MOTHERS CONGRESS-
 TO BE HELD HERE.

The Conway School and Civic Club, under the department of education, Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal, chairman, will hold mothers congress on Fri day afternoon or evening following the opening of the high school.
 A general program has been ar ranged for the occasion which, we hope, will express all the accumulate ing determination of years past to raise the Conway high school to the standards of the best high schools.
 But the chief object of the mothers congress is to get the mothers to- gether, and through them form par ents' association, and through the parents association to cement the re- lation of parents and teachers, the end being a standardized high school
 The above is the plan on paper. The question has been raised, how can we arouse the dormant interest of every mother who has child to go to school? Each mother has a nat ural interest, but how shall we man age to get her to express it?
 Plans formulated are just begin ming for a standard school; a meet ing of a few women can provide a library, pictures, apparatus, etc; a committee or two can cooperate with the faculty and school board to inn prove all material and mental condi- tions, but no school car nope to rank with the best without ardent CO., operation of the pal l.s, for they supply the spiritual qaality of the school, and spirit is the essence.
 To all mothers of school children: Will you attend the meetings of the Conway School and Civic Club at the courthouse park Thursday aftern- oons at 4:30 o'clock?
