Teachers Meeting

Every mother who has a child

to be present at three o'clock Tues.

cordially invited, also every teacher
that can find it convenient to come

Some reasons why parents asso-
Citations are worth while:
l Home and school are the two
great agencies in the education OF
the child; their aims are idenical
neither can work effectively in
Ignorance to the other.
2 Certain problems arise in the
school which teachers should not
be Obliged to decide Where par
ent-Teacher organizations exist
the responsibility Is readily placed
Upon the parent.
3 The intelligent demand of
school patrons for Improvement of
any sort will often meet with at
tention from Boards of education
where that of teachers is ignored
4 A childs loyalty to the
school is almost invaribly a pro-
duct of home understanding
5 A fixed and regular date of
meeting is a saving of time for
both parent and teacher Til e
latter can present a problem or
explain point as quickly to fifty
parents as to one. The former can
be sure of getting the desired in.
formation without intrusion.
6 A ready means of suggestion
from trained teachers to under
trained parents is provided; one
day each month when parents

discussion containing valuable
hints for the nome.

CENTRAL M. E. CHURCH HOLDS
VERY INTERESTING SERVICES
Different Department Superintendent
Make Good Reports.

An unusually interesting program
was had at the Central M. E. church
last evening, when Rev. L. A. Hill, the
pastor, announced that he would have
the heads of the different departments
tor the church activities make their re-
port to the entire congregation. In
behalf of the Sunday schools, Supt. R.
J. Prentiss made the encouraging
statement that more than 800 pupils
were the average attendance of his
classes in the church auditorium, and
that the Adult Bible class, which
meets at the Carnegie hall, had reached
100 in numbers, all active business men
of the city. Mr.. E. K. Farmer, in be-
half of the Adult Bible class made an
interesting statement of the work of
Lhis class, having for its object. the
gathering of men for the study of the
Bible and the development of more
brotherly interest in the affairs of
their neighbors and for the betterment
of moral conditions in general. Miss
Minola Bryant, juvenile class leader.
presented her class which rendered
song very beautifully. Mr.. w. r.
Bowen, chairman of the Board of
Stewards, expressed his appreciation
for the splendid cooperation given the
Board by the members in the business
conduct of the, affairs of the church.
and also to the members Of his Board
for their untiring efforts in making
TIE work Of the clurcl, theirs and illus
adding a pleasant duty to the hum
drum of life that men persue when
their own selfish ends are their sole
inspiration. Mr.. John Yates for the
Epworth League gave the congrega-
ton an insight of the ambitious pro-
gram that the members of that So
ciety have mapped out for themselves
and alos gave concrete figures as to
what already is being done by his soci
ETY. Miss Helen Matthews for the |
juvenile league, had also words of
praise for the faithful work being
done by her boys and girls, constitut-
ing the younger branch of active
workers. Mrs. R. ]. Prentiss, for the
Woman's Missionary society, of the
church reported on the work of her
society and the important part they
played in the life of the church. Mr.. |
J. A. Mathis, is the newly elected sec
rotary for the church, read the Treas
urer's report which showed a salts
factory condition of the finances of |
the church. Rev. Hill at the close of |
the statements above called on DR.. A. |
). Ford, for the critical analysis of the !
church, in the light of the reports pre-
sented and the doctor proved by his |
careful remarks that he had allowed |
no important reference to escape his |
attention. One of the interesting fea-
lures OF the evening were the i'm
promptu, remarks of the Rev. 7. L. |
Ware, whose enthusiasm was aroused
by the good reports of the different
departments. The Central M. z. |
church has added 81 members since
the arrival of the new pastor, as was
reported during the evening.
