"You can be actively helpful to
your child and to his teacher, by
becoming a member of the Parent
Teacher association and by attend
ing the meetings whenever it is pos
sible for you to do so. If it is impos-
sible for you to be present at regu-
lar meetings, you can still help
by sending in your membership
dues and by supporting its activities
in any way that you can. One of the
aims of P. T. A. is to bring into
closer relation, the home and the
school, in order that the parents
and teachers may cooperate intel
ligently in the training of our chill
dren. We realize that some of you
mothers are engaged in work out
side the home, and others have
small children, which make it diff
cult for you to attend meetings. We
have tried to plan ways to help
solve both situations. Generally,
our meetings will be at night, the
hour to be 7:45 instead of at 500
O'Clock as they were last year, and
they will not continue longer than
900 O'Clock. We are planning en-
tertainment for the children in a
separate room while the parents
are attending the meeting. This en-
tertainment usually takes the form
of movie, under the supervision
of a special committee. Following
our usual custom, there will be a
homemade cake donated as a door
prize each time. We will take the
attendance count on percentage
basis again and the room having the
largest number of parents present
will receive a prize of $1.00. Zone
