Three important meetings were
held by different sections of the
District of Columbia Congress of
Parents and Teachers last week
all looking toward a constructive
program.
On Tuesday morning local unit
presidents and summer roundup
chairmen gathered to hear an out
line OF the plans for the 1910 edi-
ton of this annual parent-teacher
health activity. Mrs. E. M. Graham,
State chairman of the committee,
presented her program for the cam
paign, and from the enthusiastic
response of the large group of inter-
ested leaders present, there is every
reason to predict highly success
full roundup.
On Thursday from 10 to 2 Mrs.
B. M. Eldred, State chairman of
registration, and Mrs. Hugh Dryden,
State chairman of delegates, con-
Quoted school of instruction for
unit presidents and chairmen in
anticipation of the convention on
May 81 and %. Plans for the con-
vention are also going forward and
am sure it will be we'll worth the
attention of every interested person.
At meeting of the Legislative
Committee, of which S. j. Nc
Cathran is chairman and Mrs.
Joseph N. Saunders associate,
Thursday at 8 pm, parent-teacher
people gathered to listen to an in
formative discussion of District suf-
frage. The District of Columbia
Congress of Parents and Teachers
will more than likely make a deci-
sion on this controversial subject
sometime in the near future, but it
was thought that until our member
ship had had the opportunity of be-
coming intelligently informed it
would be foolish to attempt such a
thing. Speaking before the group
were w. H. Mondell, vice president
of the District of Columbia Suffrage
Association; Attorney Seton Darr,
former president of the District Of
Columbia Bar Association; Guilford
Jameson and Senator Capper. I am
sure those leaders and lay men,

double by Tony Stukel, three-bagger
by Al Banks, a brace Of singles by
Glavan and Pitcher Dick johnson, and
a double by Barney Banks accounted

some excellent support IN the field,
kept the visitors well in hand.
johnson scored seven strikeouts for
the seven innings, walked one, and
yielded six hits, one of them a double
Gelein of Hibbing famed not a one,
walked seven men, four of them scor-
ing, and was nicked for six hits, two
doubles, and one three-tagger

indeed, with both teams guilty of many
errors, and with the hits falling like
leaves before a stiff autumn breeze.
Both clubs scored a total of % hits
and made IL errors.
Two successive home runs by First
Baseman Frosh, both scoring runners,
played a big part in the Iron Ore

hurled for Ely, allowed four two
baggers, three Of them resulting in
runs. Five Ely errors, three of them

first inning, but saw Hibbing take over,
4-3, in the third and coast to victory
by comfortable margin It wasn't
until the start Of the fourth that the
Vermilion range crew cracked. however
Stolen bases by Barney Banks and
Frank Sweigel, and two by Buckley

three innings, but Buekley's last one
which came at the start of the third
frame, put him out Of the game with
a sprained ankle, and necessitated con-
siderable shifting Of the lineup.
