Or. r. L. Reid is Elected President Of
This Association for Coming
Year at Meeting Which Was
Held Yesterday.
REVIEW WORK OF YEAR
That II Has Been Worth While, All
Aaree-some Suggestions as to
Where Work Can be
Benefited.

The Parent-Teachers association
held its annual meeting yesterday IN
the high school assembly room and
elected the following officers for the
coming year, Miss Carrie Gilmore pre-
senting the nominations:
President-Dr. r. l.. Reid.

Secretary-Miss Florence Gabriel
Treasurer-Mrs. Edward WHIT
marsh.
The program for the afternoon was
an informal one, being a resume OF
the results OF the years study and
discussion of some possible improve
riet Solomon presided. Some of the
expressions are summed up In the
following:
Theory VS.. Practice.
Mrs. O. w. Weyer thought the asso-
citation had theorized during the year
about encouraging the pupils and had
failed to practice it at the recent con-
cert by the high school orchestra,
which had very small audience.
rps c.. Hayden announced that the
parents and teachers would have an
other opportunity to practice their
theories since another orchestra con-
cert would soon be given.
Prof. VIM. Aldrich thought that the
meetings had been worth while be-
cause they had helped the teachers
and parents to understand each other
and had explained the Why OF
things not before understood.
Miss Mary Harrington said that
every program had been SO helpful to
her that it was hard to speak of one
as better than another.
Discussions Best Part.
Miss Florence Gabriel thought the
discussion had been the best part of
the programs. That some progress
had been made in the study OF build
ing up character in the child.
Miss Bertha Craig said that she
wished some method Of identifying
the members might be used next year,
as sometimes done in conventions.
She suggested each pin visiting
card on the dress or coats which
would serve in making the names Of
the members known to each other.
Miss Louise Helwis said that one
practical suggestion made during the
year was the censorship Of the NOV
ing picture shows and that the asso-
citation take some definite action to-
ward keeping children from seeing
sc.ne Of the pictures.
Miss Anna Gage talked along the
line of the moving picture shows.
While some are not immoral. still
they are not suited to children's
minds. They over-excite Them and
many children suffer from the ner.
vous strain.
Mrs. Daniel John thought the fellow
ship and friendship formed were
some of the best results of the meet
tngs.
Plea for Fairgrounds.
Prof. F. S. Patterson made a plea
for the work of the playground asso
citation. The board of directors of the

association are willing to do many
things to equip the play grounds, but
are handicapped by lack of funds.
Mrs. Lillian Mcdowell said that the
years course had taught the present
trend of child development and that
the present idea differed greatly from
that in former years.
Miss Dunlap said that parent prob
lem and the teacher problem Is prac-
tically the same and that to exchange
ideas on this had benefited all who
had attended the meetings.
Mrs. Edward Whitmarsh said that
the. teachers had been most faithful
in attending the meetings, but that
the attendance of parents nao not
been what it should be.
Miss Eta Repps spoke on the same
line and said the parents needed the
study and discussion of the problems
quite as much as the teachers.
Wants EN- TIcketed.
Miss Kfedaisch said that she agreed
with Miss Craig in wishing that there
might he, some means Of introducing
those in the association who did not
know each other. She said one moth
er had spoken to her and said, Il
recognize the high school teachers
because I've seen their pictures in the
annual"
Prof. S. A. Dennison felt disappoint-
ed that the attendance of parents had
not been larger, but said he had OBJ
served that those who did come were
very regular in their attendance.
Miss Van Steinwick said that some
of the parents had disagreed with the
ideas advanced in some OF the papers
and had made personal investigation
in the schools.
Miss Frances Martin said she be-
lieved the association had stimulated
the interest of parents in the school
for the number OF visitors had notice
ably Increased.
Mrs. Leonard Matiess said the most
helpful idea to her had been that all
study and occupation has for its real
object. to fit the child for life.
Mutually Benefited.
DR. r. L. Reid said he thought the
simple announcement in the papers to
the effect that the Parent Teachers as.
ISOLATION had held a meeting was of
value to the community. 1t shows
that we have touched a common note
in our lives. Whether or not we have
solved any problem to final conclu
sion does not signify, but that we
understand each other better has
made the years work profitable one
