ASKOV PEOPLE HEAR
GOOD TALK ON PIT. A.

The Askov Parent-Teachers Associ-
alton met in the school house Friday
night where about 80 people were in
mess meeting a program and Christ
mas party was enjoyed in the gymna-
SUM. Among other things it was de-
cided to help toward the purchase of
a radio for the school and a maximum
of $1O was voted to be expended for
this purpose, the cost to be divided
between the school, PIT. A. and a
fund derived from the sale of photos
recently taken of the pupils of the
school.
HinckIey Woman Speaks.
Mrs. w. J. Hoffman, chairwoman of
the Hinckley Parent-Teachers Associ-
alton, was the speaker and gave the
audience many good points on how
the parent and teacher body can help
the home and the school.
In the first place Mrs. Hoffman
brought out that the PIT. A. is nom
political, non-sectarian and non-com-
mercial and is a national and inter-
national movement. 1t safeguards the
welfare of children everywhere by its
nationwide cooperation. '.In every
community we have conditions which
are influential and the PIT. A. has
the right to consider every whole
some condition an ally and every un-
wholesome condition an enemy" said
Mrs. Hoffman and in continuing on
this thought brought out the fact that
between the home and the school and
the PIT. A. is the answer to that
need. The speaker pointed out that
a Parent-Teacher organization works
toward harmony among factions and
brings everyone on the same level in

the children. 1t eliminates prejudice

these conveniences were intended for.
The press came in for scoring by
the speaker when she stated that
gests crime to our children.
Mrs. Hoffman gave an example in
positive correction of children saying
that parents should never say don't"

evils because this organization works
for others and for good and no truly
good cause ever fails.
