PARENT-TEACHERS MET u
M
Tin- Parent-Teachers Association ^
had a most interesting meeting on j,
Friday October 10.
A very appropriate program sug-; y
gertive of the season was given by ^
the children of the third grade. Their ^
first number was a play entitled "the ^
Months" followed by recitation of th r
poem of the months. Rub> Trivett ( ^
gave "Octuber's 1reasorex" with Win.1
ton Rankin at salute at the last when ! .
all the children came back stiil in
costume and bearing bright colored I
leaves to sing an autumn song.
Much interest was shown in regis-1
tering of atendanct by grade. The | |
picture which has been donated by the;
Association to be given the grade hav j
ing the largest attendance of parents!
or interested friends, was won hv the'
first grade. At ths two previous meet:
ings the picture was won by tin third j
and seenth grades respectively. The [
picture is kept on the wall of thej
winning grade until the following!
meeting. \t the end of the term this)
picture v.ill be given the grade win-*
ning i'k the targest number of times.
After the regular business program
I was carried out, Dr. Rankin of the
i Training School made a very interesting
two minute talk to the parents
and teacher* encouraging their com-1
.:ig together to discuss the problems
of the children who go from our
homes to the school. These meetings
are held monthly and last only one
hour. Let's show enough interest in
our children to attend every meeting
for the remainder of the term.
OFF TO CONFERENCE
Rev. M. B. Woosley, popular pasI
tor of the Boone and Biowing Rock
| Methodist cnurches, Rev. J. M. Dowj
nun; of the Appalachian Training
! School and Mr. John S. Stanbury,
with perhaps others from these cburj
ches arc attending the- annual conferj
ence in Greensboro this week. The
I hudir**i for this work amounted ro
i something over $3,000 this year, evi
try cent of which was paid in full
i and the minister took with him a
clean sheet to the big gathering. This
is net so much for a rich congrega,
tion but for one like ours it is quite
. | a sum. and the members are to be
j congratulated upon payingo f? in full
; what to some seemed almost impossible.
Mr. Woosiey has been on this
. work only one year but as be has com
. full up to the expectations of all, he
will beyond qnention be returned as
I he suits the people, and the people
suit him.
