F 2 if fl 2 Your school board must consider in all its actions: first, what is best for the pupils and the school, then what it will cost. The consolidation of our schools, transportation of pupils, pur- chasing of books and supplies, repair of old buildings and the erection of new ones, must all be considered in propor- tion to their value to the student and the money available for carrying on the program. You may help carry on this program by your care of school property, your use of the instruction furnished you, your participation in all school activities, and your sportsmanship. I shall name four ways leading to an education: to study and read, to be told, to see, and to hear. Your books and supplies are furnished you by the school board. The teacher is there to ex- plain difficulties and direct you in your studies. To be educated through seeing, one must observe the things nature has given and man has supplied.

The radio is an advantage. The daily swing of current events, changes made on the political map, wars. floods, and subjects of common interest can be heard from all parts of the world by means of the radio. Such news is brought to us from the front line trenches by trained com- mentators. The new modern two-way radio is a part of the equipment in your school and is a forward step in education. It can be used in a number of ways, to carry on conversation between the office and class rooms, to send radio programs out to the rooms, and for use of phonograph records in the class room. A public ad- dress system is connected with this system, which can be used for stage programs or announcements at events. The radio has become one of the most valuable parts of school equipment used in aiding the student in the four ways leading to an education. T H FI F O R 'I' B N I N E O -1 Ar
