El2s'ClZQ'DU CZGlZZVOZJl7ZiCl'C1ZQ THE HIMROCK ZVOUl QCZVDU UZODU Superintendent? Page SCHOOL School is a very inclusive word as related to human learning. Life is a school, defined I'i0t by legislators, but by the multitude of experiences that are common to the average individual as he progresses toward absolute maturity. For him the period of learning has for its terminals-birth and death. School is a constant, as is also experience. School in the confined sense is an organization wherein during the early years of life may be gained knowledge of facts experienced by others and recorded for the convenience of those coming after. The organized school, now practically free, requiring only a desire for knowledge and the exercise of an ambition to be prepared for life's problems, is a great institution. Taking advantage of the oppor' tunities extended makes for a higher and more advanced civilization. The school of the community in its relationship to society, despite all natural criticism, must contribute new trained persons to society. The present time demands this, even though the contributions be at first seemingly small, yet they must be of such a character as will insure good fruits,-upright and wellfserving men and women in society. In this wise the school has a permanent duty to perform. It needs must be outstanding in that performance, for just as the age-old mountains guard the countryside, so the school must protect society, or as the silvery streams refresh the valleys, so the school needs to wholesomely nourish the social order. May this community's school always stand upright, alert and watchful in its service to society, just as old Chimney Rocks, across the way, in like fashion seem in their constancy to relate themselves to the community.
