H. Reeve, president of the tional Congress of Parent-Teacher delivered an address last Wednesday before the summer 0ol of George Washington Uni- versity in which she sald there are three lincs of legitimate parent-teacher activity. First, she said they are to see that the children sent to school are fit to be taught—physically fit, mentally fit and morally fit. “Teachers will ee that the first six months at 0ol have tc be spent urndoing mis- akes of home training,” she sald It is the fault of the home if the child is not tralned in obedience.” . she said, is to become ac- ith the school system. “The know the needs of the 0ols and the parents are the ones who pay the bills and should be in- terested to see that these needs are met.” Third, she said, no child is educat- ed by home and school alone. “The streets and community are big fac- tors in educating and parent-teacher include interest in all tivities.
