Ll' QPOIO 0l'l GUR GFFICIAL mr. lllright's Editorial One of the most significant items in Ohio History has heen the emphasis on public education. The Ordinance of 1787, over l50 years ago, provided that, Hreligion, morality, and knowledge heing necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever he encouragedf' ldollowing out the spirit of this ordinance, the people of the Tully-Convoy School District have faithfully and generously supported their school. At lirst only the parents with pupils who attended school contributed to the support of schools, hut the idea has always prevailed that schools of any kind are a decided asset to a community. So as early as lti2l the state legislature provided lor townships to levy' taxes on themselves lor school purposes. The Tully'-Conroy' gl'll00l has a broad program of studies. The high school curriculum is well ahove standard. One aim of the administration is to establish the home economics department on a vocational basis, the same as the agriculture department. The home economics department and cafeteria have been remodeled. New equipment and supplies have made it possihle to care for a larger group of students. The school is in need ol additional equipment, especially in the science depart- ment. General science. biology, chemistry. and physics are being offered with good sized classes in all lour ol the sciences. It is planned to install modern equipment in the near future and thus make our science department the equal of the others. l haye enjoyed my' worlx this year at Tully-Convoy' yery' much and appreciate the cooperation of Mr. Shaller, the local school hoard, faculty, and student body in making my lirst year a prolitahle one. +Supt. W. M. Wlright.
