| As a new school principal,
Mr. Mitchell was checking over his school on the first day.
Passing the stockroom, he was startled to see
the door wide open and teachers bustling in and out, carrying off books
and supplies in preparation for the arrival of students the next day. The
school where he had been a Principal the previous year had used a check-out
system only slightly less elaborate than that at Fort Knox.
Cautiously, he asked the school's long time
Custodian, "Do you think it's wise to keep the stock room unlocked and
to let the teachers take things without requisitions?"
The Custodian looked at him gravely... "We
trust them with the children, don't we?" |
