In November Dr. Edward Krug ofthe University of Wisconsin brought visit- ing educators from Austria, Burma, Colombia, Egypt, Finland, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaya, Mexico, Netherlands , Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal and Venezuela. At a roundtable conference they were especially interested in our community-centered school, the building, the guidance program, the curriculum, the hot-lunch program, the other services to the branch schools and the adult education program. Also in November came Miss Gertrude Lewis of the Office of Education at Washington, D. C. to study our seventh and eighth grade core program. She is a specialist in elementary education and was gathering information for her office. She spent two days in Wisconsin, the other day being spent at Roths- child. She was accompanied by Mr. Peterson, Elementary Supervisor in the State Department of Public Instruction at Madison. The Winneconne Community Schools appreciate these honors of recognition and hope, in our small way, we, this year, have been able to help advance the cause of democratic living throughout the worldg and the cause of free public education in America, the handmaiden of our democracy. 43
