PTA Proud Os Accomplishments Eighty-five years ago, on February 17, the first meeting of the National Congress of Mothers was held in Washington, D.C. Since then, the organization has changed its name to the National PTA and has become the largest child advocacy and volunteer group in the country, with 6 million members in 27,500 units. The National PTA’s record of accomplishments for children and youth is long and impressive, beginning with the creation of a juvenile justice system in 1899 to a TV violence project which accumulated data on the effects of TV on children in 1977. The National PTA was founded in 1897 by Alice McLellan Birney, a mother and New York advertising executive, and Phoebe Apperson Hearst, philan thropist and mother of William Randolph Hearst. Though 200 were expected to turn out for the first meeting at the Arlington Hotel in Washington, D. C., 2,000 attended. In 1926, Selena Sloan Butler, a teacher and lec- I turer, organized the I National Congress of I Colored Parents and I Teachers to meet the needs I of black children. In 1970, I the two organizations I united. Chowan County PTA I groups dwindled during the I latter 1960’s and early I 1970’5. White Oak I Elementary School was the I first local school to reinstate I its charter, doing so during I the 1974-1975 school term. I Chowan High School I reorganized two years later, I soon followed by Swain I Elementary and Walker Jr. I High. These organizations I have been an asset to the I schools in giving parents an I outlet to actively become I involved with the school and I school personnel. 1 At present, the local I schools with active PTA I organizations affiliated with I State and National PTA are: I White Oak Elementary, I Mary Morris, President; I Chowan Junior High, I Wallace Evans, President; I Swain Elemenary, John I Mitchener, 111, President; I and Edenton-Chowan I Alternative School, Melba I Overton, President. I Chowan County is I represented on the State I PTA Board by Sarah E. I Tynch, who is Chairman of I the Commission on I Organization and Joel HoUowell, who was recently I elected a member of this! commission. PTA is proud of ac-l complishments made I during the past 85 years and I encourage active par-1 ticipation by all parents and I interested individuals to I insure continued success.
