TEACHER REPORTS,
GIVEN FOR 1923
:A8HLAND, Jan. 5. The Ashland-Parent-Teacher
council met at the
' public library Thursday afternoon.
Very Interesting reports from the com-
' mittee heads were given, the first be
ing given by Mrs. McCracken, chair
man' of the good literature committee.
She told ofi the value of good books
for children. Twenty-five children re
ceived certificates for completing the
reading courses last year. Miss Hicks
has told of this work before the
Pacific Library Association and it has
been highly "praised. Mr. Briscoe has
reoojved many inquiries from other
nieces and has always sent the out
lines of the reading plans. These lists
Ire revised each year as new books
are added to the library. Mrs. Perozzi
reviewed the department of Better
Films, bringing out many new ideas.
Often films taken from books are not
.particularly objectlonablo as the ob
jectionable part Is removed when they
are filmed, however, when a book is
filmed there is a large increase in the
sale of the book. In this way books
are read which are not fit for any one
to read. Another feature la that too
much attendance to movies is bad on
the eyes and the nervous system of
children. Too many children go to
the moving pictures without their par
ents. :
Miss Hicks, local librarian, supple
mented Mrs. Perozzl's talk, stating
that invariably there were a great
many calls for books, a screen version
of which was to be shown or nati re
cently been shown at the local thea
tres. Miss Hicks also said that the
library has a list ,of all the recom
mended films and that anyone wish
ing to find out whether or not a film
is recommended may call her and she
will be glad to give them information
concerning it. Among the reports an
interesting fact was brought out that
in a recent suryey, out of 148 parents
of high school students, 128 voted for
properly supervised dancing and 20
voted against it. Mrs. Walling gave a
short report on the plans for the pre
school work. Mrs. Whitney, chairman
of the Child Welfare Magazine com-
unlttee,: reported- that each circle is
ending the Child Welfare Magazine to
Its president, secretary and the chalr-
man of the program committee. Mis.
Dean, president of . the Hawthorne

cle each gave interesting reports of
the work of this year and the plans for
the remainder of ft.
