‘Come to see us sometime” or "Look us up in
the phone book." Sometimes it takes a special invitation
for a specific time to bring them out.
That's what the schools in Archer County are doing
the week of March 7-11 Those are the dates for Texas
Public Schools Week, and all are welcome to visit the
schools in our county. The usual welcome flag is flown a
little higher at this time.
Tbosewfu^Ju^^^^^eeji thee la,ely will find
changed considerably at school ... if they haven't found
out at the homework table already. But while school—and
our world—is changing, some things remain the same.
Children are just as rambunctious, but smarter. Teach-
ers still care about our children, but they're better trained.
And that incomparable Texas hospitality remains the same.
This unique American system of education is the envy
of the entire world, our homegrown critics to the contrary
notwithstanding And the school is ours. We pay for it.
We attended it. It is the most typically American thing we
have
School! It’s wonderful! Not perfect, just wonderful.
A dream come true for millions of bright-eyed American
youngsters. The door is open any time, but especially
March 7-11.

Angling About
Archer
By Mrs. Jack Robertson
Like all institutions, a school
is a reflection of the people
who build it. A well known
teacher in our county schools,
and later ex-officio superinten-
dent of school and county judge
was the late Harry V. Pearston.
Writing in the Nov. 11, 1929.
issue of the Archer County
News, Judge Pearston told of
28 school districts in the
county at that time.
‘‘The influence of the public
school is too intricately woven
into the lives of our boys and
girls to measure its importance
in knowing terms. You, who
have given so generoulsy of
your time, talents and words of
encouragement have performed
a public service that money can
not pay for. We appreciate your
efforts and trust that the part
we are now doing in the public
education field will not mar nor
detract from the pattern already
fashioned, but that it will sup-
port and adorn the super struc-
ture yet to be built by the gen-
erations that are to follow us.”
In 1929 there were 2543 stu-
dents enrolled in the 28 schools
of the county, with 97 teachers
employed. In the consolidated
schols, the students wefe trans-
ported to school in “closed cars ’.
The tax rate varied from 10c
to 75c on the $100 valuation,
with the average rate of 51c.
The County Board of Educa-
tion was composed of members;
A. Munchrath, Ralph Crowell,
W. R. Pace, Jos. Hemmi and T.
E. Ribblc.
Four of the local boards had
women serving as members.
These were :Mmes. J. R. Parkey
at Mankins, A. E. Evans and
Edd Maag at Huff and D. Cole-
man at Luke Wilson.
Like everyone else, the mod-
ern school teacher faces prob-
lems unheard of forty years ago;
yet the challenge is still as
great. Discipline is still a ser-
ious matter and the teacher
must guide the student to high
moral standards. Some educa-
tors contend that this is the
most important job of a teach-
er, but along with it must come
the building of good work hab-
its to prepare younsters to fill
roles of responsible citizens in
the world of today.

It’s a SNAP when you use

So« your

Dishwashing’s done at the snap of a switch when you
do it the modem electric way. Instead of soaking,
washing, rinsing, and drying dishes by hand, you just
load and start your Electric Dishwasher and you’re
free to tend to other things.
An Electric Dishwasher not only eliminates a tiresome
daily task, it washes your dishes bygienically dean,
using water hotter than hands can stand. It helps keep
your kitchen tidier and your hands lovelier. And
entertaining is much more fun when you’re free from
dirty dish drudgery.
