Letter From The Mayor
Dear Citizens:
March 1, was the deadline for the purchase of the Huntley ve¬ hicle tax. After this date, any car not having one of these taxes in the right hand corner was subject to arrest. I However, as many citizens have
stated that   they were  unable   to purchase their vehicle license stick- ci-s do to the city office not  being open,  wi'  have  decided  to  give   a grace period through March 10 for you to purchase and display your j    vhciclc license tax. i       On Saturday, March 10, a repre- I    senlatixe of the village board will i   be on hand at the village hall for '    those of you who have not as of yet purchased your vehicle stick¬ ers.   On   Sunday   morning,   March 11, tickets will be issued.
Sincerely, Wilpault Brill, Mayor.
Facts &) Figures
By  M.  E.  Gahan,   Supt. During the week-end of Feb. 24 through Feb 27, I had the privilege
I of attending the National Second¬ ary School Principals Association Convention at St. Louis Missouri.
i    There were a number of outstand-
: ing speakers and sectional meet¬ ings plus  the giant  show  of  new
¦¦ school materials and methods to he viewed.
!       One   of  the  most  striking   con- j    cepts that I received from this con¬ ference was the strong recommen¬ dation    that    students,    especially those   not   planning   for   college, should prepare as much as possible I   for more than one vocation. This j    stems from the projection of auto¬ mation's   throwing  certain  skilled j   and   semi-skilled    people   out    of work.
It was also quite inspirational to have the privilege of sharing cer¬ tain administrative practices with administrators   from   other  states and a few foreign countries. Miss Carol John has been foiced I   to   resign  her  teaching duties  by j   orders from her doctor. She must !    undergo surgery soon and will not I   be able to return to Huntley for the   remainder   of   the   yeai-.   Mr. Donald Henne will replace her as social  science teacher in our 7th and Sth departmental  setup.   Mr. Henne  graduated   from   Northern Illinois Unicversity and was doing work on his master's degree when the vacancy occurred. We arc very fortunate to  have   found a  fully- qualified teacher to fill this posi¬ tion.
As a result of re-reading our President's message to Congress on Education of February 6, I should like to repeat afew strik¬ ing highlights:
"An estimated one million a year leave school before completing completing high school."
"Forty per cent of this who en¬ ter college drop out l)efore gradu¬ ation."
"By 1970 college enrollments alone will  nearly  double."
"Already over half a million pu¬ pils are in curtailed or half-day sessions."
"Adult education must be pur¬ sued agrcssively. Over eight mil¬ lion American citizens aged 25 or above have attended school for less than five years and more than a third of these completely lack the abilitv to read and write."
