Chance For the Teachers and Parents To Get Better Acquainted
 At Meeting

A crowded house at the Elks audi torium Thursday night paid proper tribute to our local society of An- ericans, and every one present car ried away higher ideals of our coun- try and it's institutions.
 Attention of the people of Juneau is now called to the next public gathering which should be of inter- est to every citizen, and that is the meeting to be held in the auditorium of the Public Schools on next Tues lay evening, December 16, under the auspices of the Parent Teachers As sociation, which was recently formed here.
 The great slogan of our country today is 100 per cent American. This can be most effectually reached through the correct training of the American youth in the public schools of our land.
 To gain this end therefore, there must be a greater knowledge on the part of every citizen as to the system of public schools. With the object of assisting in disseminating this
 knowledge the Juneau Parent Teachers Association was formed and have arranged to devote one evening each month to public meetings where citizens-especially parents, may
 meet and discuss public school prob lens, as well as become acquainted with the teachers in whose hands the youths of Juneau have been placed for instruction.
 Have you ever personally visited our public schools and personally
 met the teacher of your individual
 child?
 Are these teachers giving to your
 child the best of instruction? Are we getting full value for the $75,000 we have invested in our school building?
 These, and many more, questions are vital to us as Americans and as citizens of Juneau. In order that the evening may be entertaining as well as instructive, the committee for next Tuesday evening has pre- pared program of vocal and instru-
 mental music which will be most en- tertaining Miss Kelso. a teacher in the public schools and one of Ju- neau's most talented musicians will render a piano solo. MT Harlan and Mir Partridge, two members of the quartette who rendered such enter taining music last Thursday, will sing
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-12-15

a duet. The Girls Glee Club of the Public School will render slections.
 The topic for discussion during the evening will be how to gain "A bet ter acquaintance of the patrons with the teachers and with the plans and methods of the school" Mrs. James H. Condit will give a paper on this subject from the parents viewpoint while Mrs Muricl Lans will speak from the teachers viewpoint.
 The speaker of the evening, how. ever, will be MT Chas W. Hawkes. worth. No one should miss hearing this educator who has done so much for the school life of Alaska
 Let's carry our Americanism into our public schools-one of Americas s greatest institutions.
 Let's attend whether parents or not
 Let's pack the auditorium next Tuesday night.

 It is hardly necessary to say that this proposal did not appeal to the seeing mind of President Lincoln. But Mexico has Lincoln.

 In times like these when alleged be conspring against the institutions of all governments Ill all parts of the world behooves every lover of organized sorety look deeply into every that inquire whether the is for the good of the many for the profit of the few.
