IMPROVE HOMES AND SCHOOLS PROFIT SAY SPEAKERS AT PTA The Black Mountain Parent Teachers Association held the first meeting of the 1964-65 year with a very good at tendance to hear the impres sive president’s message and to ask questions of Dr. Frank Richardson, the speaker for the event. , Rev. Henry Schum, pastor of the Swannanoa Presbyter ian church, gave the devotions in which he asked for strong physical, moral, and safe homes from which to send the children to our schools. The board, which had met cn Monday, presented the budget for the year for $1310, which was approved by the assembly. New teachers introduced by their principals were: Mrs. John Newton. Mrs. Beatrice Hampton, and Miss Ruth Gilbert at the primary build ing and Mrs. Pauline Hunt ;.nd Frank Watkins at the ele mentary building. Robert Gray, local PTA president, gave a most stim ulating message. He further carried out the idea intro duced by Mr. Schum in ask ing that the homes be made a more ideal place for grow ing children; that parents par ticularly set a good example for their youngsters to emu late. In providing thus a good background the work 01 the teacher becomes not only more pleasant but more ef tive. . ,Ir. Gray further empha ;d the important position the teacher in the com nity, stressing the respect h which they should be ated for the tremendous they do in guiding and acting our children, monard Keever, principal the primary school, as ■ed the parents that the ,v building, scheduled to ,e been started in July, was 1 on the drawing board; it repeated trips to Raleigh conferences has resulted additions to more nearly ■ommodate the load to oc jy the building, vir. Keever also asked sup port from the PTA for the bond issue coming up for ap proval in the November election. He stressed the point that these bonds are to be issued from surplus funds, that the passing of the bonds will not mean any more taxes, merely the use of already available moneys for schools. [f it is not directed into these channels by the ap proval of the voters, it might well be that it will become necessary to vote local bonds in order to get the buildings needed in the county. Mrs. James Helgreen, pro gram chairman, introduced Dr. Richardson who spoke of methods of discipline, ways to improve PTA by enlarging , the membership and provid ing good speakers, and an swered written questions sub mitted by parents and teachers. The October meeting will be in the form of parent teacher conferences during an open house evening.
