Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from State of Maryland Teachers' Year Book: For the Information, Use and Guidance of the Officials and Teachers of the Public Schools of the State of Maryland, Scholastic Year 1915-1916
Such cc-operation as will bring the school and the home into sympathetic relationships is not possible without stated gatherings and with definite ends in view. An interest can be aroused which will bring people together to consider the interests of the school, which are also the interests of every home of the school district. It is un natural for a community to be indifferent to its highest welfare if it knows what are its most fundamental in terests. We must take to them the gospel of sound edu cation and convince them that without their support it cannot accomplish for their children its highest mission, nor can it become in the best sense a center of useful knowledge and a distributing point for efficiency or the power to do things. How can we hope to have those hundreds of miserable school buildings scattered over the State made into fit habitations for young human beings - where abundant light is provided, proper ventilation and heating secured and interior and exterior surround ings of the school plant cleanly. And attractive? Teacher, can you or willyou do that much for your school this year? The remedy for this condition is al7 most absolutely with you. Will you take it to heart to the extent that you will be unhappy until you have succeeded? That is the way, and so far as we know there is no other. When you reach that point the School Board will know about it and will help; the community will find it out and help along. When these three factors - the community, the County School Board and the teacher - set their heads to do a thing it will be done!
