PARRNT-TKACHER'H
MEETING
The P, T. A. mot last Friday in the!
Auditorium with only a few ladies
present. Owing to a great deal of
illness the various numbers on the
program could not be carried otii
as planned but. we enjoyed a piano
solo by Mrs. Lee and a duet, "Old
Fashioned Hoses", by Mesdames Lee
and Goodwin. Several topics of
mutual interest lo parentsf and tea
chers were discussed. Miss Work
mafl was present and presented the
subject of the cafeteria very ably,
and it was decided that each pupil
must bring sandwiches from home,
as they would not be Reived at the
cafeteria any more. ! rj. Mulkey
presented several problems of vital
Interest and some were I.Med for
future discussion. Mrs. Boardman
urged that teachers oversc , .o use
of all library books, so that the
children will get the lies! reading,
and that which will do them the most
good. It was also urged upon the
parents to cooperate more closely
with the teachers for the good of the
children, especially of high school
ace. The exact dating of the next
meeting is not definitely decided and
will be announced later:
Constantinople. Orders for a ces
sation of military movements in the
Chanak region of Asiatic Turkey and
for the suspension of the activities of
the Turkish irregular forces in Thrace
have been issued by Mustapha Kenial
Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader.
The Turkish nationalist authori
ties have agreed to an armistice con
ference in Mudania and have request
ed the allied high commissioners to
appoint delegates. The nationalists
will b represented by Ishraet Pasha
and possibly by 1 Iambi Bey.
London. With the virtual accept
ance by Mustapha Keniul Pasha of a
conference at Mudania, the whole
near eastern situation is considered
emporarily easier. However, the fact
that. Turkish troops were still concen
trating in the Ismid zone, notwith
standing thai they had retired slight
ly in the Chanak zone, would Indicate,
according to remarks made after the
British cabinet's second meeting, that
"Kenial is still playing a game."
The Mudania meeting will be a pure
ly military affair, to arrange, accord
ing to the original allied note to
Kenial Pasha, that the neutral zone
tii iil be respected and also to agree
upon lines behind which the Greeks
are to withdraw iu Thrace, both points
pending the general peace couferenoe.
There will be present military repre
sentatives of the three allied powers as
well as Greece and Turkey.
