which every one, regardless of race,
creed, or language can agree, is the
worth of a little child. America is
committed to the ideal that every
child shall have a fair start in life.
The organized parenthood of America
is a mighty force for worthier homes,
better schools and finer communities.
As a member of the National Con
gress of Parents and TeacherS, you
have a part in helping to realize
that ideal in your home, in your com
munity, in your state, in the nation
and in the world. Everything that
pyon put into this movement, time.
energy, moneyi and spirit helps to
magnify the finer and richer values
of our civilization. It is an inspiring
movement, worthy of your best and
you may well be proud of your part
in it."
The Grade Mothers are enthusiastic
workers, and are accomplishing worth
while things under the direct'on of
Miss Davis. The two beautiful pic
tures given for the best per cent of
