local council, in an address before the
seventeenth annual convention yester-
day
Mrs. Phelps would not only have rep
resentation on the program at teachers
conventions but would have the asso-
citation recognize the Parent-Teachers
organization as a operative body.
THE Parent-Teacher association
cooperation would lie in getting to the
people the plans of the state educators,
and their views on educational legisla-
ton said Mrs. Phelps
She suggested that a committee be
appointed to confer with authorities of
the state university to create through
the general extension department
sympathetic cooperation throughout
the state in parent-teacher work" THIS
idea was embraced in one of the reso
buttons passed by the congress yester-
day when representatives of the q or
CARNATIONS of the state held their an
nual meeting.
Meet at High School
The session was held in the west
wing of the high school auditorium, the
greater part of the day being given
over to reports and matters of business.
The election of officers occupied but a
few moments as it was agreed before

of Clemenceau be chosen president. The
remaining members of the executive
board who were also elected by a

Business methods must be adopted if
| the congress is to have a future, de-
clared Mrs. Phelps who's also recon-
mended that the men become more in
terested in the activities of the organi-
zation and that their membership be
enlisted.
The speaker also suggested more
uniform program for the different az
soeiations affiliated with the Congress
of Mothers.
TRY home legislation first and let
state legislation be the last resort said
troduced as the speaker on 'Legisla-
ton"
Laws Should Be Changed
! If more care were exercised in the
! home and attention paid home laws
| there would be less need of state legis-
/
the opinion of the speaker the law
making system should be changed to
allow a longer time between the time
of election and the date the legislature
! convenes to give the members time to
study the needs of the state.
| eff you do not think the pictures be-
| ing shown are fit for children, keep
| them away and we viii thank you J..

the mothers during the course of his
talk on Picture Progression" He
promised that in the future when a

Mr.. Richards devoted much of his
| talk 10 the censorship feature claiming
that the public was the only fair and
/ just censor.
