Association Needed
That Pennington needs parent
teachers association in order TO
bring about closer relation be-
tween the high school teachers
and the parents Of the pupils is
the growing belief among the citi-
zens Of the town. arlington has
an up to date high school in al
most every respect, but In this
one field It is entirely behind the
times. There are relatively few
occasions during the entire school
year when the parents have an
opportunity to meet the teachers
or when the teachers have an op-
portuntty to meet the parents. To
get the maximum efficiency out
of the SCHOOL work, or the home
work either, ut Is necessary that
there be cooperation between the
parents and the teachers. But II
they are strangers to each other,
It Is clear that there can be no
cooperation, and In many cases
complete misunderstanding is
likely to occur.
Other towns the size Of Farm.

teachers associations and there is
no reason why Pennington should

ment Is entirely in favor OF such
an organization Is evidenced by
the number Of times the topic Is
discussed around the firesside
gatherings In the local stores. All
that IS now needed Is someone to
step into the leadership and to is
