IL is really too bad that the
mothers in this city don't give the
school teachers more cooperation.
A few years ago Parent-Teache'
associations were formed in ever,
school in the city. In the beginning
there was great enthusiasm, but
after a few meetings only ten o,
fifteen mothers would appear a
these sessions for the interest Of
their children. 1t finally became
necessary to discontinue meetings II
several of the schools because o.
lack of interest on the part of the
mothers and at the present tim,
No. 1 and No. Z schools are tn,
only schools in the city that car
boast of a Parent-Teacher Associa.
ton. If the mothers only realized
what it means to their children il
cooperating with the teachers in the
city they would have n hundred
per cent attendance at these meet
ings held each month.
The Rosary Society will resume
Itheir weekly card parties next week
the first one to be held in tht
Knights of Columbus home in High
