In San Antonio, Texas, the eigh-
teen Parent-Teachers Associations
have together raised three thousand
dollars, all Of which has been eXpend-
ed in most practical manner. Also,
they secured the 1914 meeting OF the
Texas Congress of Mothers for their
town.
In Canton, Ohio, City Parent
Teachers Union has been formed. 1t
equipped the Summit School with

ton of the Cherry School.
In Chicago, the p. T. A. of the
Austin High School is endeavoring to
Danish the feather buster and the
broom from the city schools, substi-
tuting the vacuum cleaner.
These are only few of thousands
of activities which could be cited as to
the material side of this beneficial
movement To intelligently meet
the material need in each school is
important but after all, the greatest
value of the Parent-Teachers Associ-
alton is--not the material benefit,
but the moral and the spiritual. Us
ing the school house as a social CEN
ter, where teachers meet parents in
friendly spirit, becoming acqualnt-
ed with one another, understanding
one another, and working together
intelligently, and tremendously for
the children, hearing the lectures of
experts in the physical, mental and
moral development of the young.
The greatest value. however, lies
in the influence upon the child.
Nothing is more disastrous than an
tagonism between home and school,
in destroying efficiency and retard-
ing development. When the child
feels that his parents and teacher are
together so far as he is concerned,
he will be happier. more ambitious
and unconsciously will be an active
party in the great business of making
a good future citizen Of himself.
