Parent Teachers Meet
Miss Cummings And Mrs. Lockwood
Address The Gathering Oh In
teresting Subjects

The Parent Teachers Association
held a most interesting meeting IN
the Lee School building. on Friday
afternoon. Many very interesting
talks were heard from the members.
The association has shown a marked
awakening in the past few months,
and will, if present plans are carried
out, do much for the betterment OF
the school system in this city.
Miss Helen n. Cummings, director
of the Federated Clubs of Virginia,
addressed the meeting and said in
substance. If educators fail to de-
liberately exercise the child in habitual
moral conduct, they fail altogether.

Following Miss Cummings talk,

its next session.
In addition to other business taken
up at this meeting, it was decided that
a large auditorium should be provided
in the proposed new school building.
Il was. stated that the need for this
was made clear in the statement that
in The four schools IN the city there
is but one auditorium, that in the

students Of Washington and Lee
Sch,o gathered with their parents
to observe Fire Prevention Week not
long ago.
They also made a resolution that as
the High School had organized a Glee
Club, that>a club OF a similar nature
to be known as the Washington Schoo!
Glce Club should be organized at
Washington School at once. Mrs.
George Pickett has volunteered to
take personal charge Of this club and
to direct its performances. 1t was
also decided that too much praise

doing is Of a purely voluntary nature
and Of a most beneficial sort.

1T PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
(Eror, the Mornapto,up po,th

AT this time of year thousands of
boys and girls who are completing
various stages of their education
are asking themselves these Ques-
tons: Shall l continue my educa.
ton by entering high school? Shall
| complete my high school course?
Shall | enter college. or shall
continue in college? Will it pay to
go on with my education, or should
| get out and begin to earn some
money?
In the last few days students in
the Morgantown public schools
have been urged to continue their
education not only through high
school but through college. To these
students have been pointed out the
superior advantages Of the trained
man in earning money, in attaining
distinction and in filing places of
extended usefulness.
This is highly valuable service,

Mothers. | am earnestly pleading
with YOU to keep your daughters off
the street, and do not wait until
they get into trouble, and the law
enforcers before you realize they
are going wrong. Do not let your
daughter run the streets while you
are at the show or lodge, or sitting
home reading a novel.
You are responsible for your chill.
dren when they come into the world,

them the right training.
You should see that your daugh-

her to entertain her friends at

Be your daughters companion,
keep her at home with you, and
take her out with you in the even
ing. Do not let her run the streets

morning, and, l am sure she will
save you many a heart ache.
