Bisbee daily review., 1917-12-02

The great good which may be ae-
complished for the child and for the
community through the earnest coop
GRAFTON of parent and teacher can only
be appreciated when one considers
what this organization is, and what it
stands for. Nowadays it is possible
for the smallest country one-room
school house to have its parent-teach-
ers' meetings and to study the same
subjects, have equally good speakers
and be as great a power for good as
the most modern school in the coun-
try. From the headquarters in Wash
ington. instructions are sent out TO
assist the associations in working for
the benefit of their own particular
needs.
There is a little one-room school
house out at the end of the Grand
canal and II miles or so from Phoe-
nix. Last spring, through the ef-
forts of parents and teachers-there
are only two teachers and not more
than Is families sending children to
school-the rough grounds about the
school house were leveled and fenced
and trees set out. Tennis courts were
marked off and a driveway made to
the school house. What money was
needed for lamps and fence wire was
raised by means of box socials and
the farmers contributed their teams
and labor gladly.
This is only a sample of what can
be done by parent-teachers' associa'
ticn in a small out-ofthe-way place.
In other places good roads, shade
trees. parks and so forth have been
the results of cooperation on the
part of parents and teachers. In Bis
bee more interest is needed and more
faith and cooperation.
