Association Function

|. The meeting of the Parent-Teach-
ers' Association held at the High
School building last Thursday even
ing was largely attended, about one
hundred and fifty parents being pres
ent.
The meeting was called to order
about 7.30 p. m. by the president,
Mrs. J. Pearre Wantz In her open
ing address Mrs Wantz spoke of the
aims and purposes of the association,
and pointed out the value of such an
organization in bringing about bet
ter understanding between the par
ents and those having charge of the
management of the schools.
Master Haslup Hagermen, pupil
of the seventh grade, in the Westmin-
Ster School, sang a solo to the great
delight of the audience
DR.. H. M. FitZhugh then delivered
an address upon the subject of health
conservation in the public schools.
This was followed by discussion of
the question whether it would be
advisable at this time to adapt the
plan of medical examination in the
public schools. Mrs. J. Edgar Myers
stated what had been done along this
line in the New Windsor school, This
question will be taken up at a future
meeting of the Association, and it is
hoped that all who are interested in
this important matter will be present
and state their views upon the ques-
ton.
Prof. M. S. H. Unger then addressed
the Association upon the needs of the
public schools of Westminster, and
of the schools of the county in gen.
eral. He presented statistics showing
the rapid gradual increase in school
attendance within the past five or six
years, and called attention to the
fact that the greatest increase oc-
Cured in the larger town schools.
This condition, Mr.. Unger believed
to be due to the desire on part of peo-
pie in the country for better school
facilities than are possible under
present conditions. He also said that
the funds available from both county
and state are not sufficient to meet
the necessary increase in school ia
cilities, and that if the schools are
to increase in efficiency, some means
of increasing the school revenue must
be found.
Rev. Edgar T. Read spoke upon the
purpose of the "four-minute men" and

Lfbertr Loan Campaign at the High
School.

During the Liberty Loan campaign
last week a meeting of the students
of the High School was held for the
purpose of interesting the pupils IN
this patriotic movement. 1t was Sug-
gested by one of the teachers that 1t
would be a fine thing to ask each pu-
pil to make a small contribution to-
ward buying a Bond which should be
the property of the High School, and
the income from which should an
nually be turned into the School I'm
provement Fund. Acting upon this
suggestion, the principal asked each
teacher in charge of room to re
ceiye contributions for this purpose
in sums not exceeding % cents per
pupil. Within twenty-four hours af-
ter the meeting the sum of $57.6 had
been raised, and a $4,000 Bond was
Immediately purchased for the school
through the Union National Bank.
For sometime the school has been
desirous of securing flag pole TO De
planted on the lawn in front or the
school At the regular weekly assem-
bly, held on Friday morning. OCTOBER
26, it was decided to devote the bal
ance remaining from the Bond FUND
to this purpose A pole has already
been secured and will be raised short
ly. The school has a new flag and
after the pole has been placed into po-
sition, the flag will be raised every
morning, and lowered each evening
in accordance with the custom pre-
vailing at all army posts.
A number of Liberty Bonds were
purchased individually by High School
pupils, parents, and teachers, and it
is believed that the advertisement
given the movement by the school was
responsible for some of these pur-
chaseS
