George w. Guy, Of Richmond, exc
cutive secretary Of the Cooperative
Association Of Virginia, was the
principal speaker at the regular
meeting of the Arlington county
federation Of schools, held at the
courthouse last night.
He gave a full outline Of the
work being done by the cooperative
throughout the State, showing by
reports that It has grown to the
largest educational association in
the State; that aside from carrying
on school work 1t aided in bringing
together organizations carrying on
community development and child
welfare work.
Answering questions as to. the
work of the Parent Teachers Asso.
citation and the cooperative, he said
that both were doing about the
same work, except the cooperative.
in addition to doing school work,
also looked to the community de-
velopment and saw no good reason
why the two could not work to-
gether. He said that State Super
intendent Hart has made efforts to
bring the two together. but up to
the present time has failed.
Fletcher Kemp, superintendent Of
the Arlington county schools, said
he would not oppose any organiza-
ton doing school work, but at this
time, when Arlington county IL In
the midst of the development Of its
school system, now preparing to
build several new schools, he felt
the county should remain in the
cooperative rather than some Of
the schools join the Parent. Teachers
Association.
Kemp claims that the cooperative
means more to the county than any
other association, and that it has
done more to develop the school
system in the State.
