Parent - Teachers
Association
The Parent-Teachers' Association
will meet at the Indies' Annex
parlors on Saturday afternoon, De
cember 6. at 2:110. This association
was organized lout spring when
Miss Jane Allen, who was then
teaching in the Prineville public
schools, invited the parent of her
pupils to meet In her room for the
, purpose of becoming better ac
quainted with the problem con
fronting the teacher and being of
mutual help to one another.
At that time Mrs. Delknap was
chosen president, Mrs. Shattuck
viee-uresident, Mrs. Cooper secre
tary and Mrs. Calbreath treasurer.
Committees were appointed to ar
range by-laws, programs and other
matters ertiiining to the good of
the organization. j
Plans have Wn perfected for the
work of this association and it is
hoped that every parent and teacher
in Prineville will become a member.
Not only parents and teacher are
eligible to membership but any one
who is interested in the welfare of
children. Both parents and teach
ers are coming to realize the great
importance of child stuily and the
proper direction of -the pupils
activities if they are to grow into
the best types of manhood and
womanhood. It has been said by a
great educator that proper home
training coupled with the right
kind of teaching will give our boys
and girls such a stable foundation,
both morally and mentally, that
there will be little danger of yield
ing to temptations in later life.
The program committee has ad
vised that these meeting be made
informal and that all be invited to
discuss and ask questions along the
lines presented.
Following is the program for the
next meeting:
Instrumental music Mrs. Oscar
Hyde.
Paper -"How can children who
easilv become discouraged when
difliculties arise In the way of ac
complishing a piece of work be
' taught to persevere." Mrs. S. S.
Stearns. Discussion. .
