“This report should be supplemented by personal conferences. Such conferences should be arranged with the teacher in advance. The school urges you to visit and become well acquainted with the teacher and with the work of your child. The more we can work together and know and understand each other, the more we can help your child grow into the habits and attitudes that are so desirable for good citizenship,” the message to parents from Superintendent Boyd concluded.

The Progress Report continued by asking for the parent’s cooperation.

“School progress depends largely upon the happiness, good physical condition, and good social habits of the child. We ask you to help in developing these.”

Parents could contribute greatly to the progress of the child by:
Understanding him.

Having him do the following:
Sleep 10 to 11 hours.
Eat nourishing foods.
Play in the sunshine.
Drink pure water and milk.
