Due to the State Teachers meeting
held at Newark last week fewer
Parent-Teacher organizations sent
in reports than usual.
More meetings were held during
the past week of the month than at
any other time.
A report coming from Delmar
states that their P. T. A. gave $500
to the Athletic Association to pur-
chase foot ball equipment. This is
an example of very successful P.
T. A.
At the November meeting of the
MOrgan's school the parents were
shown the books and basket ball
purchased by their association.
The Gumboro P. T. A. has been
reorganized and reports a set of new
world book encyclopedia which will
be paid for by the new organization.
We hope this association will be
very successful in the splendid new
school building.
A very effective reading demon

of the head, face and limbs. Bar
ring any unexpected complications,
it is thought he will recover.
Townsend, who recently lost his
wife, lives alone with his two
young sons on his farm. By cur

Walter, was knocked down at al
