new year. The News has with
stood several storms, and is to-
day on a firmer footing than at
any time in its history. 1t does
not owe a dollar, has a larger
list of friends than ever before,

terests of this community and
its people.
The News never endorses any
thing of a questionable nature,
and is very discriminating in this
respect.
The News is proud of its pa
irons and friends and hopes this
proud feeling is reciprocated.

Trains DetOur.

Last Friday the Kansas City
Southern and Missouri and NORTH
Arkansas trains from Joplin were
compelled to run over the Frisco
tracks from Joplin to Alton, via
Baxter, and then 60 to NeoshC
to get on their own rails. Shoal
creek, between Joplin and Neo'
sho was the highest it had beer
in forty years, and neither of the
roads mentioned could get thru,
the tracks being several feet
under water.
The Frisco yards here were
mighty full of trains for a few
hours.

Why a Parent. Teacher
Association?

Because
1. 1t establishes right rela'
tion between parent and teacher,
changing criticism to coopera'
tiou.
2. Teaches each some vital
truth which both should know.
3. Forms the right kind oi
public opinion and raises the
standard of home life.
4. Cuts down discipline, reduces
friction and doubles the educa-
tional efficiency of the school.
S. Makes the pupil more re-
ceptive, the teacher more symp n
thetic, the parent more appre-
ciative.
6. Makes the home and school
life of the child a unit.
7. Improves school conditions,
increases school apparatus, and
reforms school sanitation.
Last Friday afternoon about
30 of the school patrons met at
the High School room and Or
ganized a Baxter Parent Teacher
Association. Mrs. A. L. Ying-
ling presented the work as 4 rep
reseutatiVe of the National Con-
gress of Mothers and made an
appeal for a deeper, more vital,
active interest on the part of par
ents in the growth and develop
ment Of the child. Her address
was appreciated by all who were
present. The association elected
the following officers:
Pres.-Mrs. r. c. Wear.
Vice Pres.-Mrs. Ed. COvey.
Vice Pres. Mrs. ]. B. Opper r
man.
Vice Pres.-Mrs. M. I. Nichols

School Notes.

The attendance during the
past week has been excellent.
The second semester opened
Jan. "a. A new class in general
science in the high chool has be-
gun work.
Thursday and Friday of this
week the S. E. K. T. Associati on
will meet at Coffeyville. 1t may
be of interest to know that not
only teachers, but club women,
high school students, prospective
teachers, parents and profession
al men, will be welcome at Coffey-
vile, and that this is 4 fine OPP
portunity to see and hear Helen
Keller at a trifling cost. Prof.
Clark's lecture-recital of Ulysses;
Prof. Scott's lecture on Dickens
and the great music contest
should induce many who are not
actively engaged in the teaching
profession to take part in this
great meeting.
Mr.. C. II. Smith, a member Of
the Board of Education, visited
the various grades last week. On
Friday morning he gave 4 very
appropriate address on educatiOn'
al preparedness to the pupils of
the high school. He spoke of
the many schools as 4 long chain
aud each grade a link in the
chain. He encouraged each to
be we'll prepared for the work
that they might take up in life.
Thoroughness in the grades was
especially emphasized. He placed
orderly conduct above book know
ledge and urged all to remember
that character building Is the
most vital business in which We
are engaged.
