OUR «NNU..L EXHIBIT
"Count your blessings," says an old
maxim end that is what parents of Milne
students will do tonight when this term's
crowning achievements will be on view.
Every yeer the Milne classes errange for
a Parents' Night when individual pro-
jects will form an unnual exhibit.
Science, literature, mathematics,
languages, home economics--all have a
part in proving to our elders how well
Such valuable and interesting material
Gan be converbed into clever end artistie
presentions. There is nothing so satis-
factory to beth instructor and student
as the. conversion into a tangible result
of weeks of precept. It makes the class-
work, which may have seemed « little
tedious once or twice, more interesting.
Classwork then becomes more prefitéble
by increasing the student's self-assur-
anee.
The benefit of Parents’ Night, how-
ever, is not derived solely from the
project nor is it directed solely toward
the student.
annually our parents ore privileged
to hear a discourse on the subject of ed-
ucation by an eminent authority. This
brings the parents closer to the under-
lying theories sf eduction as we have
it today and completes an understanding
relationship umong the parent, the
teccher, sand the child.

The Senior High girls, from a casu..i
canvass, appear to dismiss the idea
too impractical to consider. They s
impractical becayse it is possible fr
them to recall when the fuculty opinion
as te girlst uniforms was in the nega-
tive. Others fet] that uniforms cre
highly desirable in a girls* school but
not in a co-educational institution.
Further evidence of the Junior
seriousness in this matter and the Cen-
ior High willingness to consider is found
in the fact that the Junior School has
presented to the Senior High Student
Council a petition for an officicl can-
