LEAVING TIIE SCHOOL GROUND
Many children come to the Office and ask that they be excused to go
to the Co-op or across the tracts, or to the Post Office, and many other
plfVC'es, as much'ns I would like to grant these requests, I feel it is
my duty to discourage children in making them.
From the stand point of one or two in the family these little re
quests* do not amount to very much* \ But when you multiply the family t«
340 children and each one has a request, then* you have a problem on
hand that is most*confusing, Supposing you send your child to school
on the.bps and he arrives safely, then at the noon hour, when you think
he is safe and under the care of the teacher, you learn that-he wandered
aw$y with another child across tlie tracts or to the store near, .by9 th; t
they got into some 'mischief or he stepped in front of a moving car and
was str.3,qk£u to the earth and injured severely.*- What would your re
action'‘toward the school beif this loose business were to be permitted?
Ooh’t you think it would be better for the children to remain at school
fter arrival in the morning? It Is not an easy or small problem to
’.eep on the tract of 340 children all the-time-, They are dynamic
forces. They use their brains to accomplish their desires. But we are
willing to give all the protection possible to your child as long as
we have the support and the cooperation of the family, ^hould you with
draw either support or cooperation, then we shall expect you to bear
the responsibility In protecting your child from injury and the seeing
to it that he gets on the bus before it leaves in regular route.
Should you desire that" your child run errands for the home,Please
file a request for the same on the rettirn of the child to school on
October 1st,- or I sha-11 take It for granted you do not desire that
your child be permitted to leave the school grounds,
