School and Community                                                - - - As Printed in  1951      1951   EDUCATION is a wide responsibility which neither begins nor ends with the schools.  Youngsters are learning every hour they are awake - learning form all they read and hear, from all they do and see others do.  In a sense, the whole community is their  school.  For this reason the public schools and the community they serve must share similar goals and work together for the children's best interests.  In all our elementary schools there are regular conferences of parents and teachers, all meeting of the school board are open to the public, citizens advisory committees frequently are organized to counsel with school administrator and classroom visits and welcome at all times.  Your public schools invite you to work with them in promoting the best kind of education for your children.   Pictured Above:  Group discussions such as this one by second-graders at Yates school help to sharpen children's thinking about today's complex and troubled world.  The discussions are a means of tieing regular classroom work in the Three R's.
