Parents Aid Children In Home And School Due consideration should be given to our elders, who, gathered together in the North Side Parent-Teacher Association, make school life their business. This group unites two distinct peoples, our guardians and our instructors. The organization. besides talcing a general interest in all school activities, lends financial aid for the realization of school projects and for the solution of school problems. This guild of guiders has completed its yearly program which consisted of varied interests. The first big assemblage was the annual Back- to-School Night held November 15 when parents reviewed the daily life of their offsprings and became acquainted with the school in general. A successful membership campaign was held the same evening. Early in December Mrs. Roscoe Shambaugh and Mrs. Clayton Braunagel took charge of the music division rummage sale. On December 15 Santa Claus dropped in on the P.-T. A. meeting. Other interests of the Christmas party were the Franklin Mothers' Chorus and pictures of the western trip taken by several teachers last summer and shown by Miss Marian Bash. Mrs. Doster Buckner led a symposium on January 12. Some of the topics of the meeting were: Are We Expecting Too Much of Cut BY LOUISE HESSERT Children in 1938?'l given by Mrs. Basil Needham: Do Our Children Keep Too Late An Hour?- Remediesf' Mrs. Walter G.

THE LEGEND 1938 HIGH SCHOOL IS A WORLD OF ITS OWN The present day high school is the greatest privilege many of our young people will have while in their training period. There have been many situations arise during recent years which con- cerned all of us because of our deep interest in our high schools. The result, however, of planning for the long span of life rather than the emergencies of the present is a splendid, coordinated program. The diversified courses, the broader curricula, and the useful activity programs all tend to give every boy and girl an opportunity. Wfe strive to increase holding power and cultivate greater specific interests through the stimulation of ambitions and security appeals. Ive find a great need for better industrial training, more careful guidance and placement, and a greater degree of respect for real work. Ir is our purpose to direct a helpful program so that our young people will have a keen desire to make a contribution to the social, economic, family, and civic life in our city. There are also great needs to be served in providing for the cultural necessities, the leisure time enjoyments, and support to the ideals of our government. We are furnishing a participating, contributing type of educa- tion through extra curricular activities related to actual living. There is a leadership to develop and a followership to train. The high school of today is doing both with more and more success. We are striving also to cultivate ideals and attitudes that will endure and function. The scope is all embracing both from standpoints of content of subject matter and opportunity for resultant leadership. --MERLE J, ABBETT.
