PARENT-TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION
Thorp U nothing more noeileii to meot
our responsibilities toward our childron
than parent-teachers' associations, moth-
ora’ clubs, etc. TUair.duty is the up-
building and equipping of our schools,
anil when I say this a great deal Is im
plied, for it means the social anil moral
upbuild,- as well ns the material needs,
\Ve know thut this movement of parents,
teachers and numerous friends of the
children is no common experiment, but
a serious reality, which, if neglected, will
mean misfortune; but if rallied to and
directed properly, it will mean nil that
is beneficial, and will work out definite
solutions to hundreds of the most pus-
sling school problems
Our children are far- donrer to us than
any other one tiling; and, rightly, thoy
should be, for they are our natural off
spring, The mother ,’s love is immeasur
able, and no object of any class or style
can possibly Intervene between her and
her child. Childron nro both “good”
and' ‘•'bad," but mother's love is the
sanuv However, if there is any differ
ence, she loves the ‘ ‘ bad ’ ’ child more;
tonderly. Mothers have gone almost to
death’s door for their children, and fa
thers are ready to lay down their lives
for them; hence, there is no sacrifice
too great for us to make, nor experiment
too drastic, when we realise that the
children’s safety and welfare nro Involv
ed—especially when we believe that our
efforts are founded upon justice and
right toward our boys and girls.
Children’s natures are changing every
day, and parents and teachers are often
censured and hold responsible for mis
demeanors committed by children which
are due entirely to changing natural dis
positions. If we do not take measures
to meet those changes of nature, thou
we are held responsible and duly cen
sured for thoir misconduct. But we
Jove the children too well to neglect such
important periods of their lives; so we
must indicate our love, and put 'it into
actual practice, by restricting and regu
lating the dispositions, environments,
etc., of our boys and girls, so their con
duct will be according to the natural
changes in their appetites, tempers, pas- t
sions, and their general' attitude toward'
things from day to day.
A child is like a flower. The bud
appears, and then develops until, petal
after petal, it becomes tho full-blown
rose, to beautify tho place where it
stands.. So the infant becomes first.a
crawling babe, then a walking child,
later a lad or lnssie in school, and from
the helpless state on' through the years
a person’s nature changes, and with the
changing natures from day to day,
month to month and year to year, conies
also a gradual but. definite increase of
our responsibility as parents and teach
ers toward our children,
Tho parent-teachers’ association
work effectively, locally and generally,
if properly organized. AVe all get on
common ground in a- most noble causo,
for we can discuss the deficiencies, ina
bilities, etc., of each child, and thus
keep the welfare of -tho children frosh
before us. If it becomes necessary to
punish, we as a body are the judges.
By giving plays, oyster suppers, cake and
candy sales, and numerous other affairs,
we. can raise money to aid school ex
penses. AVe can add libraries, put play
and physical culture equipment on the
grounds, beautify the premises, install
sanitary drinking founts, toilets, etc.
Hundreds of things a pnrent-teachers ’
association can-do toward co-operating
with our teachers and boards of educa
tion. Tlie mere coming together as t
body gives us new ideas, new inspira
tions, and sends us to our respective
homes filled with renewed determination
to do our .dead level best toward further
ing the highest interests of our Children.
So let us recognize what- our chil
dren are, what they mean to us, what
we mean to them, and how much we
are responsible for their moral, social
and religious training for future success
or failure. Let us, in face of, our over-
■deepeimig love for the . children, vocog-
qize their changing natures, and see and
admit the faults as well as ttie commen
dable traits of our girls and boys. Then
. let us rally to the various organizations
whose purpose is to promote tlie chil
dren’s best interests, among which tho
parent-teachers ’ association holds no sec
■ond place. •
So, friends, one and all, let us organ
ize effectively and permanently, and
'back up our schools. It will encourage
•children to do better work, and teachers
to realize the dignity of their positions,
and thus increase the general morale of
the entire school to a point that will
know no failure. Pupils will work with
nobler aims, and teachers will be more
conscientious and trustworthy. Chil
dren’s -welfare and necessities will be
met, school problems solved, discipline
regulated, and the whole order of things
raised to a higher and more effective
standard. As our opportunities increase,
so do our responsibilities. Let us meet
them fully and nobly. 0. AV. Taff.
