A Leader Needed in Many a Place.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin,
September Is, 1922.

Many city school districts have
parent-teacher associations, but there
are too few of these organizations in
the rural sections of Wisconsin.
Why not?
One great American authority on
school problems says that in most
cases the school district with parent
teacher organization has good school
because the people living 10 it care
what happens TO their school They
get together and talk over school pro
0lems and consult with the teachers
as to the best remedy for any evils
discovered
Many teacher who was not sue
cessfnlin teaching certain children
has found ont how to do better because
of information furnished by the
parents.
On the other hand, many parent
has learned how to cooperate with
the teacher only after having become
we'll acquainted with her. Many a
misunderstanding between parents
and teachers has been ironed out after
the parents obtain the teachers view
and reasons for action.
Why not parent-teacher associations
IN every school district The country
districts with the poorest schools
frequently need tins help the most.

gent, puhlic-spirited woman to take

MILLER MYSTIFIES MONROE.

MILLER MYSTIFIES MONROE.
How Monroe came to score that
lone tally off Charley Miller Monday
will always remain mystery. Mil
Ter had enough STUFF on that old
agate to shut out the New York
Yanks, and he had it under such per-
feet control that he could have zip
ped 1t through the hole in one of
Red" Roberts doughnuts nineteen
times out Of every twenty tries.
Brokhaven won. 10 to 1, and the
one-sidedness of the game was made
up for in the many peculiar items
OF interest that sprinkled along thru
out the game For instance, Mayors
walked UP to the plate four times
and Magers crossed the plate. four
times with as many tallies. Hunni-
cutt, who follows Magers at bat, laid
down four as perfect bunts as were
ever spilled from bat. Three of
them went as sacrifice hits, and the
fourth as single, as Monroe was
unprepared for the play and failed
to field the ball until after "Honey"
reached first. Then there was the
fact that Joe Untz sticks around the
hot corner for the full nine frames
and only gets one opportunity to
touch the ball.
There is nothing out of the ordi-
nary in Brookhaven making ten
runs, and there's no need of going
into details. They made 'em in the
same old way-fancy base-running,
and timely hitting.
