The Parent-Teacher Association
has for its object, "The united effort
of citizens, parents and teachers to
raise the standards of home and
school life and especially to study the
child in all its relations and to work
for its highest development" It is
and should be essentially a child
study circle.

supposedly in the prime of life were

Compromise Reservations Differ
Slightly From Bipartisan
Agreement.
EIGHT NOTIFICATIONS
Preamble Provides That Acceptance
BY Other Powers Will Not Be
Required Questions Are
Ready for Debate.

Washington.-The Peace treaty re-
servati0ns as revised tentatively in re-
cent unofficial bipartisan compromise
conferences were formally presented
in the Senate by Senator Lodge for
consideration when the treaty comes
up in few days.
The notifications do not agree en-
tirely with the draft which Democratic
members Of the bipartisan committee
have said were tentatively agreed on.
Eight Of the IA reservations would
be modified under Senator Lodges
proposal, and the preamble would be
changed so that affirmative acceptance
by the other powers would not be re-
quired. Four Of the remaining six res
ervations we're accepted by the Demo
cratic conferees without change, the
Republicans on the committee say.
Slight changes were made in Article
10.
The four on which it was said no
agreement was reached, but in which
changes are proposed in the draft sub
mitted relate to Hithdrawal, voting
power in the league, expenses of the
league and the economic boycott.
The withdrawal reservation Senator
Lodge proposed to modify so that no.
tice Of withdrawal from league men,
bership may be given by the Presi-
dent or by Congress alone whenever a
majority of both houses may deem it
necessary" In the original draft
there was no mention of the President.
Under the Republican leaders,
change, the United States would refuse
to be bound by any decision of the
league in which Great Britain cast
more than one vote, until such time as
the covenant may be amended to give
an equality of voting strength among
the members.
Regarding league expenses, it is pro-
posed in the new draft that this c0un-
try can bear without congressional ap.,
preparation only its share in maintain
ing the "office force" of the secre-
tariat.
From the boycott reservation it is
proposed to strike out the original pro-
vision that commercial relations may
be continued with nationals of the COW
enant-breaking state who reside out.

"Mr. President-The demand for de.
