PUBLIC SCHOOL RECEPTIONS.
at No s Want tn Get Ac-
quainted with Parents.

A reception. the second of a series of four.
arranged by Prof. P. w. Dykema, principal
OF public school No. s, for the purpose Of
meeting socially the pupils of his school and
their parents. was held last night in the
school building on Virginia avenue. The
rooms were tastily decorated with flags and
flowers and. after a short programme. in
which teachers and pupils took part, light
refreshments were served. In speaking Of
the affair, Mr.. Dykema said: Last year we
held general receptions in order that We
might become acquainted with the parents
of our pupils. but it was found that so many
attended 1t was impossible for Us to meet
all of them in the way we wished This year
we have divided the school by grades in-o
four sections and are giving the receptions
on successive Friday nights. L think much
good will come Of IL. Parents are interested
In their children and so are we, but some
times scholars will do things that are not
Just right and when called TO task some
willfully. the conditions upon their arrival
at home. Such things tend TO make the rela-
lions between parents and teachers and
principal rather unpleasant. Wien We meet
the parents as we do here, we learn some
thing of them. the nome life of the young
people and they also learn a little of the
teachers. j found that many of them did not
feel so much like coming at US with clubs
as they might had we not met them in this
way and discussed school affairs. Most
parents take great pride in the education of
their children and j am sure, should a SINH
lar practice become general throughout the
city, great good would result.
