Harding school P.-TA. was the
first organized in this city. This,
its second year, has found it to
be an active and growing organiz-
alton.
The year was started with a very
successful Halloween carnival. This
was held on the school grounds,
providing entertainment and an
outlet for Halloween spirit for all
children in the city. Such splendid
cooperation was given by the mer-
chants and service clubs that the
P.-T.A. hopes to make this an an
nual affair. Nearly 5000 was cleared
at the carnival, enough to cry
on the years work.
One of the main projects of this
P.-T.A. is the distribution of milk
and fruit juices to the children.
Free milk being given to approx
imately 25 children each month.
Treatments for several children
with physical ailments was pro-
videds by the P.-T.A. Ten under
privileged children were given
whooping cough vaccine during the
recent epidemic.
At present what is termed as a
Spring Round Up is being con-
Quoted in accord with the national
program.
The P.-T.A. has cooperated with
the local theatre in providing chap
erons for the Saturday matinee
and recommending suitable pic
lures for children.

Enrichment of Parent Educa-

based upon the seven objectiveS of
childhood, developed through the
eight meetings of this year.
For six weeks the association
participated in series of child
study groups meeting once week.
Welfare work was carried in
three groups.
Mrs, Luallin faithfully super

with the Ell Centro P.-T.A. Clothes
Closet.
Ten o'clock milk was establish
ed for mid-morning nouriShment,
serving milk to the paid customers
and usually more in number was
given to those unable to pay. Each
day mother has delivered milk
to enable a cheaper purchase.
This past week the summer
roundup of all pre-school age
children who shall enter school
for the first time next fall has
been completed.
Examinations we're given by Ell

remediable defects to be corrected
before the child enters school.
Mckinley mothers have worked
very hard but without such splen-
did cooperation from our teachers,
especially Mrs. Cooley, who has
given money, extra hours of her
time, they feel they could not have
had such a full first year.

WINTER WEATHER

Almost every section of the United
States enjoyed mild weather during the
first half of January, which caused many
predictions that 1887 would be a year
without winter.
1t may be. With winter half over,
according to the calendar, the weather
may surprise us. However, don't forget
that January, 1886, also began in mild
fashion but before the end of the month
honest-to-goodness cold was at hand, with
sub-normal temperatures staying with us
for almost three weeks.
There is only one safe rule in prog
nosticating the weather: Don't.

A KINGS RULES

The late King George V of England
who died just little more than a year
ago. was greatly beloved monarch, who
believed in the homely virtues and prac-
ticed them. Some of the rules which he
laid down for his personal conduct were
recently published and are said to contain
the following, in a form which might be
described as a supplication or prayer:
1. Teach me to obey the rules of
the game.
2. Teach me never to cry for the
moon; never to cry over spilled milk
3. Teach me to win if I can; Il e can
not win, teach me to be good loser
A. Teach me to distinguished be-
tween sentiment and sentimentality; to
esteem the first and despise the second.
5. Teach me never to accept and
never to offer false praise.
6. Finally if | must suffer, may it
be like thoroughbred that goes away by
himself in order to suffer in silence.
All must agree that the sentiments
thus expressed are most commendable, al
though most of us probably fall far short
of living up to them, but an honest eff
fort to do so would be worth while.
