The Parents Teachers Association
held some very interesting meetings
during the year 1914-'15. The first
meeting in October was well attended
and good work planned for the year.
At the November meeting an exhi-
bition of the pupils work was made
and was greatly enjoyed and much
praised by the parents. The art work
made good showing. 1t was decided
at this meeting that all contributions
to the work for the year would be free
will Offering. Owing to the unusual
financial strain this year it was
thought best not to have any enter
tainments at which a charge was
made. Enough money was given how
ever, to pay the extra expenses of
the school and leave small balance
in the treasury.
At the January and February meet
ings Mrs. c. J. Levy and Mrs. C. w.
Schornherst gave very forcible and
interesting talks on the Importance
| of improvement in school work along
the line of spelling and writing.
1t was a matter of regret to the
association that its president, Mrs.
Maulden was not able to preside over
many of the meetings on account Of
| i'll health.
