.PARENT-TEACHER
ASSOCIATION PLANS
New System Of Government
Considered at Delaware
City Meeting.

Delaware City, Jan. IA new sye-
tenn Of government, consisting Of a
board of managers and an executive
committee, for the State Parent Teacher
Association, which has grown during
the past year TO an organization of 178
associations, was proposed yesterday,
at the all-day annual meeting Of the
executive board, which was held at the
home Of Mrs. William Is. Jester, in
Delaware City. Representatives from
all sections Of the State were present.
The new constitution hae been found
necessary because Of the size of the asso-
citation. At present the executive board,
which comprises the presidents of each
branch association, is too large, with its
lis members, to govern the organiIa-
ton in simple and systematic manner.
Copies of the constitution proposed
yesterday, which WAS formed after
mueh consideration by a committee
headed by Mrs Garrett Harrington Of
Harrington, will be mailed to each Of
the State associations, and the matter
will be finally voted upon at the annua
convention, which, il was announced
will be held at Harrington in May. A
definite date will be selected by the presi
dent, Mrs. John B. Cleavcr Of Middle
town.
At tie convention, election of Stat
officers for two-year terms will taxi
place. A nominating committee L
select candidates for offices was ap
pointed yesterday 1t comprises Mis-
Eta Wilson Of Newark, Mrs. Harlan
Waller OF Delmar, Mrs. Ehaabeth''L
Nutter of Milford, Mrs. Samuel Eteil
OF Laurel and Mrs. George II. Wiggin o
| Townsend.
Mrs. Milton G. Higgins Of Worcester
MASS, national president Of the Parent
Teacher Association, also of the Con
gress Of Mothers, was the speaker OF tn
day She was much impressed by tn
growth of the organization in Delaware
She spoke Of its power for good in
community. The school, in fact, sh
said should be the radiating center G

ffo1med in all but nine States of tn
union, makes every parent in a com
Nmuni,y feel that he is responsible for hi

Made Off In Automobile.

Brookhaven.-The safe and store Of
the Bolian Mercantile company at
Bogue Chitto were robbed OF more
than $4,000 in Liberty bonds, $1,000
worth of merchandise an dover $500 In
cash. The robbers broke two locks on
the store doors, broke open the vault
and dynamited the safe. The robbery
was evidently the work of experienced
cracksmen. The large quantity of
silks and other goods carried away in
dicated that an automobile or truck
was used.
The business section Of Bogue Chit.
to is detached from the residence sec
ton, and though the conclusion Of the
dynamite was felt it did mot arouse any
one to investigate. 1t was not until
the store was opened at the usual
hour that'the robbery was discovered.
The doors had been closed by the bur
glars and those who were early an the
street failed to note anything unusual
in the appearance Of the store. A re-
ward is offered for the apprehension
of the safeblower.

Horse Doesn't Enlov .I.,,r.

Bill has had old Tom for nineseen
years. The horse was given to Bill by
his father for Bill to drive when he
started going to town to high school
every day. Bill figures the horse must
be past twenty-five years old, but he's
always had a lot Of love and good
care and he's a hearty old thing for
his years.
But he can't work In the fields any
more. Last year Bill put him In on
some Of the lighter work just to sat
isfy him, but he was no help and the
other horses bit at him.
He's on pasture now, and he walks
up and down the fence all day fol-
lowing Bill and his outfit In the other
field, whinnying and Just breaking
his old heart to see the young horses
there under the guidance and the
voice of the only man old Tom ever
loved.
1t seems too bad, doesn't It, that a
man or horse or any living thing
should work so long and so hard and
when The easy days come, instead Of
rolling around In the blue grass, and
enjoying life, the poor old creature
just spends his days grieving for the
work he's free from?-Farm Life.
