One OF the conspicuous accomplish
ments Of this year which took the
time, thought and energy for months
of some of the Associations best work
ers was the establishing of Cafe
terra. This move had double pur.
pose; to meet a distinct need in the
community and to insure an income
which would form fund toward the
building or buying Of real commune

separate organization was started
a stock company was formed, and in
May the thing was accomplished.
From the day that the doors n the
Cafeteria were opened, 1t was recog-
n.zed that great need had been met,
and that the meeting Of 1t was apprec-
lated By the time 1t was well start
ed, however, it was also recognized
that it must be strictly business
proposition, and that it would be bet
ter in every way for the Welfare As
ISOLATION to withdraw entirely any
claims on its earnings. It's Council
accordingly voted on July 18th to sew
er all connection with the Cafeteria
corporation. The Community House
fund, therefore, is no nearer realiza.
ticn than it was year ago, but the
Cafeteria, which is certainly con.
tributing TO the interests OF the com.
munity, nevertheless stands as mon
ument to the Public Welfare Associ-
alton.
The vacancy made by the resigna
ton in July Of Miss Hazel Work, who
followed Miss Jacobson as Recreation
Supervisor, was flied at once by Miss
Anne Wallace. an experienced recrea.
ton leader who had just given up her
work in Norfolk. Va. Through her

Wallace knew Bennington and Ben

engaged for Bennington.
Her recommendation had prepared
us for her efficiency, and from the
time of her arrival, the multitudinous
problems began to look less weighty
and things began to straighten them

Other reports will show the effect
of her presence; what is perhaps the
greatest service she has rendered the
Association so far is the preparing OF
definite program for the coming
year. AS this program is fuller than
any before undertaken here, it is more
expensive, and alongside Of this, with
the help of the Finance Director, she
has prepared budget to meet the re

PLAYGROUND

The Playground was taken ever by
present director on July 18th and a
regular program Of activities made out
and followed as closely as POSSIBLE
For example a typical day was as fol
lows:
1870 to 200 opening and cleaning
up of playground.
200 to 2:10 flag raising, flag salutet
and song.
2;10 to 2.30 physical development
drill.
2.S0 to $3.50 open play,
$3.50 to AIS clay modelling, sewing
and deaf collections
AIS o 500 yolley ball and base ball.
The evening program was planned
for the older boys and girls with spec
ial emphasis on tennis and volley ball
instruction. The older boys and men
played baseball untiringly.
We should like to mention especial
ly the popularity of the evening hours
on the playground. The attendance
was as large and OTTER larger than in
the afternoons. Many pleasant hours
of singing, sometime with the ukulele
accompaniment, sometimes without,
were enjoyed by the young employed
men and women, not to mention the
periodic campfres and marshnallow
toasts that somehow bring to the sur
face latent social instincts.
An effort was made to instill in all
the boys and girls a sense of respon-
sibility for the conduct of themselves
and others, in regard to the use OF pro
fame language, fairness in play, care
of the equipment, etc. and it was most
gratifying to the director to hear the
older boys and girls correcting i'm
proper language among themselves.
There has been scarcely any ianitor
service at the playground this season
and the boys and girls have been won,
derfully helpful in doing everything
they could to help meet this need,
To return to program special fea-
ture was planned for each Of the siS
weeks the playground was open.
There were two parties given by
James C. Colgate with an average at
| tendance Of three hundred, an auto
ride for about ESQ, dress-up party
when the youngsters appeared in all
sorts of queer costumes and an anna
tuer vaudeville performance that in
cluded singing, speaking and drills,

Report Of the secretary j the Council

Report of the Secretary Of the Council
In the 1919 reports of the secretar.
les Of the several departments three
outstanding needs were emphasized
over and over. The first was for an
executive secretary to head up the
work of all the committees andto give
her entire time to the furthering Of
the work of the Welfare Association;
the second was fer the formation Of
more girls clubs, and the third, the
need of a Community Center where
the varied activities of the Associa-
tion could be CARED on.
That these needs have been met in
part or in full is a source of gratifica-
tion to the Council and Board OF Direc-
tors, and the fulfilling of them furnish
the high lights OF this years report.
The purpose OF our organization is
the promotion OF the general inter
ests of the community and the vel
fare of its people," The interests
of the community are many and yari-
ed. No one person had the time nor
strength to attend to them all and
carry en- his or her regular affairs. In
1919, 10 departments were promoting
the work of the Association, the neces
sity for more was evident, and the di-
rectors of those already existing we're
crying for help in making theirs more
effective We had gone as far as we
could with volunteer work and limited

supervised by the director of recrea-
ltion. In connection with this super
vision the teachers Of these grades
will meet the director for instruction
and demonstration one hour each week.
Every effort will be made to have
the school part of the program OF
1.-THE highest possible standard.
One evening each week will be given
to social dancing and instruction and
There will be the customary Saturday
afternoon class for children. Each
month, two evenings wiltsbe. devoted
to dramatics and athletics for employ
ed girls and two evenings TO orches-
ira and a commounity chorus. The
/ first Friday of each month will be
! Community Night, a time when the
adults OF the village who do not care
to dance can come together in the
spirit of neighborliness and pass a
pleasant evening with games music,
stunts and dramatics.
Clubs have already been started tor
THE younger girls and some of the
girls in business. These will hold
regular meetings in the club rooms
in the Hawks building. Every effort
will be made to extend both the mem
Ibership of these clubs and to organize
new club. for employed girls. This
is almost an untouched field and is
practically unlimited in its possibili-
ties for development.
Through the cooperation Of the Y,
NJ. c, A., arrangements have been
made to continue the use of the build
ing one night each week for girls.
Activities here will include basket
ball pool, bowling and other games.
This opportunity to use a regular gym
nasium is a great boon to the work
of the assoc cation and forecasts the
great benefit that viii come when
Bennington is ready to establish a
Community House with its own gym
nasium and all the other desirable
facilities. lt
There will also be the usual com
munity celebrations, special dramatics
and summer playground with the aim
hat each year shall be an improve
lnent over the proceeding. The eX
tent to which this program can be
carried out depends on the willing
mess OF the people to share the res
possibility of work, guarantee the
budget and attend the activities. Pres
ent indications are that all that is
needed for the success OF the WORK
will be forthcoming.
As stated in the beginning, the worE
| in the immediate future is not expect
| ed to be OF spectacular variety, Th'
hope is that it will be a development
of steady growth and will come more
and more to supply the recreationa
Ilneeds of the community that the as

PROSPECTS REMAIN
GOOD FOR THE BEST
SCHOOL YEAR YET
Superintendent Caplinger Makes His
Monthly Statement to the Parents
Of Maysyille's School Children,

City Superintendent Caplinger has
issued this statement on local school
conditions:
We are giving out today the Honor
Roll for the second month. Many OF
the little fellows have failed to make
the Honor Roll standing because of
measles and some few cases Of scar
let fever. ~The attendance in the High
School is greater than that of any Oc-
tober in the history of the city except
1917.
l wish to call attention again to the
necessity for home study of at least
two hours for High School students.
There is no especial need of home
study below the Third Grade.
The discipline the past month has
been much better in the High School
owing to the following rules concern
ing demerits:
The grade in department will be
determined according to the following
schedule:
Demerit or less, Grade A.
3 Demerits or less. Grade A..
5 Demerits or less, Grade B.
Demrits or less, Grade B..
8 Demerits or less, Grade c.
Unexcused tardiness or detention
room sentence, counts as one demerit
A student who receives deport-
ment grade lower than c will be sus-
pended.
We trust that the parents will no
tice these and endeavor to keep In
touch with what their children are
doing.
At the last meeting Of the Board, af-
ter being informed that number of
children came to the school buildings
from o'clock on, the Board, upon the
advice Of the Superintendent, made
the ruling that the buildings are to
be opened for children at 8 O'Clock
which Is thirty minutes before school
begins. We trust that the parents will
observe this ruling and will not per-
NIT children to come to the school
buildings as such an early hour as
number Of them have been doing.
Thirty minutes before the opening Of
school affords ample time for children
TO roam about the school building.
repeat my statement Of last month
that IL we may conclude from present
conditions, we can safely say that
Maysville will have the most success
full school year that she has ever had.
One of the things that Makes Mays
vile good school town" Is the fact
OF the cooperation given by citizens
and patrons of the school. We are
asking continuance Of this coopera-
tion and assuring you that with your
help Maysville schools will be second
10 none.
