ASSOCIATION FORMED.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Monday
Night In High School, Surprise
Those Who Issued Call.
MEET AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT
At Which DR.. H. v. Holloway Will
Speak--AlI Parents, Bachelors
And Maidens Are Welcome.

A meeting was held last Monday ev-
ening in the high school auditorium in
Milford, which was in response to a
call issued to the parents and friends
of the children. The enthusiastic inter-
est displayed, was surprise to those
who called the meeting, while the ear
nestness shown to accomplish the pur-
poses aimed for, proclaims that the
work is going to rush forward with in
creasing speed during the ensuing
winter and next year.
This is exactly what has been need
ed, especially in the town of Milford,
to carry to all the people personal in
formation as to how the schools are
managed and the children accomplish
their education.
The meeting on Monday night was
called to order by r. A. DerricksOn,
who acted as temporary chairman and
introduced Mrs. Emily B. Cleaver, Of
MiddletOwn. In her talk, she stated
the purpose and aim Of the meeting
and outlined a constitution for the or
ganization when effected. The address
was received with earnest applause by
the fifty or more persons present and
Immediately the Milford Community
Association" was formed.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: viz-Samuel G.
Welsh, president; Mrs. Charles E.
Varney, vice president; Mrs. Wallace
Burn, secretary, and Wesley Heebner,
treasurer.
1t was expressed as the especial aim
to be reached for membership, that
ELL .G oil 20, aF
patrons shall be enrolled as members
of the milford Community Associa-
tion;" which will result in closer
contact by the grown-ups with the
schools and school work. This will
bring about a home interest and
thoughtful consideration for the work
the children must do in the schools, to
get full value of the money expended
in maintaining the schools. This will
give to parents and all associated with
them, intimate knowledge as to how
the schools are operated, why they
should do their part by seeing that
the children attend regularly and |
study faithfully to accomplish the |
work set for them. The parents will
then know how to help when the |
schools need their help, and finally, |
the lack of general information about |
how schools are conducted, will be |
wiped away.
The aim of the new association is, |
to assist the teachers and the Board |
of Education in any and all ways pos
sible, to enforce regular attendance
and proper study by The children. To
give support to the members of the
o1aI Of T1HrTnafinT1 To
lebs of management and maintain the
best sanitary conditions possible
about school properties.
The next meeting will be held on
Tuesday evening, in the high school
November goth, at 1880
o'clock, when DR.. H. V. Holloway will
speak for thirty minutes on Com
munity Problems of Parents" and
other subjects.
All fathers, mothers, maidens and
are expected to be present
next Tuesday evening at the meeting
called by the Community Association,
to assist in creating and maintaining
this work. The organization is going
to be a force and splendid success
during the next year; so, if you are
going to be a part of the work for
full and wise understanding of all
work, as well as the
schools, you must be present at the
next Tuesday.
This effort is zone For All, And All
For One" 1t is starting with success
and it will end with glory for the peo-
pie, the town, the schools and future
welfare of Milford and vicinity.
After all, it is the moral welfare Of
my community that counts. !
