PARENTS MEETING HELD
TUESDAY.
A Number of Interesting
Talks and Outline of Plans
for the Parents Co.opera-
ton.

The first Parents Meeting of the year
was held in the chapel of the Central
Graded School building Tuesday after
noon, and proved to be profitable and
interesting occasion. There was good
attendance of the parents, and interest
was aroused i'm the movement that is
expected to make the next meeting n
month hence great success.
The parents after the meeting were
introduced to the teachers and discussed
questions of mutual interest. Only
words of praise were heard for the work
that has been done in improving the
appearance of the school rooms: all of
them are decidedly attractive and show
well the general pride in the school that
is being developed.
The meeting was opened with talk
by Supt. Bruce Craven who outlined
the many ways in which parents can
help the whole school and thereby help
their own children. and that it is neces-
sary to get together and have unity of
action to accomplish the best results.
DR.. BOldridge made an interesting
talk about the duties of parents, saying
that some one must control the child
rem; that if the parents do not control
them they will be controlled by them;
and that he agreed with the Superin-
tendent that corporal punishment ought
not to be necessary in the school and
would not he if the children were prop
erly controlled by their parents.
Prof. j. X. Connors spoke of the pro-
gressivc work being undertaken by the
school and of the support that it de-
serves, and he then read an article from
teachers magazine describing the good
that had been done by an organization
of this kind in Boston.
Mr.. w. u. Bennett spoke of the duties
of all parents as parents and as patrons
that they have TO look after their own
children and that they also owe duty To
the school.
The next meeting OF the parents will
be held about amonth hence. \ special
program will beprcpared and published,
and AT this meeting it is hoped that
every family in town will bo represent
ed. The movement is for the good of
the children and the parents are asked
To take interest in this solely for their
own good.
Some of the many points made by
Prof. Craven rs to what the parents can
do for the school, are here given and

THEIR SERENE UGLINESSES

cling them a cheval and en- plein. the
croupier's warning voice rose above
the chatter, and a few seconds later
there came the announcement:
"Onze! Noir. impaire ct manque!"
He had louis en- plein. one on the
second six and one on the first dozen;
therefore. after his losses had been
raked in. he received, as his gain.
600 francs. .FlE
A look of extreme satisfaction over
spread the features of the Misses Tre-
herne, and the elder scribbled some
thing in the little silver-bound book
they had brought in which to record
their winnings.
Drummond was exceedingly lucky
that afternoon. Very soon the pile Of
gold and notes before him increased.
until he deemed 1t wise to exchange a
few hundred louis for notes. Indeed.
In one hour the party had won 5000
francs. Mabel placing the eight notes

ere l returned to the gaming rooms.
They had filled. as they always do
late in the afternoon. when the trains
come in from Nice. and people were
standing four deep around. Drum

to have taken turn. He had lost

Both expressed willingness to act
as he suggested, and all three rose and
walked on, the two girls giving vent
to the observations which had per.

On the morrow. however. they
played again at the same table.

quarters OF an hour"
well? We can surely afford that.
Remember what we won on the first
day. We must expect some losses"
What about our half a million %
Mabel asked.
They both laughed as II enjoying
the huge joke Of losing such a re-
spectacle amount.
The Misses Treherne finished their
meal hurriedly. as 1t was growing late.
and went forth to the theater. while
we sat idling over our cigars and
liqueurs. chatting as men of the same
profession are apt to chat. Some half
hour later, however. Drummond, smart
in his dining Jacket and well-tied black
bow, strolled in, and, recognizing me,
crossed and sat down at our table.
"Well?" I inquired; "and how's the
play going?" for the talk at Monte
Carlo Is ever of the play.
"Going?" he exclaimed, as he helped
himself to a Benedictine. why. as
dead against us as 1t can. Those girls
are bigger fools than took them to

Stacked in little piles before them
were about 5000 francs in louis. and
Drummond was testing his chance Of
playing always on the "transversales"
Of three numbers. for which the bank
pays II times the stake.
"Rien ne va plus!" cried the crou-
pier, as I approached.
Dix! Noir pair ct manque!"
Drummond won, having louis on
the numbers 10. II and IL.
Eleven louis were pushed towards
him, his stake remained where he had
placed It. With a good players fore
sight. he put another louis upon the
one already on the "transversale."
Again the cylinder revolved and the
ball dropped.
'Douze! Rouge pair ct manque!"
He had won. This time he received
20 louis, or $50 francs. To leave his
stake there q third time was too
risky, so. taking up one of the coins.
he placed the other on the trans
versale" Of 16. II and IS, winning
again as the last number came up.
That, however. was the last Of his
good fortune. for afterwards he lost
persistently, until the whole Of the
days capital had disappeared. Then
they rose, and the two bony-faced girls
strolled about discontentedly.

He preferred eating with some Of his

companionship of this strangely plain
pair who had come to fling away their
money SO recklessly. Both were in

were noteworthy, even for Monte

Ten minutes later zero turned up.
and Drummond. with a louis upon 1t,

he had bought SO dearly in the past,
he placed a note for 100 francs on the
number nine. and one for $50 francs
on 27, thus backing the two numbers
which usually follow on zero.
