BOARD OF EDUCATION SOLVEE INTRICATE PROBLEMS Pnovmas PLAN Fon EXTENSIVE BUILDING PRoGRAn It has been so planned and designated that laymen fron all walks of life, regardless of sect, color or creed may havi a part, and a vital part in this vast endeavor called Education To better manage and give an opportunity for the manj to voice their views and opinions upon paramount subject and issues a Board of Education has been chosen by virtui of popular vote, comprising in number five, who are dulj clothed with the robes of authority to institute and put ii force those measures that are essential in providing for futur- generations that heritage of knowledge that will continue t4 place our schools first of all the land. ln order that you may place more confidence in these mei and know that they have sufficient qualifications to serve ir this capacity we have given a brief sketch of their training and activities that you may not only appreciate them as you. business or professional friends but know that the destiny o your child's education is in competent hands. Men such as these steeped in years of professional training and practice and versed in the technique of business adminis tration, having served you in time of joy, grief, pain, ant sorrow certainly are endowed with the human grace necessary to provide most economically a well rounded education foi your child, that will fit him to take his place in society. These men because of experience and training are not un aquainted with facing all kinds of problems as they come ut in life, and with expert skill, and cool logical reasoning are able to bring calm out of chaos. They must spend a grea' deal of extra time and energy conning over future policies a: well as enacting present day measures that are so often needec in emergencies. Many folks are reticent to plan much for the future ant when levies are to be voted upon turn a dull ear to entreatie: saying, look what we have now. Perhaps much money is speni on the schools, but whenever a Community rejects such issue: you will find in due time that the schools will be unable tc compete successfully with their more fortunate neighbors anc the Board, School Officials, Teachers, and Students will be condemned for not producing results favorable for competi tion. Today we are facing this very problem in the fact thai our Gymnasium, Auditorium Stage, and Grade School are al makefshift in comparison with more fortunate communitie: and we accept the criticism of the hosts knowing that if a fevs years ago, our levy had been passed we too could have taker our place at the head of the list. Friends of future education, you have a part, a vital part ii' this scheme of learning and our only plea is that you may grant us the privilege of growth rather than decay, as yol weigh and consider the issues when presented, and trust all to that Group of Men whom you have chosen, to confidently and unflinchingly provide for Montpelier that which is best Page 8

Hobbies: Horticulture, Economics and Bus' mess FUTURISMS During the year 1938 we are celebratf ing the advent of the first settlers into the old Northwest Territory, of which Ohio is a part. Those brave pioneers might have remained in New England and gone along from day to day in the comparative security of established set' tlements. However today we owe our own great state of Ohio to the vision of those early New Englanders and many others of like caliber who could look beyond the smug complacency of established existence to see the vision of the future. For humanity sweeps one ward and he who would secure future satisfaction must see beyond present ease. So it is with individuals and organif zations of the present as well as with those of the past. Likewise the organif zation in which we are most interested, the school, cannot rest upon the oars of past accomplishments but must also look forward to the future, if it is not to stagnate and ultimately lose sight of its basic purpose, that of preparing boys and girls and young men and women for life. In order not to make necessary too great a break from the essential and established past this program of progress must be planned far into the future and be realized gradually from year to year. Otherwise the surf rounding forces of progress will necesf sitate more radical changes at a future date in order to compensate for past neglect. In considering the foundation stones upon which the schools of the future will be built, one of the first consideraf tions is that of curriculum. We have progressed immeasurably since the days of the classical and college prepare atory courses. The average school of Page 10
