nome Ia Mankato Tuesday evening,
Several people in the city and
community who are interested in
school affairs have expressed wonder
that the school board have not ar
ranged for teachers reception this
reception is about the only way manse
of the parents have of getting ac-
quainted with the teachers and there
cannot be no CO operation between
the teacher and parents unless they
are acquainted. No doubt there
are several private receptions that
either have been given Ior will be IN
the near future for the teachers, but
that only gives them a chance Of get
ting acquainted with only a small
proportion in the district, and they
only selected few. 1t has been
said that a statement has been mazda
that there is no place at the hfgH
school building to serve IL recep-
Con was given, and 1t is for that
reason that there has been nothing
done. That statement is no doubt
the outcome of sore spot OF former
years for receptions have been gwen
at the High School building for the
teachers every year as long as the
or two exceptions, and the serving
was done then very nicely and no
one seemed to complain because OF
the crowded quarters, so for that rea-
SON the majority of the people within
the district feel that serving could
pc done just as well this year as In
former years as they would be no
more crowded for room now than
Tor former years. II the serving Is
hot
the way of reception, that part
could be easily left out and no one
would miss it, and instead get up
nice program that could be easily
supplied from the excellent taIent IN
the city and district, then give the
teachers an honorary place at the
meeting followed by general hand
shake and get acquainted SOCIAL
time. The w. c. T. U. have had
building during the summer and
have always had large crowds. but
cever SO large but what places could
be- found for few more, and If the
same rules were followed as for for
mer teachers reception there would
be enough room for all who wished
to come, and there isn't much doubt
but what the parents would be eager
Tor the chance to get acquainted
with the teacher Of their children.
The next regular meeting of the
w. G.. T. U. will be held at the
nome Of Mrs. Evan s. Jones Friday
November 18th.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Olson, Harry
OLSON and Mrs. c. Godfrey visited
