SKETCH OF FOREST CITY PARENT * TEACHER ASSOCIATION The Forest City Parent-Teacher association was organized Septem ber 20, 1920, with the following officers: Mrs. S. N. Watson, president. • Mrs. F. I. Barber, vice president.' Mrs. J. E. Caldwell, secretary treasurer. Twelve members were enrolled and the object of the association dis cussed. This association is six years old and during these years has tried to be helpful in many ways. The first outstanding action was to buy a grand piano for which $1,300 was paid. Next a set of books for the library which cost $57.50, other books which cost $20.00, a stove for the lunch room which cost $35.00- Books given as prizes to pupils for perfect attendance and teach ers for best attendance at P.-T. A. meetings around S3OO. About $25.00 has been given to national child welfare work—slo.oo to pay ex penses of delegates to state conven tions. Several dollars have been spent to buy books and clothes for children who couldn't get them oth erwise; We believe that $2,000 would be a conservative estimate of the money made and spent by the Forest City Parent-Teacher associa tion during its six years' existence. This money was made in various ways: * By rummage sales, flower shows, oyster suppers, Kiwanis suppers, selling candy, tablets and pencils, keeping booths at the fairs and many other ways. Please don't think that this as sociation has thought only of dol lars and cents. Money seems.to be a necessary evil and every organi zation that exists and makes any progress must have some money, but we feel that our association has done much more than make money. We have not lost sight of the chief object of the Parent-Teacher asso ciation which is to bring about a closer relationship and a better un derstanding between parents and teachers and parents and children and teachers and children. We feel that our association and experiences together have been worth more than they cost, if we hadn't made nor spent a dollar. Forest City Parent-Teacher asso ciation met at the grammar school building, May 12, 1926. Meeting was called to order by. the president, Mrs. B. B. Doggett. Prayer. Roll call—a tie between Mrs. Ware and Miss Bailey, association voted to give oach a book. Mr. Finch reported that about 100 pupils have made perfect attend ance in the grammar school.

Simmons, and Jebulon Weaver, promising to stand by the Volstead law and do all in their power to have it enforced. A paper was read on character education in the public schools. Question of paying dues was dis cussed. Association voted to pay the required 15 cents for member dues out of the general fund. Nominating committee reported names of Mrs. R. E. Biggerstaff, president. Mr. J. W. Eaks, vice president. Mrs. W. C. Blanton, secre-, tary-treasurer. All were unani mously elected for 1926-27. Mrs.c Doggett read notice from bulletin. Rjjling vote of thanks were given I Mr. Eaks, Mrs. J. H. Thomas and [ Mrs. R. E. Biggerstaff, for their faithfulness during the year. Mr. Eaks thanked the ladies for their help in the school. MR. E.
