pills, asked that an interest be taken in
the basket ball games. and other ath-
letic exercises for the development of the
mind and body. A committee was ap-
pointed to provide ways and means for
the instalment of much needed library
in the schools All good books donated
will be acceptable. As the meetings are
not attended as well as they should be,
the president suggested that they be held
in the evening instead Of the afternoon.
The idea met with approval and a COM
mttee appointed to prepare a program
for the next meeting to be held in the
town hall. It is earnestly desired that
every parent attend these meetings and
get in touch with the work. We want
your ideas, your sympathy and your
support. We want to study the child,
what he can do and when, an what be
can finally grow to, in the training of
his senses and muscles. Efficiency and
common sense will direct many wise
movements if the parents will cooperate
with the teachers. Come out and at
tend the meetings.
