Local teachers weigh lay commission article on schooling
Monday a special meeting of grammar school teachers considered the article An Appraisal of School Children as Given by California Lay Commission. They favored the piece and urged higher standards, clearer aims, less generality, more emphasis on dignity of work, and age-based schooling reforms. They call for legislators to consider native ability and for continued review of the commission’s methods to adapt schools to changing life conditions.

Almond blossoms bloom over a thousand acres in Banning with a three-week display. The valley sheltered by Old Gray back and Mt. San Jacinto offers a free, noncommercial spectacle attracting motorists to vantage points for superb views. The show is prolific this year and comparable to Japan’s cherry blossoms.
