IN EDUGATING CHILD Father Clabby Says Teacher Can- not Assume Entire Burden The regular meeting of the Parents and Teachers’ association of the Na- than Hale school was held in the au- ditorium of the school last evening. A large number of the parents were present and a splendid entertainment was furnished. tev. Raymond J. Clabby, principal ot St. Mary's school, was the speaker of the evening and took for his topic he “Parents and the School.” Father ’labby explained how money is rais- vd for the maintenance of schools by ‘axes and how it is expended. The speaker said that the three most val- nable features in the bringing up and vducating of the child are the home, %e school and the church. He told liow the child is taken care of and trained in the home until it is four or five years of age when it is taken ny the parent to the school where it it transferred to the teachers to be educated. Here it is that many parents make a mistake the speaker said, when they simply feel that their part of educating the child is to hand it over to the teachers and say *Here is my child, take it, educate it, and when you have finished hand it back to me” The speaker said that this procedure is mot the correct one to weeure the best results but that the parents should cooperate with the teachers and consider suggestions as PARENT MUST HELP [stee I0US MOVIES ARE SCORED BY PARENTS Mothers Tell of Vain Protests Against Lurid and Immoral Pictures. St. Paul, Minn.,, May 7.—There is too much portrayal of crime, immor- ality and brutality in the “movies,” delegates to the convention of the Na- tional Congress of Mothers and Par- ent-Teachers’' association were told yesterday. Mrs. Charles E. Marriam, cago, chairman of the better of Chi- films committee, led a round table discus-| sion that brought out unanimous dis- approval of the filming of salacious books—"books the average boy and girl otherwise never would have heard about, one speaker said. “We have protested, but in vain,” Mrs. Merriam said. “Even today the industry is filming two more Vvile books, one to be produced this week. The producers of this film announced | that this week—which we are devot- ing to chiud welfare—is to be nation- ally advertised as ‘love week.” “The argument of the producers that unless they film this kind of pic- ture they will have to go out of busi- ness—that good pictures do not pay in the box office—is proved erroneous by their own figures.” THEIR 26TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Anton Larson of 189 Fairview Street Receive Many Beau- titul Gifts From Friends. Mr. and Mrs. Anton Larson of 189 TMal ew street were pleasantly sur- he teachers, lone, In closing the speaker parents and the teac to the child’'s welfare received from If the teachers and the rarents cooperate the child will hietter educated than it would be pos- sible for either one or the other to do be urged s to get to- the zether as much as possible, not only with their regular assoclation meet- ings but during the school week and w=sured the parents that any coopera- tion on their part would be met with the utmost courtesy and willingness cn the part of the teacher The feature of the eveni tainment was a *'doll dance” given by the pupils of the primary grades, The dance was perfectly executed and by iequest of the assembly was twice re- peated, A vocal solo was rendered by Miss Anna Baloski and a piano solo was given by Miss Ruth Curtis.

Mesting Assuring members of the Monroe |school Parents and Teachers' asso- | ciation that the needs of the district are not being overlgoked by the board | of education, P. F. King, acting chair- man of the board, delivered an im- | pressive address at the annual meet- ing of the association last night. Mr. King said that the board of education must view the school situation from the brcadest angle and base its de- cisions on the greatest benefit for the greatest number. He declared that the members of the board are not in- fluenced by any individual or group in arriving at a decision as to where new accommodations are needed but that they consider the accommoda- tions situatjon from the standpoint of achieving greatest benefits for the city as a whole rather than for any certain section. He told his audi- ence that the board of education was aware of the demand for improved facilities in the Monroe school dis- trict and had gone so far as to seek a site for a new school building. As soon as the proper location is de- termined, he said, the board would prooeed to have a new school erected. He asked the members of the asso- ciation to co-operate in the develop- ment of the board's policy which is to erect modern schools with audi- toriums, gymnasiums and outdoor reéreation space. | Mr. King outlined the expenditure of the “school department dollar” and explained how each cent is spent, He also spoke of the large part school cxpenses have in city ex- penditures and said that everyone should take a live interest in the way the money is disposed of. The part the parent must take in the education of a child was em- | phasized by Mr. King. In the first |14 years of a child's life only 7 per cent of its time is spent under the supervision of school authorities, he said, proving that in the molding of character during the empressionable years, responsibility rests heavily on the parent, Mr, King was introduced by Walter P. Fletcher, president of the associa- tion. A group of three songs was sung by Miss Ruth Schade, who was warmly applauded. &he was ac- companied by Miss Clara Olcott, Reports of Miss Eby Neri, secretary, and Miss Helen Wheeler, treasurer, were read and approved. Later in the evening the annual clection of officers was held, resulting in the choice of Oswald Richter for president, Clarence H. Barnes for vice-president, Miss Neri for secre- tary and M Wheeler for treasurer, | sinker to become a natureopath ph PRAYS FOR A LIMOUSINE New Haven Man Also Said to Work for $18 a Weew When He Can Get 850, New Haven, May 7.—That her hus- band preferred to accept a position at $18 per week, preliminary to be- coming a clergyman of the Second Advent faith, rather than resume his job as die sinker at $50 a week after being deprived of hig license to prac- natureopathy as a result of the state medical probe, was testimony of Mrs. Mary Butler Hubbell of this city, whose application for removal of her husband, Willilam H. Hubbell, as guardian of their two children was denled by Judge Gilson in the probate court here yesterday. Hubbell, it appeared from the evi- dence adduced, left his trade as d sician after graduating from the Plumer school of natureopathy, which }\\u raided and closed by officials of the state during the grand jury inves- tigation of alleged medical frauds in the state.

I'ord Won't Explain Offer—It's Clear Enough, He Deglares, Detroit, May 7.—~Henty Ford will neither appear personally before the scnate agriculiural committee, nor have a reprosentative appear, he stated in a letter to Senator Norris, chairman of the committee, The let- ter, which was in reply to a request trom the senator that Ford appear personally and explain his offer, was railed late yesterday from the motor manufacturer's office in Dearborn, Mr. Ford informed the scnator that liis offer had been before the commite ttee for virtually two years, that it was in writing and that ita terms were clear, definie and easily under- siood. He said it had been fully in. wulred into and explained and there was nothing further to be added. In conclusion the motor manufac- turer said that his decision not to ap- pear had been strengthened by “th 1ecent effort of Senator Norris of th schate committee on agriculture to reflect upon the integrity of the presi dent_of .the United States in connec. tion with our offer for Muscle Shoals. AFFAIRS GROWS SERIOUS. Russia Much Upset at Germany's Fallure 1o Explain Raids, Ry The Associated Press. Moscow, May 7.-~1n the absence of any satisfactory explanation from the| German government concerning the reesnt police raid in the soviet trade headquarters in Berlin the Russian goverament is taking an increasingly serious view of the affair. M. Krestinsky, the soviet ambassa- dor in Berlin, i pected to return to Moscow forthwith to confer with gove ¢rnment regarding further action. All tie soviet newspapers describe the in- cident in scarehead type and publish long eondemnatory editorials in which they warn Germany that if adequate oiogy is not forthcoming, complica- s may ensue from which Germany will be the first to suffer. Count von Brockdorf-Rantzau, the German ambassador, has made sev- eral visits to TMoreign Minister Tehit- cherin since Sunday to explann the German viewpoint, but the substance of their conversations has not trans- pired. Tt is still believed, however, in ilplomatic quartera than an amicable olution will be reached. ANTON LANG APPROVES ‘ Passion Player Thinks Bobbed Hair | For Girls 0.
