PTA SUMMER INSTITUTE
Parents And Educators. .
Authors Os Pupils' Destiny
Approximately 350 PTA mem
bers had already registered
and more were still registering
Wednesday morning at the 44th
annual PTA Summer Institute
held at University of Georgia.
Mrs. H. D. Worthy of Oxford,
Miss., national chairman of the
committee on parent and family
life education for the National
Congress, brought greetings to
the dedicated parents and em
phasized the need for “re
dedication.”
Stressing the point that parents
and educators are the authors
of the pupils’ destiny she told
the members, “We cannot stand
alone as Individuals or fami
lies, but we must join hands
with other parents and unite In
our community-building role so
we can have an impact for good.
"Needs vary In each com
munity,” she said, “but parent
education Is a basic need com
mon to all. Parent education
must be continuing education...
Having a diploma does not as
sure us we have the wisdom
we need to guide the young
lives placed In our hands from
birth until they establish homes
of their own. Emotional stabi
lity and a well-developed sense
of values are now more need
ed than ever before.”

Troop 458 presented a fashion
Show for their mothers...the
girls who will be troop mem

mothers.
For the past several months,
the girls have been working on
the challenge of social depend

skills they learned In the model
ing course they had taken at

volunteer workers, headed by
Mrs. Betty Snipes. From the in
dlspenable nursery workers all
the way to the intermediate tea
chers, cooperation and motiva

Although one gallant male par

charge of 34 healthy, energetic,
youngsters, was overheard to
exclaim, “I think I’m gonna’
cry!”, It still looked like a
banner year for Bible School.
