The first_and supreme object of parent- teacher assoclations in churches is toy help parents by awakening them to | their primary punx\h”!l}' in the wuldance of their,children’s spiritual life.

There W a special meeting of the executive board of the District of Co- lumbia Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher® Associations Thurs- day afternoon. Plans are about com- pleted for a Christmas sale to be held next winter. the proceeds of which will be used for securing headquar- ters for the organization. A com- | mittee of ten was appointed to walt on the commissioners about opening and supervising the school play- grounds during the entire vacation period. Mrs. Lo H. Brown, playground chairman, is the chairman of this vommi e, and Mr: J. Sanders is the vice chairma The board indorsed a T lution, pres ted by the health chcairman, Mre. J. Sanders, to secure the operation Mrs. Rhodes of | the trict of Columbia playground | department, in an effort to serve milk | every day to the children on the pla. ground and in the summer schools. This will be done in order to keep the children to their present high stand- | ard of health. Upon the presentation of the health chairman, the board f dorsed a letter to the board of ed cation and the ‘Engineer Commis- sioner, which set forth a recent re- port to the New York health commit- tee by Dr. Emerson of Columbia | University. In this report, Dr. Emer- son urged the ventilation be natural air rather than by artificial ventila- tion. This letter will ask the authori. | ties to give this matter careful | ,consideration in planning new build- ings. There will be great saving in expense as well as great benefit to the children and teachers One of the chief #ims of the parent- teacher association is to make L. letter parents, so one of our largest Stite organizations has printed the following maxims for parents: Begin to train your children the cradle. From their earliest in- fancy inculcate. the necessity of obedience—instant, unhesitating obe- dience. Obedience is very soon un- derstood even by infants.

Never promise them anything u less you are quite sure vou can gi them what you promise.

Be careful what company children keep. “He that w with wise men shall be wis companion of fools 'shall stroyed.” ‘Make your children useful as soon as they are able and find employment, for them as far as possible. Teach your children not to waste anything: to be clean and tidy; to sit down quietly and in good order to their meals: to have a “place for orything and to keep eve vthing in 8 place”: to take care of and mend fro: always children for you but never Be calm yet de- your | lketh but a be de- | Never suffer vourself 1o be amused n immodest action. nor, by a encourage those seeds of evil which, unless destroyed, will bring forth the fruits of vice and misery.

Above all, let parents be themselves what tkay wish thelr children to be. The rcquest from the Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Assocla- tions of the District of Columbia, urging an appropriation of $50,000 for: the supervision and maintenance for school playgrounds Is now in the hands of the Loard of education for congideration.

Different committees of parent-teacher associations are being informed from time to time by -the principals of schools as to the exist- ing conditions and progress In and around. those. school bulldings during vacation.. We are pleased,to see this co-operation between pirents and teachers, and hope for continued suc- cess. . However, we would be mare pleased to see Congress appropriate enoukh money to supply the amount neceseary for the health and educa- tion of our children. Duying the summer months the re- ports of the winter actlvities of the Parent-Tcacher Association will be bublixhed In this column.

The amount from the above sources and other money .in the treasury was raised with the understanding that it would be spent, either on the play- ground or in. the school. in such a WAy as to give pleasure to the puplls and relieve the teachers by supple- menting the eyuipment of the school.

Samuel T. Ansell, last Thursday at § oclock. The final result of long discussion was that the most vital concern of the parents of the District of Columbfa today is the fact that our school play grounds, which have been equipped so largely by the parents, are - closed, locked. bolted barred and that it was the first duty of every citizen to see that every available space was to be utilized as play space for our children. The chairman appointed a special com- mittee to report next Wednesday at 4 o'clock at the office of the presi- dent, Capt. J. Peyser. The District of Columbia Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Assoclations, after many years of an almost hopeless struggle to have our school pla grounds properly ecquipped and super- vised. welcomes this mew force that has come to the support of the most vital' thing in the life of the child o its playtime. to the a kindergarten + ORANGE AND BLACK CGITY IN PROGRESS Special Dispatch to The Sta CLEVELAND, July 7.—The “forest has set a new style in exterior decorating for big cities.
