Joint Meeting of Parent-Teachers'
Clubs.

SlubSs
The meeting Monday afternoon
opened by singing America Mrs
Gard, president of the East Side Cir
Gle, made a few remarks ard well
coined the visiting circles. Reports
of the work done by the different
circles was then given by their re-
spective presidents. Mrs. Gard,
speaking for the East Side Circle,
asked the members of the other cir
cles TO give their votes in the Koha-
gen piano contest to this school
Both the East and West Side schools
are fitting up rest rooms for the
teachers. Mrs. Geyger of Neil Creek
reported that they had served two
dinners and given one entertainment
and had used the funds derived
therefrom to PAIN the school house
and provide il with screens. Mrs
Gordon of the Belleview Circle re-
ported that electric lights had been
installed in that school house and
that an entertainment is to be given
Friday evening to pay for the same.
Two excellent papers on the subject
of good roads were read by Mrs.
Barrows of Neil Creek and Mrs
Schoenthal of Belleview. The dis
cussion of these papers was led by
Mrs. Gard. A solo by Miss Engle
was followed by 4 talk on the sub
ject of uniform dress for the school
room, by Miss Kaiser. Her expert
ence as a teacher in a girls board
ing school in Seattle, where a uni
form was worn with excellent re-
suits, made her an earnest advocate
of that method Of dealing with the
dress problem. Professor Briscoe
made some pertinent and sensible
remarks on the necessity of parents
and teachers working together on
the question of suitable dress, show
ing that the teachers can do very
little without the cooperation of the
parents. He also deprecated the
wearing of short sleeves and low
necked waists on the ground of
health and comfort and said that the
mothers should see that their chill
dren were clean sId orderly in ap-
pearance, when sent to school; and
if anything happened to a child on
the way it was the teachers business
to send him to the basement to re-
pair the damages. While several of
the mothers expressed themselves in
favor of the uniform, the majority
of both mothers and teachers seemed
to be against it, chiefly on the ground
that it would make school life mo-
notonous to both pupils and teach
ers, but all agreed that simple
mode of hair dressing and palmer
dresses were greatly to be desired.
This discussion IVES followed by a
general social time and the serving
of light refreshments.
