instrumental solo by Miss Nc
Elroy, who is a favorite at New
port. Address, B. l.. Black, sub
ject, Parents-Teachers Associa-
tions. This organization is do
ing much good at Newport. 1t
helps to bring teacher and par
ent in closer relation and it
also helps to encourage and
stimulate a school spirit in the
community. A teacher may
have ever so much enthusiasm
IN her work and unless she has
the sympathy and cooperation
of the parents her efforts will
be neutralized more or less.
Mr.. Black emphasized the i'm
portance of these meetings.
Address by Prof. Artman,
principal of the school. Mr..
Artman said the teacher did not
need any sympathy. She had a
great work to perform-the des-
tiny of the nation was in her
hands. What she needed was
equipment and the rest would
follow. The teachers already
have the school spirit and a
deep interest in the welfare of
the pupils. If the teacher hasn't
this spirit she should take up
some other calling or profess
sion. Mr.. Irwin spoke on the
splendid equipment of the
school and the great cost of
keeping 1t up. The domestic
science department, mechanical
hall and recitation rooms were
all well furnished with every
thing needed to aid the pupils
IN his work. Mr.. Irwin spoke
of the new and fine system OF
keeping the accounts of the
school so that anyone wanting
TO know how the money is
spent can examine the books
and find out In a little while.
The trustees without any COM
pensation are giving much OF

est in helping to build up and
make this the best school in the
county. Solo by Mrs. L. c.
