THE ATHENAEUM 65 LITERARY NOTES AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK. By Vaughn Payne, ’25. rpHE first week of December was set aside as American Education ■*“ Week. The object of the dedication was to focus the nations attention upon education and to make a national sentiment for the improvement of our schools and the furtherance of our educational aims. The entire population was asked to join in and contribute to rjake this movement a success. An elaborate program was out lined, furnishing each day a topic of educational value for nation wide discussion in all gatherings. As we emerge from this dedicated week, we feel that the lectures and discussions have brought national benefit. We all are aware of the fact that a popular education is essential to the suc cess of a democratic country, for without such education come those elenyents of retrogression and decay. Between teachers and students there should be closer relationship built upon service. Illiteracy is slowly disappearing, but it is evident that it requires the undivided effort of every individual to completely abolish the appalling condi tion. The necessity of physical training was strongly emphasized, and in the future greater efforts shall be made to secure for students better physical training facilities. We are looking forward to wonder ful improvements in consequence of this week of concentrated thought and serious discussion on education. x X T I I X X X x f V ^ND IT IS STILL POoSIBLE SERVICE PRINTING COMPANY 174 AUBURN AVE.
