L 1 4 ;V Parent'Teacher Conclave
Tho tweiirV-fnutth. annual state
convention of the Oregon Congress
of Parents and Teachers opened
yesterday in Grants Pass, in the
Mothodist church..
'i Registration occupying most of
tnq cmyi over o.oo were enrolled.
'.A. large number of delegates and
mothers from tho different circles
of this city attended. Mrs. Carl
Flchtner represented the city coun
cil of Parent-Teachers of Medford.
Tho evening session ' opened at
8 o"clock with Mr. A. Walker, vice-
president of district No.. 10, pre
siding. An interesting program
was given, including vocal solos
by James Stevens.
Reports from all sections of Ore
gon Indicate a growing interest in
the plans and activities of the or
ganization, 'according to tho dele
gates' who- were In attendance at
last, evening's meeting.
Mrs. W. ,V. Gabriel of Portland
stato president ;of the association,
gave a most "interesting and in
spiring nddress, as follows:
My dear Member' nnd Friends of
tho Oregon Congress of Parents
and Teachers;
"It is a 'fircat: pleasure to greet
you and bid you welcome to this,
our state convention. However di
verse our general tastes and In
terests may be, at this time, all
else is- forgotten in our meeting
together to consider ' that greatest
of all assets to the human raeo, the
child, (who must carry on the life
of the nation when our short span
Is closed). According to tho very
nature of things, nnd because life
is what It Is. surely the highest
ambition of any human being
should be to lift the quality of
those who compose that nation
whatever and wherever it Is, onto
a higher and more perfect plane.
Somo one wisely has1 said, 'Give
me tho children of Just one gener
ation nnd let them develop into
perfect men and women, physical
ly nnd morally, and most of the
world's misery -nnd suffering w-iu
be wiped out.1 Jf.'that were pos
sible, nnd such halcyon days with
in our reach," Would .we not all be
eager to put our shoulders to the
wheel? Becauso this Is not prac
tical or possible, 'and because tho
steps to perfection are slow and
hard to climb, often -even Imper
ceptible, we draw back and host
tate, weary and laggard, with un
fulfilled desires.
"Nevertheless, for these high
Ideals and endeavors there must
bo concartf d, ,iKiyitcd effort
the unity that brings strength. No
Llojgo piir'nosc, good or cy.n, has
reached its'onjecuvo wunoui mass
formation. This rule obtains in
this great forward movement for
child welfare throughout the world,
now numbering over two million
persons, of which this group In
Oregon Is an official part; our Na
tional and International Congress
of Parents and Teachers.."
'(And so wo. tire met; here to
consider well our task ns parents
and as teachers In the Interests
of the child, not only those of ten-
dercst years, but throughout the
various stages of childhood, pre
school, grade, high school, yes,
nnd bevond. Into college ' years,
until fuller life with all Its joys
and responsibilities claim our best
beloved, and they too form another
link In tho golden chain of the
years.
We nre here to study together
every phase, each component pnrt
of that child. Tho physical, the
mental nnd the spiritunl. eacn
dwnrfed, distorted and Incomplete,
without the Intelligent development
of the other.
"Just then, ns we mut never
fall to study tho whole child, we
recognize also that our organiza
tion too must' have Its complete
enmnonent parts. Its machinery
(its physical attribute); its gov
erning regulations nnd Ihoughful
administrations (the mental side).
Bu the greatest of all must he -the
underlying fnlth and love of sorv
Ice for childhood which motivates
the whole, and which hinds us to
gether In one great common pur
pose. "This thought might be rnrrlcd

Oh, may they never, through fault
or misunderstanding of either par
ent or teacher, havo to trail those
royal standards in tho dust, or
lower them to a sordid code or
embittered outlook.
"Tho spiritual side of our Parent-Teacher
program this is the
Alpha and Omega the beginning
and the end of our work, the
.vital spark which nt once ener
gizes and inspires the whole un
dertaking." Which casts about it
the glamorous spiritual atmos
phere of a high pressuro purpose,
as we learn to rely nnd lean upon
that divino help and guidance of
our Hcavnly Father which is never
far from thoso who can pause for
a moment from busy rushings to
and fro to tuno In with the In
finite, nnd link their puny strength
with His.
"As this organization has grown
in numbers and strength, so it has
developed theso thoughts in a well
rounded program of objectives.
Through these we find a well
thought out consideration of the
child In every stage. Beginning
with the prc-schooi child In those
priceless formative years, when
parent hands can mold tho plastic
clay for good or ill. What of
these?. Are wo so competent nnd
infallible that we have no need
hero of special effort and train
ing? If wo are, a heavy respon
sibility lies upon us. Let us dis
perse some of this superior knowl
edge If possible, for tho good of
less informed, less satisfied par
ents, nnd let us meet nnd touch
each other In the pro-school
groups.
"Along In the grades, what a
vision of purposes, problems and
opportunities rises before us our
budding girls nnd boys with the
first faint stirrings of great forces
struggling within them. How they

sympathy and understanding.

toll. Is there no room here for
closo cooperation between home

In the rearing of our children In
every stage of their lives, and yet
how sad to find so mnny parents
unawakened and Indifferent. What
are the reasons? Mental laziness,
perhaps, yes, and physical Inert
ness, too, plays Its part In the
eomedyi or tragedy of errors un
fortunately only too evident.
"Parenthood In theso latter days
makes greater demands than ever.
It must ut once bo a bird poised
for flight, to follow youth in Its

many subjects too elaborate sand-

clal life, all created, It must he

Do not parents and tenchers need
to comblno to check this too ex-
travngant expression In our young
people, for after all, does youth
need these things to make for hap
