SCHOOL MATTERS OF INTEREST
TO NARBERTH CITIZENS
Our Board of Education receives
a monthly report from the principal
of the scbools. This written report
contains a detailed account of what
has been accomplished during the
.month, and suggestions for the im-
provement of the schools. It is ar-
ranged under the foHowlng se'etlons:
General, Statistical and Financial;
Suggestions to Building Committee,
Suggestions to Educational Commit-
tee and Hecommendatio\ls to the
Board.
These reports should be of interest
to aH citizens, but as four have all
ready been submitted, only a few ex·
tracts can here be given. No school
can do efficient work unless there Is
co-operation of scbool and home. It
is therefore essential that the par-
_ents keep in touch with the school,
not only through the cbild, but
through official statements of school
authorities. The present adminstra-
tion urges school Yislting and invites
personal interview. To those who
have not visited the school nor con-
sulted with the administration the
[oHowlng paragraphs may be of inter-
€st.
From the first report we \lote:
"Good, wholesome school spirit is
gradually developing. Cases of disci-
pline are daily becoming fewer. The
greatest trouble that has arisen has
been the carelessness of pupils in
littering the school yard, pavements
and properties adjoining them with
paper and remains of lunches; tres-
passing and stealing fruit and defac-
ing public and private buildings with
mud and chalk. The first week many
verbal and several written complaints
were entered by citizens. These have
entirely ceased. 'Ve believe the pu-
-p1l5' see""tlicli"wllrl11R1-'l'tUW"htive
new idea of "Young Amerlca,"-Jun-
ior citizenship. No so·called "punish-
ment" was Inflicted in bringing
abo1lt. t.his changed attitude. The Nar-
berth boys and girls have responded
splendidly to an appeal to their high-
er emotions and ideals.
Parents Complain.
"At tlte opening of the term com;.
plaint was entered because of what.
parents considered "unfair grading."
These matters took time and pa-
tience, but by personal interview with
parents every case, as far as we are
aware, was settled to the satisfaction
of both parties. The trouble generally
lay, not in improper grading, but in
a lack of understanding the condi·
tions by the parents. If parents would
in all cases go directly to the princi-
pal al1 misunderstandings could be
adjusted. Very pleasant and belpful
interviews were the result of parents
calling on the principal. We hope the
board will continue to urge the policy
of referring the parents to the prin-
cipal in all matters under his super-
vision.
Co.operation Asked
"The hearty co-operation of every
member of the board and their fre-
quent appearance at the school are
greatly appreciated by the principal
and the teachers. This same spirit
of co-operation is manifested by the
pupils, teachers and janitor. As a
result, school life is pleasant "on the
hill." We regret we cannot bave witb
us the first grade and their efficient
teacher. A visit to their room in the
Y. M. C. A. would be a bright spot
in the day for anyone. The little
children are al1 keenly Interested in
their school life and the work Is de-
lIghtful to observe.
Question of Waste
"The question of waste has been
one of the greatest, next to school
organization, that has confronted us.
'1'00 many books are carelessly dis-
figured and soiled; stationery and
other supplies bave been wasted to
a marked degree. We are trying to
rectify these evils with two things In
mind: satisfaction to pupils and
teachers, but strict economy. We try
to impress upon pupl!s that it is even
moralJy wrong to allow waste; the
pupils and faculty are but stewards
of the people's money expended for
school supplies.
