The North ' Carolina Congress of Parents and Teacher has come of Met. ' Organized in 1919, it cele brates its twenty-first birthday this year. And having reached maturity, it has speak. put wy fbildish things, so to The modern up-to-date Par- ent-Teacher Association is devoting more and more of its time to Parent Education, to securing desirable leg islation for child welfare, and to a thorough study of the whole public school situation. It is cooperating with other educational and civic groups on problems and project! which affect the childhood oua youth of today. The practice of providing school equipment, which distinguish ed the P. T. A. in its youth, has been largely abandoned into the laps of the school board and it is all right, too, for the community chest and the, WPA to provide necessary free lunches. After 21 years of ac tivity, Parent-Teacher leaders to day are taking 'the long look and putting their heads together on more substantial things. ' Founders Honored Local associations throughout the State took time out during theit February program on "National Founders' Day" to pay tribute to x State7 founders. To Charlotte be-1 longs the prestige of having been host to the organization meeting, an organization which today claims a membership of approximately 70,000. Charlotte, Asheville, and Greensboro had city councils before there was a State" Congress and Parent-Teacher records show that what is now the Bethune association in Charlotte was the first organized local. I Burlington sent representatives to the National Congress in 1917, two years before North Carolina had a state organization; and away back forty-three years 'ago, when the founders of the national Congress called, on all those interested in the welfare of children to come to a nation-wide meeting in Washington, D. C, a North Carolinian appeared on the program. Sallie Southall Cotten (Mrs. Robert R. Cotten) of Bruce, was probably North Carolina's first Parent - Teacher enthusiast When the state congress .was formed Mrs. Cotten's4ame' headed the list of those serving on the advisory board. Edith Will Yates (Mrs. David S. Yates), who as president of the Charlotte Federation sent out the call for the first state-wide meeting, earned the right to be called State Convenor. The list of names elected as various first officers for the North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teachers includes many persons now promi nent in the State's social and politi cal life. Mrs. Joseph Garibaldi of Charlotte was president number one. Vice Presidents, whose duties were the same as those of the present dis trict directors, were Mr. Frederick Archer (yeS, there was father par ticipation even then) of Greensboro; Mr. H. P.
