attractive so that it was possible for
the years work to begin promptly
on time.
Under the able direction of Profes-
sor Rogers and his body of earnest
and well-qualified assistants, an ex-
cellent system of study has been
established and the boys and girls
have indicated their eagerness to
make this their most successful
year. But cooperation between teach
er and student is not all that is nee
essary toward the accomplishment
of our purpose. The interest and
support of these students parents
is urgently desired and requested.
Some years ago, the Parents-Teach-
ers Association was organized as a
means of keeping in vital touch with
the work our children are doing and
the progress they are making. To
this end, meetings are held monthly
for the discussion of pertinent topics
which should, and do. prove alike
helpful to teacher, parent and pupil
Each year, these gatherings increaze
in popularity and demonstrate more
and more their growing Importance
to the whole scheme of education
But we are not entirely satisfied yet
We want, not a few, not many, but
all of the parents to lend their assist
ance to the cause.
Since education is by far the most
valuable legacy we can bequeath to
those that come AFTER it Is certain
that none of US would consciously
leave anything undone which might
make for its betterment; therefore
we are sending out an appeal to every
mother and father to come and take
an active part in the work of the
organization: to aid in practical
way, the teachers who are helping
us to make men and women of our
youth. Always important, the move
ment is emphatically so at this acute
period of the worlds history.
These meetings are in no sense
of the word dry or tiresome. They
are pleasurable, stimulating and
profitable. No relative subject is
barred, but welcomed. Whether in
the nature of complaint, question or
matter for general discussion, par
ents are invited to speak frankly
In this way, many Of the misconcep-
lions formed through lack of I'M
Outstanding, may be set right; new
policies adopted; old methods read
justed. In an atmosphere of har-
mony, the best school-work is achiev-
ed; and this is what we are anxious
to stablish-through a mutual get
to- gether' spirit.
At this years initial meeting of
the association, quite a number Of
suggestions along the foregoing lines
