Excerpt from Schoolhouse Meeting Suggestions for School Closing Exercises Among the meetings at the schoolhouse that create the greatest interest in school life and that attract the largest audiences are school closing exercises. Everyone is interested in the work of the children and in the general progress of the school. It should be the aim of the teacher to present to the patrons a pro gram that will be attractive, that will give an idea of the work accomplished during the year, and that will awaken interest in the needs of the school and community. The teacher should make this meeting not only entertaining, but of real social and educational value to both pupils and audience. To accomplish this end, it is usually better to devote parts of several days to these exercises than to attempt to do too much in one day. It is also wise to give every opportunity to student committees to render social service and to assume responsibility for the success of this happy closing of their Year's work.
