KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH

OOL W

ORK

In a little house-organ of its own originating from the office of the superintendent of schools, Hammond teachers are kept in close touch with activities at the various schools. Mr. L. L. Caldwell, super, intendent. has adapted an idea in his weekly bulletin to teachers, that has been proven of Inestimable value in knitting: the organization into a unified whole. Most of the big business and manufacturing: institutions of the country have recently adopted the house-organ idea as a means of informal communication between the executive offices and the shops. Here's an abbreviated sample of the circular that Mr. Caldwell is issuing: weekly to his teachers: Bulletin No. 2, Series 1. 1922-1923. HAMMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT Date: September 18, 1922. Subject: IMPORTANT ITEMS TGR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERA-TION. To Principals and Teachers: 1. SAFETY CAMPAIGN: There have been several accidents and near-accidents since the opening: of sohool, endangering the lives of sohool children on street crossings and because of children playing in the street. Some of the accidents have been due to the carelessness of automoibile drivers and some to fhe thoughtlessness and carelessness of the-children. It is extremely important that each school organize a SAFETY CAMPAIGN with reference to the crossing of streets on the way to and from school, playing in the street, "jumping trucks." cutting across streets, crossing railway tracks, etc. Each school is expected to take the matter up at once and plan its own campaign. This particular need offers a fine opportunity for instruction and training in comcommunity civics and a splendid use of the project method of teaching. Please make it a subject of real interest and not merely a matter of a few announcements. We wish to designate nest week (Sept. 25 to 29) as "Safety First Week." Each principal Is asked to keep memoranda of the work and organized plans of her building and file a brief report of the same not later than Tuesday, October 38rd. The police department has been asked to cooperate in every possible way. We shall be pleased to have you report Items of general interest in this connection. 2. FIRE DRILLS AND PRECAUTIONS: In connection with, the safety Campaign, etc 3. PHYSICAL. CONDITION' OF ROCM, ETC.. The room teacher is very largely responsible for the physical condition of her room. Please report immediately seriously unsatisfactory conditions. Look, well to these points: 1. All the good light you can ret, 2. Keep room temperature from 68 degrees to 70 degrees. NEVER

OVER 70 degrees.

3. Open windows at intermission periods and so flush out the room. 4. Insist upon the room feeing free from dirt and dust. 5. Seat each child as comfortably as possible. As far as possible, make each day in the school an example and environment of clean, healthful, comPortable living. 4. PLAY INSTITUTE: There is being held in Hammond this week and next a Play Institute, to which Hammond teachers are invited without cost. The sessions are bring held at the Elks' club. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 7:43 o'clock. All that we know about the project is commendable. It is an effort to enlarge the recreational and play facilities of the city. We shall be pleased to have a many as can attend these ses-sions. 8. THE SCHOOLBUS: Several inquiries have been made about the school b\us. It is exceptionally fine --the last word in motorbus design

and construction; safe, sanitary and

wonderfully comfortable. It is as ONLY ONE SIDE TO QUESTION OF NEW COAT FASTENINGS

near t'baoi -iy safe and fool-proof as engineering skill can make any vehicle. It is for school use. You may have the use of it for field trips and excursions from 9:30 a, m. to 3:30 p. m. each school day and on Saturdays for special arrangement. From 7:30 a. m. to 9:00 a. m. and from 3.30 to 4:45 p. m. it is busy transporting pupils who live long distances from schools The Board of Education have another bus of the same kind ordered for early delivery. We regard the SCHOOL BUS as a real educational asset. 6. PROFESSIONAL READING: Whatever you do, remember this: MAKE YOUR READING INFORMATIVE, STIMULATING AND IN

SPIRATIONAL: NOT DRUDGERY. Seek the things you need to know, enlarge your vision, drink deep in the cup of inspiration. 7. CURRENT EVENTS: Good teaching must connect with everyday life and keep step with the times. Current events must have a large place in every day's work. It is a great satisfaction to see a morning paper upon the teacher's desk -- as we have observed several. There is a splendid weekly summary otf the world's news and current events published by the Institute for Public Service, sample copies of which we are sending to the principals for your inspection. It is especially good for teachers

and for grades from the rirtn up. We hope a good many schools will subscribe for copies of it. Let us flavor our dally portions with a liberal seasoning of Current Events. REMEMBER: Teaching and training the child to protect his life and stimulating him to earnest personal endeavor is better than "mere telling and reciting of 'knowledge. Let us make of them springs of living endeavor rather than cisterns to be filled with stale, sour facts. Personal impress is worth more than barren facts. Very cordially, L. L. CALDWELL. Superintendent. ALTA ADKINS, Assistant Superintendent.

WAIT

To The American People:

May I ask you to wait just seven days before placing your order for a Jordan enclosed car? We will make a very unusual announcement in all of the leading newspapers next week. It is most gratifying, of course, to find every Jordan dealer's sales floor bare of cars at this time but it makes necessary your indulgence until further shipments can be made. Jordan sales have been more than tripled this year but we must not increase production so rapidly as to endanger quality and service. Our future depends upon our constantly building a better car and giving to the public such prices as increased volume warrants. Next week's announcement will make clear this extraordinary request. In the seven days intervening it will please us to have you act upon the following sug-gestion. Do not call upon Jordan dealers or salesmen during the next seven days except for the information I specify. Just phone, give your name, and ask the dealer to send you a list of five, ten, fifty, five hundred or a thousand Jordan owners. They all have lists ready for mailing.

ent

Then write, telegraph, telephone or call upon any Jordan owner or group of owners, asking any one or all of the following questions. Would you advise me to buy a Jordan car? Is it a more satisfactory car than any you have driven before? How many Jordans have you owned? Have you ever known Jordan to cut the quality when the price was reduced? How does the final cost compare? I mean of course, list price, plus service expense, plus the second hand market depreciation. Is the Jordan good looking? Comfortable ? Economical ? Is it easy to handle ? Well balanced ? Quiet? Is it durable? Does it perform well? Does the dealer render satisfactory service ? Get the answers to these questions. Meanwhile remember that you will eventually drive an enclosed car. Make up your mind to read the Jordan announcement in next week's papers. We know we will meet many new friends next week. Jordan owners, I know, will be happy to introduce you. Cordially yours,
