The Forest Avenue School was the
scene OF an enthusiastic body of earn
est women on Friday afternoon when
It's reception rooms were opened to a
meeting of the three Parent-Teacher
Associations of the city. The occasion
was a visit from Miss Gardner, Ma
tional Organizer of PIT. AS and the
organization OF the Council of Fed
Grated PIT. AS.
The Forest Avenue School building
with its spacious surroundings; the
day with its sunshine and bright
promises of spring were propitious
signs of the plans and interest of the
meeting. The parents and teachers
of the Forest Avenue School in the
most charming manner acted as hos
tesses. From the moment one enter
ed there were extended hands Of
greeting and welcome until one was
led into the most attractively deco
rated rooms. Cut flowers and pot
plants everywhere again reminded
one of the promise of spring and the
earth's awakening.
Mrs. Ross, who is our county organ
izer of PIT AS, opened the meeting
and in her usual efficient manner ex-
planned its purpose. The report of
the committee on the constitution was
made and the constitution adopted

troduced Miss Gardner. Fresh from
the National Educational Meeting at
Atlantic City, Miss Gardner was full
of enthusiasm for her work and spoke
on the growth of the PIT. AS. in i'm
portance and influence. At the close
of Miss Gardeners talk Mr.. Caplinger
expressed his pleasure over the re-

our Superintendent was wearing bore
evidence of the sincerity of his state
ment. Mr. Caplinger also called at
tention to the efforts the Chamber o.
Commerce is putting forth in war gar.
dens and solicited the aid of the PIT
