Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Pioneer Days in La Salle County, Illinois, and Poster Designs Commemorating the Washington Bi-Centennial 1932: By Grammar Grade Pupils of Village and Rural Schools, La Salle County, Illinois As a part of their participation in the celebration of the Washington Bi centennial this year the pupils in the rural and village schools were invited to design posters commemorative of the Father of His Country, and the eighth graders were privileged to try their hand again at telling a story of pioneer days. At the time the invitation was extended, it was expected that at least two hundred of the 1932 posters and stories could be reproduced in pamphlet form. But the financial stringency still continues and it is impossible to realize our expectations. Hence, many an interesting story and many an excellent poster had to be omitted in this pamphlet, much to the chagrin of the county superintendent and, no doubt, to the disappointment of many a worthy pupil. In the estimation of the county superintendent nothing that these smaller schools have done in recent years so definitely marks their praiseworthy ad vancement as the writing of these stories and the designing of these posters, for both are of the creative type that evidence intellectual growth. Likewise, both are on a markedly higher plane than was thought possible for grammar grade pupils only a few years ago. It is ardently hoped, however, that they represent a new era in school achievement, and that they but pave the way to even greater skill in the fine art of story telling.
