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.
