We the faculty of the Windom
school take this method of expressing
cur appreciation to the school board
for their consideration of we teachers
and our school in general.
We have all worked hard to raise
cur standard and to put over our
school work and to a great extent we
have been successful. Our only re-
gret is that we have not as yet ac-
complished as much as we would like
to have, but we have a fine six weeks
term left and much can be done if
we will only use it the proper way.
So we are asking the fine and good
patrons of our school to insist upon
their boys and girls to make this last
six weeks of our school their main
interest, because in many races just
a second of time means victory. The
school board has granted what they
think is a fair amount of time off
tnd let us all comply with this board
consideration for which we thank them
very much.
Had you not rather have your child
to make his or her work by working
hard the next six weeks than for your
child to fail?
We regret to learn that Mr. Riddle
one of our fine school board members
is thinking of resigning and wish to
say in behalf of the faculty that we
regret this very much because each
member of the faculty appreciates his
fine ability and cooperation as a
school man and friend to we teachers.
Again thanking the school board
for their fine cooperation spirit and
good work, we as a faculty pledge
ourselves for better school work.
