.PARENT-TFACHERS
ASSOCIATION MEETS
PrOf. Shipman and Prof. Howell Make
Short TaIks-SeVeraI New
Members Added.

At meeting of the Parent-Teachers
association of Hendersonville, held in
the auditorium of the graded school
Friday afternoon it was decided to CO.
operate with the manager of the
Queen theatre to the end that
one day each week be set aside
as children's day on which pictures es-
pecially suitable for children would be
shown and to this the teachers and
mothers, pledged their support; adj
dresses were delivered by Prof. T. r.
Shipman of this city, and Prof. Harry
Howell, superintendent Of the Asheville
city schools. a
The president of the association. Mrs.
L. r, Barnwell, having resigned, Mrs J..
y brooks presided over the meeting
Which opened with the singing Of 'sOc-
tober Morn" by the pupils of the
second. grade. It. was decided to elect
a new president at the next regular
meeting. which has been changed to
the third Wednesday afternoon in each
month at 4 o'clock.
Prof. Shipman's address was on the
subject: Us it possible for a pupil to
make good in some subjects and to be
incapable of making good in other
subjects?" He handled this in a very
clear and forceful manner, and Prof.
Howell supplemented Mr.. Shipman's
remarks to the enlightenment of the
teachers and parents assembled. If a
pupil is backward in any of the ele-
mentary subjects he should be brought
up and the duty falls on the teacher.
The teacher must learn to put a motive
and purpose behind the school work
and any appeal to the student must be
made now and today. The subject
should be put before the pupil in an
attractive manner.
! Prof. Howell told the association that
one of it's first duties was to take stock
/ Of its needs and tackle the first thing
at hand. Among these he mentioned
beautifying the grounds around the
school building, serving hot lunches to
the pupils at cost and, a sanitary COM
mittee should be appointed He was of
the opinion that 100 or $50 women
banded together in an organization
like the Parent Teachers association
could with their determination accom-
! plish much.
| Mrs. Freeze, one Of the teachers told
| OF the need OF Jan1treSS at the school.
The president was authorized to ap-
point the chairmen of the various COM
! mittees. Little Miss Lena Briggs of
the seventh grade delighted the assem-
bly, with a pleasing recitation, and the
meeting closed by the singing of "My
Country 'Tis of Thee"
Mesdames Sam T. Hodges, George
Valentine, G. E. Brooks, Robert Free
man and Boiling added their names as
members of the association, bringing
the total W to about Is. The meeting
was largely attended and showed the
