Announcement
To t he Editor of Ou r Town:
Although it was advertiseu fo r week.,
i n Ou r Town, was announced daily from
the school platform, and circulars were
distributed from doo r to door announc·
ing th e event, the talk givcn by Dr.
Te it r ick , Deputy S tute Supe r in tendent
of Public Instruction, was very sparsely
attended. One would infer that parents
werc indifferent to their children's edu
c at iona l wel fa re , o r perhaps , t o look
at th e matter from another anglc,
parent's ha\'e so much confiuence in the
constituted school authorities ,that they
feel that the children are weH takell
care of an,d arc sa,tisfied to rest contcnt
at that. I t has ah"uj's been th e dcsire
of the school authorities that parents
keep in close touch with SCl1001 maHer:>,
so that 110 misunderstllnding will arise.
The man or woman who neyer takes the
trouble to visi t the schoo l o r to inquire
into a child's progres s would he tbe
f ir st to seize an oppor tun ity to make
unfa"orable criticism.
Dr. Tei: trick spoke yery interestingly
and it is to be deplored t ha t t he par
ents of aJl th e school children in Xar'
berth wcre not at the l ne et in g. T he
speaker spent the entire day at the
scbool, visiting class rooms, following
closely the method's of teuching in the
di ffe rent grades, and, in fact, inspecting
eyery departmen t of the school. The
net result might be summed up in Dr .Teitrick's remarks, which were as near
I ~ as I can rememher to th e folJowing
effect:
In view of the sho rt s choo l hou rs ,
there s houl d hc instituted a systl'ma·
tized method of s t u d ~ ' i ng' at homc, espe
ciany for the High School students.
Ei ther that or the school hour" should
he extended. I t is manifestly impos
s ible, according to Dr. Te it r iek , for a
student to p r o p e r l ~ - undef>,tand and
master a subject unless 1110rc tim e is
givcn to s tudy , and hc recollllllends o m o r th e o th cr o f the aho\'l' altcrnatives.
Attention was cal led to tI ll ' c ramped
('ondition of the rooll1s allcl our oycr·

Death of ArthurV. Emmett
I t is seldom that \\"e arc called upon
t o r ec ord so ' sad un occurrence as the
sudden death of Arthur V. Ennnett,
with its attendant tragic eircumstances.
Thc sympathies of the ent i re commun·
i t ~ · are deeply stirred hy this unfore'
seen termination of the comparatively
s li gh t i nj ur y from , ,' hi ch he suffe red.
It seems that ?III'. Emmett, during u
g am e of s oe ce r b al l, s ome time ago.
was accidentally l;ickeu on the leg,
nl'ur the knee. A swelling resulted,
which became painful, and some weeks
ag o an operation was performed, whichit was hoped would bring quick relief.
On t hc contrary, ?III'. Emmett eontinucd

Dr. Teitriek s po ke o f all evil whien
seem's to hav e erept into the ~ d l O O l sof late .year,,; IIamely, t he c ig ar et te
habit. Xot Ihat ~ m o k i n g was indulged
in in the sehool rooms 01' building", bu t

by deale rs in tdhacco, who \\,ere sellingth e wee,l in it s HlriOUS' forms to ~ c h o o lehildrell nil ovcr th e Slale. 1I1any boys
and some girls ar c addicted to the hllJbit,
an d t,he effect is n ot eu i n t he pup il s'
school work.
He also s.lated th at if there were It
lack of d i ~ . , j p l i l l e in the home the teach·er was sure 10 suffer. There a're DU1.I1)
i n ~ l n l l ' c e s of this kind, and it 'Seem'S as

why a t e acher repor ts t he chiM as be
ing hard to llJunuge and disobedient.
Tho t e a c h e r ' ~ task is obviously the 11I01'0
difficult, as she ha s th'irty or more chilo
dren to handle. \Vhen a child docs not
recei\'e the prop"l' ,training at home, the
burden is thrown on t he t cache r . Some'
one asked the ~ p e a k e r as to the legality
of corporal punishment. In r ep ly t h6
ac t permitting the> usc of th e r od b y ateacher was quoted. Evidently the
State giYes a teacher jus.t as much
authority to punish a child as it does
a parent. ~ 1 a n y of the yonn.gsters
plainly show that they need something
more than kind words to keep thcm in
line, and it 'I> well thnt the I 'aw recog·
nizes this fact.
On tho subjec.t of physi'cal truining
the Deput;r Superintendent cal led at ·
t ent ion to the large nllluher of young
n1('n re.iected hy the Army examiners
fo r physical reasons. He thought that
physical training was quito as impor
tant as menta l, and urged that the lo
cal school belld every etrort in the di
rection of impro\".ing thebodics as well
as the minds of it s charges. lI o praised
our gymnasiulH, hu t suggestedeert::vin
additions i n t he way of appa ratus. He
also reeollllllen,led addit ional equipment

On t he subj ec t of manual t rain ing ,
he is ve ry empha ti c in s t at in g t ha t a
department o f t hi s k in d s ho ul d b e at ·
tacllcd to e\-ery school i n th e State.
According to the Doctor ' s idea, Nar
berth has aIL excellent school ill all de·
par tmen ts . The re isn' t a great deal
that he suggests ill th e way of impro\-
i ng i t , excep ting such as ou tl i ned he re in
abo\"e. He finds that we have an ex·
traordinarily fine corps of teachers, t h a ~t ho Boa rd of D ir ec to rs i s g iv in g t h"

business administration. To my mind,
what Man,Is out 1I10st promi lwntly in
his addregs is h i recolHmcndation with
regard to longer school hours or more
home study for the students. Noxt to
that, it ,seems to me, i s t he Dictor's 'rec
ognition of t he f ae t that our school fa
cilities ar c muc ll t oo s lI la ll for this
grow ing town, an d t he u rg en t need
of a new school building.One point I failed to mention above,
and t h at was Dr. Teiltrick's exhortation
that tho playground adjoining the
school, which i s n ot th e p roperty o f the
Borough, be acquired at the earliest
pOSSIble momeIlJt. A school no\\'aclays
without a good-sized p l a y g r o u ~ d , at ·
tached to it i s y ea rs b eh ind th e times.
The prope r ty must be acquired now if
ever. I t c an be pur chnsed at a vcry
slight ac1vancc 'o\"er Ithe pr ice pa il l for
it by Mr. Shand years ago. I t woulc1
bc t he n ex t thing to 'criminal 'neglect to
lose tho chance. I f the school doesn't
