On Wednesday, September 81, the
Mothers Club, very active and help
full auxiliary of our schools, extended
its welcome to the teachers by giving
tea from four to six, in the Lpcoln
Building. A very pleasing program,
followed by delicious refreshments
and general visiting, gave a delightful
time to all those present
AT a general teachers meeting
called by Mr.. Kolb on Monday of this
week, the fact was emphasized that
Wauwatosa is indeed a growing city,
for sixty-one teachers now constitute
the teaching force of our public
schools, and, in proportion, this unit
indicates the almost phenomenal
growth of our schools within the past
five years. Wauwatosa can well be
proud of its schools, its teachers, its
students, and its parents, for no city
IN the state of equal size can boast of
better. After preliminary matters of
business were considered and general
directions given, it was decided by 4
majority vote that the unique plan
inaugurated last year of get-together
dinners, followed by a professional
hour, and that in turn by social
time, be continued this year.
At the first meeting of the Hi-Y
Club there was informal discussion of
the future plans and activities of the.
club. Mr.. McCreedy was chosen at
this meeting to be the club header for
this year. At the second meeting,
short talks were given by Milton
Smithyman, David Kuenzh, and Mil
ton Legler on the Hi-Y camp at Lake
Amy Belle. The banners for Hnoor
Table and Honor Cabin won by a
group of Wauwatosa boys at the camp
were displayed. Following these,
very inspiring and helpful talk was
given by Rev. F. G. Befner, on the
United Effort. The boys appreciate
having outside speakers come to them
and they hope that many such men
may be brought to them this year.
The Anna Copeland Club has begun
its second year of work with a mem
bership of thirty-five girls. The first
two meetings were given over to re-
ports on the conference at Lake Ge-
neva and the Y. w. C. A. camp at
Green Lake. The meeting last Tues
day was partly spent in making plans
to attend breakfast to be given at
the Grand Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal Church for the Bible clubs of the
city. Wauwatosa is the baby club and
we have been informed that it win
be the center of attraction. The re-
mainder of the meeting was taken up
by Ella Denniston in a talk on 'Mak-
ing and Keeping Promises" Recently
the club had social hour for the pur-
pose of having the lady teachers and
girls become better acquainted.
A banking or thrift system has just
been introduced throughout the schools
by means Of which it is possible for
every student to save little money
| by depositing in the bank every week
| any amount he wishes. The plan has
met with great enthusiasm so for,
and nearly 100 per cent deposit record
has been made in the high SCHOOL.
Cashiers have been appointed from
| each class to take charge Of the de-
posts, and the following We're chosen:
chairman of cashiers, Ruth Smithy-
man; cashiers: Pauline Martin, Dan
iel Kuenzi, Esther Garyens, Florence
Butler, Herman Kerst, and Florence
Kenney; assistant cashiers: Elizabeth

Wolcott, and Eleanor Davis. The
class which shows the largest number
of deposits and the fewest withdraw
ais for the semester will be awarded a
very beautiful silver loving cup, which,
however, can be retained only so long
as the class that wins it maintains its
record. Thus competition between
classes is stimulated and the habit of
thrift is encouraged and formed.
