It large number of will be at the discussion. The panel John A. the panel will Rotsch, Mrs. J. W. Ubben, Robert Ackerman, J. W. Forman, Charles Abendroth, Wallace W. Cool and Woodrow Norris. At the meeting of the Staun- ton Parent-Teacher Association, held Thlusday evening, a cam- paign was started which, it is fondly hoped, will result in the construction of new grade school facilities in the not-too-distant fu- ture. We hope that this cam- paign will gather momentum, and that we will soon see concrete evidence of modern facilities for the education of the children who are now in grade school, and those of future. generations who seem to he coming on in increasing num- bers. That Staimton needs better and more modern facilities to house its most important "busi- ness" has long been apparent. The old grade school building, com- pleted in 1881, and the "newer" additions built in 1907, has certain- ly sewed their purpose. They were no doubt adequate for many years, but, like all other struc- tures, they have become outmod- ed, and modern trends .in educa- tion put them in the class of the horse and buggy era. Our young- sters, and those of the future, are entitled to the best in education- as good as is offered in other cities and villages in this area. 'Ib provide such education, mod- ern buildings should be provided so that nothing will hamper the advancement of the program. Re- cent legislation passed by the state.legislature require the teach- ing of courses which cannot be successfully taught in the old ri which will 'esult. They 2 building of ll require a l-but it will very cent it uildings now ars old, and are almost means that many of the now at- tended the newer portions, and their great grandparents went to school in the old building. It is true, the structures were built well--but time has a habit of un- doing wl ' ' struct. K generatioi What best in now are to they shot to plan school. I In othe realized quate, mc have prov residents good higl grade To us this is the wrong way of thinking. It has always been our firm belief that the elementary school is far more important than any other phase of education, and more particularly the first two or three grades. It is here where the very foundation isilaid, and if this foundation is not solid, the results in the higher grades, in high school and in college, are materially hampered. We have no accurate idea what a new grade school will cost, but we know that splendid structures have been built in recent years at places which are no different from Staunton. We are certain that our people can and will carry the financial load over an extended period of years. We have always said that the citizens, of Staunton and vicinity want the best for their children, and are willing to PTA Meeting Was Held Last Thursday Evening The November meeting of the Staunton Parent-Teacher Associa- tion was held Thursday evening at the South school, with Mrs. John Vesper, Sr., presiding. Assembly singing was led by Mrs. J. Harold Diel, with Mrs. James Coatney as accompanist.

Our school has answered that demand with educational, personal, and vocational guid- ance as a part of the vocational guidance program. Each member of the senior English class is given six weeks work experience in the area in which he feels that he would like to enter after graduation. This successful program has grown each year since it was started in 1953, with the grade school and the hospital acting as "employers". Each year new people have helped this project to grow until we have Picco's Garage, Mr. Bergen's Law Office, Fischer's Insurance, l-luntman's Furniture Store, and Beard's Garage participating. MRS.

By residents i's meant those who have resided in the district at least 30 days, in the county 90 days, and in the state a year. The Star-Times has in the past few issues presented reasons why this new grade school is necessary, and urgently requests all those who are interested in the welfare of the youngsters in the district to vote YES on both propositions. The cost to each person, spread over a 20-year period, is relatively small, considering the importance and necessity of the project. The property owners will pay only 32 cents per S100 of assessed valua- tion per year. By any means of computation, the investment in modern, improved educational fa- cilities for the citizens of the fu- ture will be a sound one. It is certain that the new school' will tend to hold up property values M- ,.

After the proper time had elapsed, the Manufac- turers' Casualty Company, the surety for Central States, was no- tified that they must take over the completion of the contract.
