This w organization exits for the sole purpose of assist ing the school board and the teachers in making our school one of the best ijx the state. Through the association the parents and teachers become better acquainted, matters of general interest to the school are discussed, and many a dollar is turned to the good of the pupils through the efforts of the members. While the school, of course, has the moral support of every citizen, it is hoped that this year the membership list of the P. T. A. will be longer than ever before. In union there is strength, to have strength we must have organization, and as an organi zation, we are able to do much for the school that, as individuals, we could not do. The fact that we have no children attending school need deter none from becoming members of the assoc iation and a hearty invitation is ex tended to each and every person who has the interest of our school child ren at heart, to meet with us next Tuesday, extend a welcome to our critic teachers and become a member of the association.

HIGH SCHOOL HAS HEAVYJNCREASE Enrollment is 104 With Many Pupils From Out side Points Independence high school opened Monday with nearly a 50 percent in crease in enrollment over last year.
