Stratford, Jan. 11-On "Wednesday afternoon in the chapel of the Conere- gational church there will be a meet ing to arrange and discuss plans for the forming of a Parent Teachers association here. Mrs. D. L. Mott will give an instructive talk on the work being done throughout the state Mrs William B. Kelsey, of Judson Place wife of the superintendent of schools lis heading the movement in Stratford.
 The object of the Parent Teachers association is to bring the home and the school in closer contact. If pa- rents and teachers combine in working for the welfare of the children, it is claimed that much more advantage ous and quicker results may be at tained than if the home and the school remain two distinctly different kinds of environment in the childss life The teacher who knows the child only in his connection with the schooIroom has not the same op- portunity to get at the indiVId uality Of the child and make most Of its de- 1e1opInelat as is the case when the characteristics of the child in home life are known. The association also promotes social gatherings in which children are given an opportunity to show practical initiative in planning programs and entertainments with the assistance Of their parents.
