press briefly the aim OF this aSSocla-
ton.
Article II-Its object shall be to
bring into closer relations the home
and the school, that parent and teach
er may cooperate intelligently in the
education of the child.
Article III-AM parents teachers and
caretakers Of children are qualified for
membership.
The Parent Teachers Association Of
Maine is in turn a part Of nation
wide movement in the interests of the
home and school. 1t is direct result
of the agitation in educational and
civic circles for closer relation be-
tween the community and the school.
The securing of better schoolhouses
and equipment and making the school
social center are some of its CHIEF
aims. Through the work of such as
sociations many material benefits have
been secured for schools. Funds have
been raised and suitable pictures and
casts been placed in school rooms
Libraries have been purchased or new
books added to those already existing.
Play ground apparatus has been pur-
chased and in some instances victrolas
have been put into the schools. there
by enabling pupils to become familiar
with the best musical talent of the
world.
Parent Teachers Associations have
been most successful when they have
not attempted to deal to any great
extent, with the methods or routine
work of the school room, but rather
with the big constructive things out
side the direct province of the teacher
such as securing better buildings.
equipment and settling of matters
which the voters of the town decide.
Not less important than these material
things is the great social benefit de-
rived from the Parent Teachers Meet
ings. Parents and teachers become
better acquainted with each other and
are therefore more ready to discuss
frankly the needs of the home and
school and to adjust any dlfferences
that may arise. Where such assocla-
tions exist, more parents are found
visiting the schools and more teach
ers calling at the homes. A more toll
Grant spirit is apparent on both sides.
The community as a whole MAINTAINS
a more reasonable attitude towards
it's schools and greater understand
ing in regard to the aims ana purposes
of the school officials.
The establishment of the Parent
Teachers, Association, together with
the School Improvement League OF
the rural communities, means much to
the advancement OF a higher standard
both in school and community h1e.

TAns TO MAKE CASH.

Tho Journal is m receipt Of a let
ter In which Il is argued that college
education not only does not contri-
butte 10 success in NE. but actually
lcturds success Many illustrations
Of success by neducated men are
given to butress the contention.
Perhaps II 10 useless TO answer an
argument so utterly foolish, but 80
many people have something OF the
same sort Of notion that another cX-
posufo Of the fallocy may be worth

our critic Of college education cites
Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Johnson

uneducaled men who have succeeded
The fulhcy is that each Of tho men
mentioned were most oXcellcntly odi
ucutcd through their own efforts
They acquired boy the candle Tar moro
book knowledge than is usually ac-
qulred by college graduates Thcy
succeeded Ia spite Of their limited
opportunities in early NE. HAD each
uf them been "a graduate Of q Great
university he would have succeeded
just the same, ana possibly more
brilliantly The stuff Of which sue

ana the greater the barrier 10 be
overcome the greater the effort each
Of them put forth.
Each Of them used books aud facts
produced by scholars Edison had
at his hccl, and call the knowledge Of
electricity acquired by thousands Of

Posed Of by the general statement
that the best educated people In the

they devote their attention, ana the
