PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION The meetings of the High School Parent-Teacher Association were held in the evening this year, so that the fathers of the pupils might be given greater oppor- tunity to become interested in the work and problems of their children. Under the enthusiastic and able guidance of our President, Mrs. McEwan, a Varied and in- teresting program was provided for each meeting, and it is to be regretted that more parents did not avail themselves of the opportunity of listening to the enlightening and inspirational talks that were given by the various speakers. The main subject of our discussion has been Vocational Guidance-an attempt to help the boy and girl to choose their life's vocation at the earliest possible moment, so that in High School or College, they may take suitable courses to prepare for that end and thus avoid the loss of time occasioned by drifting from one thing to another before finding the work best suited to their temperament and mental equipment. The opening meeting of the Fall was held on October 19th and was largely in the nature of an organization meeting. Mrs. McEwan outlined the purposes of the organization, which are to secure cooperation between the parents and teachers, and to bring the work of the school before the citizens of the town. Mr. Brown and Mr. Crane also spoke on the value of the Association to the parents. After the busi- ness of the evening was disposed of, the meeting became informal, and an opportunity was given to the parents to become acquainted with each other and with the teachers. The second meeting, held on November 16th, was characterized by the able dis- cussion by Mrs. Prince of the High School Faculty on the subject, The Need of Vocational Guidance, emphasizing this need as the answer of every child's question, What am I going to be when I grow up?,' and outlining the three means of guidance as, flj Ability to become economically independent, Q21 Good statesmanshipg Q31 The wise use of leisure. Mr. Morelock, County Superintendent of Schools, s-poke along the same line, stressing the fact that parents must be conscious of the limitations of their children, and conscious of the things that they can do best. At the third meeting, January 18th, Allen Cullimore, of the School of Engineering at Newark, gave an informal talk on Fundamentals of a College Education, pointing out that the primary use of education is character building, and that boys and girls should be given a college education only when they can appreciate its value, and will work to mould what they learn into the formation of a true and upright character. The fourth meeting was held on March 21st. Through the courtesy of Mr. Crane, an evening session of the school was arranged. This permitted the parents to see their children at their daily tasks. There were classes in physical culture for boys and girls held in the Gymnasium. After recitations in the various classrooms, the entire school met for Assembly. The evening gave the parents an opportunity of viewing the work that the school is attempting to do for the pupils. The Association assisted the seniors with a card party on March 16, the proceeds helping to defray the expenses of the Washington trip. It is a pleasure to record the helpful spirit of cooperation that has been shown by all the members of the High School staff in making the meetings of the Association a success.
