All Clubs Organized
Saturday Afternoon

On Saturday the boys and girls in
terested In All work met at the Scout
Cabin and organized their various
groups, including agriculture, cooking
and sewing.
It appears that all of the All
groups are from the Vashon and
Columbia districts, although there are
boys and girls in other parts of the
Island interested in the work.
There are just as capable leaders
in other sections, and surely there
must be men and women elsewhere
who are willing to give their time for
the one meeting month which the
work requires.
The work must be important and
worthwhile when 1t is the object Of
national and commercial interest. Our
young people have just as good an OPP
portunity for winning some Of the
fine prizes as on the mainland, and
there is no better time than right
now to get the work started.

Consolidated District
2llHoldsP .T.A.Meetin

On last Wednesday afternoon the
P. T. "A. of District 211 held an inter-
esting and enthusiastic meeting MT the
schoolhouse, the old Burton high
school. A large number were present.
Each room contributed to the after
Moons program. In keeping with the
season the primary department gave
a little Indian play; the intermediate
grades gave number Of clever char
acter sketches, taken from fiction:
while the upper grades gave play
depicting life in the Pilgrim days.
Mrs. Poage gave an instructive and
timely talk on the need Of closer CO.
operation between the school and
home, and stressed the need Of
greater confidence between parent
and teacher She pointed out the
necessity Of teachers being given the
opportunity to iron out difficulties,
and the folly of Judging before both
sides of question were known.
There was thorough discussion Of
the ACCESSIBILITY Of adopting the mid
west plan for hot lunches. This con-
sists Of a boiler and racks, with half
pint containers for each child in
which he may bring food left over
from the dinner of the evening, to be
warmed for his noon day lunch. It
was thought that this would entail
less labor and expense than the pre-
paration Of a single dish, not popular
with every pupil, and insure each
child's having hot food.
There was also discussion of ways
and means for providing milk for
needy children.
Among other matter of routine
business Mrs. Bert Lewis was elected
for the year as vice-president.
There is an increasing amount Of
interest being shown in the P. T. A.
work in the district, and it is an
ticipated that much valuable work
will be done by the organization dur
ing the school year.
