Friday we succeeded in finding
time to visit the little school out
by the Ford mill, not only because
several folks had suggested that
there was material for a story,
but for personal interests and
curiosity as well. The younger
classes had already been excused
for the day and the remaining
members of the fourth to seventh
grades, inclusive, Iwere absorbed
in discussion of the week's committees. Upon the blackboard were
the assorted duties followed by
the initials of the person, or
persons responsible for same.
While the school has a janitor
the students are nevertheless
listed to help keep the room and
the fire—which' finds its shortlived humble abode in a low
"belly" stove on a raised' platform of bricks at the fore-center
of the one-room - school house.
Others are in charge of the milk,

WHAT IS A BANK?
Not Strong Doors. Marble Floors
and Glum Faces
Nobody invented the bank. It just grew.
Like the home, the school and" other institutions, the bank came along to supply a
community need.
The bank provides a safe place to invest
surplus funds and protect valuables. It is
a Gibralter of finanacial strength for the
community.
Those in need of ready cash come to this
institution for assistance. Banking is a
vital community service and we enjoy conducting this service for Saline and surrounding territory.

served at mid-morning and mid-
afternoon every day. There are
others in charge of washrooms
and cloakhalls, for sports, and
for the Flag—which was taken
dcwn at the close of school and
folded as iwell and correctly, if
not as quickly, as any militaire
would. A small group in one cod-
ner completed plans ror the daily
morning' chapel for the week, including a different leader and
reader for each day. The walnut
spinet piano is played by one of
the pupils for the singing of student-led hymns, they say the
Doxolcgy, and the reader for the
day chooses either a verse from
the Bible or some appropriate
poem.
The building has a beautiful
setting of trees and' well-kept
lawn overlooking the dam. And
this is where these fortunate
youngsters compete in supervised
play, soon to be limited by snow
and cold, and supplemented with
simple calisthenics. The big front
door of the little white school
house opens into a cloak room
much of the fashion of all country schools, excepting it is paneled in dark walnut, most of
which came from near Milan. The
class-room also* has this lovely
American hardwood wainscoting,
and the double section desk-and-
seat combinations are of dark
walnut, too. Still to be installed
is the recitation platform, teacher's desk, two study work tables,
a bulletin board, and two corner
cupbards.
The school is operated' directly,
and: controlled by, The Edison Institute, with the approval and
sanction of the State Board of
Education, as are several other
Ford schools of this type. The
methods of study are as modern,
and the textbooks chosen from the
same list, as any public school
uses. Because Mr. Ford was
taught from the old McGuffy readers, some have said that they were
being used here, which is not so;
but there are a few on the shelf
for reference and extra-ahsorb-
tion of literature—right now the
younger ones are using one to
learn the Ten Commandments in
verse, beautiful in its simplicity,
and lost frtfm the modern "rea.a1-
ers" to such non-composmentis
rhymes as can be written of a
frog or mouse. Manners, cleanliness, neatness, and respect for
others is being taught, not from
a book of cartoons, but by example and practice. It's well worth
the walk out there just to listen
to a group of adolescents who say
"I beg your pardon" instead of
"Huh"; "Thank you" instead of
"OK"; and "yes, please" and "no.
thank you" instead of a' negligent
nod or shake of the head Naturally the school also teaches the
"three Rrs." Oral spell-downs are
held once a week with silver dollar and half-dollar awards going
to the two highest of each graded
-group, and the one winning the
award the most times receives it
"for keeps" at the end of the
• year encircled with a gcM band
; engraved with his name and the
: i date. Spelling, arithmetic, read-
'• ing, writing, historv and geogra-
I phy and some of the arts all re-
I ceive their due. The schoolmaster,
j Robert M. Currie—who, incidentally—is one of the only two men
! instructors of country schools in
i the county—estimates that he
, listens to over thirty-five classes
j a day. An Institute music instructor visits the school twice a
. week. All Ford teachers—or
I more correctly, Edison Institute
] teachers—are men.
| Several mothers were surprised
i and thrilled to find' Henry Ford
here for the opening day of school
—the 7th of this month. Some
enjoyed a pleasant chat with him.
As of all his philanthropic ventures, he takes personal pride and
interest in this new school, which
should prove of benefit and' inspiration to the whole community.
The enrollment is 26, (with the
possibility that a few more will
be added shortly. Now in attendance are: Harry and Barbara
Jean Anderson. Robert and' David
Bredernitz, Robert, James and
Sara Ooek, Ruby Elliott, Louis
Faust, Charlotte and Betty Jane

It is unquestionable but that
this school offers opportunities
hot found in an urban one—the
whole principle is based on personal ability and instruction which
is not uossible in a class of 40-
odd children studying one subject
under one instructor who never
has the chance to really "know" all
her pupils. The rural school teacher "grows up" with each of her
charges, and when at last they
leave for a trade or high, school,
are more responsible .and independent for the 'family life"
they have led in a one-room
school house than are their city
sisters and brothers passed from
one teacher to another and room

that they plan on increasing employment to a large extent very

'Phs Isrgsst land salamander hi the world is the mole salamander of the Pacific coast, 10 inches long. Friday we succeeded in finding time to visit the little school out by the Ford mill, not only because several folks had suggested that there was material for a story, but for personal interests and curiosity as well. The younger classes had already been excused for the day and the remaining members of the fourth to seventh grades, inclusive, Iwere absorbed in discussion of the week's committees. Upon the blackboard were the assorted duties followed by the initials of the person, or persons responsible for same. While the school has a janitor the students are nevertheless listed to help keep the room and the fire—which' finds its shortlived humble abode in a low "belly" stove on a raised' platform of bricks at the fore-center of the one-room - school house. Others are in charge of the milk, r i e I WHAT IS A BANK? Not Strong Doors. Marble Floors and Glum Faces Nobody invented the bank. It just grew. Like the home, the school and" other institutions, the bank came along to supply a community need. The bank provides a safe place to invest surplus funds and protect valuables. It is a Gibralter of finanacial strength for the community. Those in need of ready cash come to this institution for assistance. Banking is a vital community service and we enjoy conducting this service for Saline and surrounding territory.

There are others in charge of washrooms and cloakhalls, for sports, and for the Flag—which was taken dcwn at the close of school and folded as iwell and correctly, if not as quickly, as any militaire would. A small group in one cod- ner completed plans ror the daily morning' chapel for the week, including a different leader and reader for each day. The walnut spinet piano is played by one of the pupils for the singing of student-led hymns, they say the Doxolcgy, and the reader for the day chooses either a verse from the Bible or some appropriate poem. The building has a beautiful setting of trees and' well-kept lawn overlooking the dam. And this is where these fortunate youngsters compete in supervised play, soon to be limited by snow and cold, and supplemented with simple calisthenics. The big front door of the little white school house opens into a cloak room much of the fashion of all country schools, excepting it is paneled in dark walnut, most of which came from near Milan. The class-room also* has this lovely American hardwood wainscoting, and the double section desk-and- seat combinations are of dark walnut, too. Still to be installed is the recitation platform, teacher's desk, two study work tables, a bulletin board, and two corner cupbards. The school is operated' directly, and: controlled by, The Edison Institute, with the approval and sanction of the State Board of Education, as are several other Ford schools of this type. The methods of study are as modern, and the textbooks chosen from the same list, as any public school uses. Because Mr. Ford was taught from the old McGuffy readers, some have said that they were being used here, which is not so; but there are a few on the shelf for reference and extra-ahsorb- tion of literature—right now the younger ones are using one to learn the Ten Commandments in verse, beautiful in its simplicity, and lost frtfm the modern "rea.a1- ers" to such non-composmentis rhymes as can be written of a frog or mouse. Manners, cleanliness, neatness, and respect for others is being taught, not from a book of cartoons, but by example and practice. It's well worth the walk out there just to listen to a group of adolescents who say "I beg your pardon" instead of "Huh"; "Thank you" instead of "OK"; and "yes, please" and "no. thank you" instead of a' negligent nod or shake of the head Naturally the school also teaches the "three Rrs." Oral spell-downs are held once a week with silver dollar and half-dollar awards going to the two highest of each graded -group, and the one winning the award the most times receives it "for keeps" at the end of the • year encircled with a gcM band ; engraved with his name and the : i date. Spelling, arithmetic, read- '• ing, writing, historv and geogra- I phy and some of the arts all re- I ceive their due. The schoolmaster, j Robert M. Currie—who, incidentally—is one of the only two men ! instructors of country schools in i the county—estimates that he , listens to over thirty-five classes j a day. An Institute music instructor visits the school twice a . week. All Ford teachers—or I more correctly, Edison Institute ] teachers—are men. Several mothers were surprised i and thrilled to find' Henry Ford here for the opening day of school —the 7th of this month. Some enjoyed a pleasant chat with him. As of all his philanthropic ventures, he takes personal pride and interest in this new school, which should prove of benefit and' inspiration to the whole community. The enrollment is 26, (with the possibility that a few more will be added shortly. Now in attendance are: Harry and Barbara Jean Anderson. Robert and' David Bredernitz, Robert, James and Sara Ooek, Ruby Elliott, Louis Faust, Charlotte and Betty Jane Feeman, Josephine and Jameson Ford, Maxine and Phyllis Hertler, Evelyn ar.d Elaine Korte. Marie Kuebler, David. James and Daniel Levleit, Melvin Rhoem, James Rogers, Carol Ann Schrader, Thel- ma Wahl and Genanne Young. It is unquestionable but that this school offers opportunities hot found in an urban one—the whole principle is based on personal ability and instruction which is not uossible in a class of 40- odd children studying one subject under one instructor who never has the chance to really "know" all her pupils. The rural school teacher "grows up" with each of her charges, and when at last they leave for a trade or high, school, are more responsible .and independent for the 'family life" they have led in a one-room school house than are their city sisters and brothers passed from one teacher to another and room to room.
