SCHOOL VISITS
URGED BY PTA
Program Chairman Points
Out Need Of Coopera
tion With Teacher
Following the last regular
meeting of the Highlands Par
ent Teacher Association, the
organization has issued an in
vitation to all patrons of the
Highlands school to make No
vember and December "Do
Something Special for your
School and Teacher" months.
Mrs. Manson Valentine, pro
gram committee chairman for
the PTA, pointed that the
theme was very timely as it
followed on the heels of Amer
ican Education Week. In a
message to the organization
members Mrs. Valentine quoted
excerpts from a recent speech
of President Truman in which
he said, "I would point out that
the creative Ideals of our de
mocracy must be taught in order
to be learned. ... We must pre
pare our young people to under
stand and preserve their price
less heritage of freedom. ... I
therefore urge all Americans to
rededicate themselves to the
program of providing their
children with a sound educa
tion^"
Mrs. Valentine advised that
ths Parent Teacher Association
carry on the standard and
goals set by Education Week
through the whole year and
especially during November and
December, the months of good
will and hospitality.
She urged the members to
make a visit to the school room
and make friends with your
teacher. As other suggestions
she recommended that Individ
uals make a gift to the home
room in which their child was
a student, and that parents
give their sympathetic interest
to the teacher and the school.
