~ Eastern Pennsylvania: 1A ’ ) Saturday Fair With Rising Temperature THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY COMMUNITY WEEKLY IN LUZERNE COUNTY WHOSE ADVERTISING APPEARS IN THE DALLAS POST ~ FORTIETH YEAR - day School will be held at 3:00 p. m. Sixty Persons DALLAS, PA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1929 FORTIETH YEAR Parent-Teacher Association Is Organized Here ns Attend First Meeting in High School Audi- torium—Mrs. Stanley Davis Elected President A forward step in the develop- ~ ment of cooperation between parents and the borough schools was taken |: Monday night when sixty parents and teachers met in the borough high school auditorium and formed a ~ Parent-Teacher Association. Prof. George Bowen, principal of the borough schools, was temporary chairman and quoting Benjamin Franklins’ famous words, “Unite or Die,” stressed the necessity for the closest cooperation between parents and teachers to make the local schools the succes sthat they can be. A. C. Cope, county superintendent of schools, spoke next and narrowed the term cooperation to this locality when he suggested the slogan, “Know Your Own Schools!” He urged parents to visit the schools, to get acquainted with the teachers and to attend classes while they are in session. Make no quick judgments but study the schools at first hand and get acquainted with facts and conditions at first hand and then try to see that the needs of the schools are met. Unless there is the closest cooperation between parents and the schools a Parent-Teacher Asosciation is worse than useless. Prof. Templin, superintendent of West Pittston schools, told of the work of the Parent-Teacher Asoscia- tion in West Pittston where the group is so large that it has become necessary to limit membership. De- spite its large size the association is functioning successfully and bene- ficially. Parents should look at the schools in a constructive light for a destructive and. critical attitude to- ward the schools is the wrong frame of mind in which to approach school problems. Study your own child. The parent knows the child in his own home. But that child frequently be- haves in a different manner when in a group of thirty-five or forty other children. Daniel Waters, representing the ‘school board, spoke briefly from the viewpoint of the board of directors. To really know the school, he said, the parent should attend meetings of the school board and get an unbiased knowledge of the schools’ needs. There is probably no other body of public spirited men who come in for so much criticism as a school board. These men give their sefvices gratis, try continually to use their best judgment in directing the schools and in return are constantly crticized for their work. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Stanley Davies, president; George Bowen, vice president; Law- rence Bevan, vice president; Mrs. Wil- liam Baker, secretary, and Mrs. Evans, treasurer. Meetings will be held in the school auditorium the third Monday evening of each month. Dues will be dis- cussed at the next meeting. Chair- men of committees will be announced at a later date. ——0 SHAVERTOWN E. M. Shavertown Episcopal Mission Sun- in the Shavertown school. At 4:00 Rev.

Continue Arrests For Use of Light In Killing Deer Despite the heavy fines which the law provides for “jack light- ing deer, protectors in’ various parts of the State continue to make arrests on that charge, ac- cording to reports made to the Game Commission offices in Harrisurg. In each case a $500 fine is imposed. Ire Hoffman, Milford, was one of the most recent violators to pay o $500 fine. Coe Decker of Port Jervis, N. Y., was fined $100 for assisting in concealing an illegally killed deer. Use of artificial lights in kill- ing deer is known as “jack light- ing” by sportsmen.
