PLAN To KEEP CHILDREN
OFF STREETS At NIGHT
Making Schools Social Centers
Urged at Parent each
ers' Meeting.

Make the schools social centers and
keep the children off the streets at night
was the plea which many speakers urged
at meeting of parents and teachers at
the Dennison School last evening. The
meeting was the first step toward the or
ganzati ton of a parent-teachers' associa-
ton. Those who spoke were A. T. Stuart,
director of intermediate instruction of
the public schools; B. w. Murch, super
vising principal Of the division; Mrs.
Emma s. Shelton. president of the Dis
trict w. C. T. o.; Mrs. Giles Scott Raj
ter and Fred l.. F'ishback
Mr.. Stuart emphasized the need of con-
verting the public schools into centers
of social activity He predicted that the
question now being considered as to
whether or not a school could be used
for social purposes would be decided in
the affirmative.
That children could roam the streets
at night unaccompanied by adults vas
deplored by Mr.. Fishback.
Need of Cooperation.
Mr.. Murch spoke on the necessity of
cooperation between the home and
school. The teacher, he declared, was
interested as an instrument of the COM
munity, but if she did not take a greater
interest than this her work would not be
the best. The teacher, he asserted, should
look after the heart as well as the head.
Mrs. Shelton favored a curfew law. She
said she would like to see the boys and
girls form clubs at the schools.
Mrs Giles Scott Rafter made a plea
10 keep the organizations small. They
were not for sociological purposes, she
