Mrs. Cleaver also made a short ad-

the country.
Mrs. Cleaver said reports of the
work of Parent-Teacher Associations !,
in Honolulu, Mexico, South America,
Japan and India, were received at
the Tacoma meeting. She said that
she was proud of the fact that Della j,
ware stood first among the States in
membership according to population
and that Delaware got much recogni-
tion from that fact. She paid trib-
ute to the Delaware State Board of :
Education for its cooperation with
the State Parent-Teacher Association
and the individual associations. Mrs.
Cleaver said there are 230 associa- l
tions in the State and that committed
to one definite program these associa-
tions cannot fail to make great head
way the coming year.
Miss Eta J. Wilson, chairman, pre-
sented the report and suggestions of {
the program committee. The out
standing feature of this report is that {
concerted effort is to be made to
bring about unifcation of the work
among the various associations as it s
is felt that by this method the work
can be pushed ahead much more rap t
idly and more can be accomplished for i
the school children of the State. The
educational opportunities to be found
in the rural communities were pointed
out.
A report of the morning session of
the body was printed in this paper last
week.
