The devotions for the Parent Teacher Association which met Monday night, September 21 were led by Mrs. Myra B. Fellers.

The president, Mrs. Dan Hamm, Jr. asked permission to reverse order of procedure and have the program before the business ses sion. Mrs. Carlton. County Council president spoke on the subject "Why I Should Be an Active Mem ber of the P. T. A.?” She told of the following facts: The aim of the County P.T.A. Council is to bring the schools together in a closer relationship. The national headquarters in Chicago sends very good material for each type of program-safety, health etc. The P.T.A. has fathers, mothers* teach ers, and children. With all of these people involved all sliould hear in mind two words " ‘We Care' because we do care." Work in the P.T.A. will make better homes, better schools, and bet ter communities. The executive committee is ideal in saving time to decide the issues on which to vote at the regular meeting. The executive coinmittfe is represented by the president, vice presidents, secre tary, treasurer, and the chairmen of the various committees- pro gram. membership, hospitality, publicity, character and spiritual life, publications, pre-school ser vice. budget and finance, harvest festival, and devotions. The state ment was made "If children, problems.” The P.T.A. is to help iron out these problems. If ail will read the S.C.P.T.A. Bulletin, the members will he able to see what other P.T.A.'s are doing and will strive to do as well or try to surpass them. Mrs. Carlton ended her speech with "Make your home a better home even if it has heen a good one. Make your school a better school even if it has been a good school and make your community a better community even if it has been a good community.” Mrs. Ralph Whitaker, president of District 4 P.T.A. Council, told the audience of some of the “Policies and Practices” of the PTA. Site reviewed the objectives of the PTA and spoke briefly about each trying to see all sides of a picture was emphasized. Some of the suggestions by which the PTA can profit apply to National state and local PTA: 1- General Policy that congress shall pursue those that are edu* cated. Learn about one another first hand. A good PTA is one that arouses public interest and understanding — one that grows and works together for the com mon good of all. 2- Non commercialism— Nation al PTA does not endorse any com mercialism. Do not solicit funds or give out any. 3- Non sectarian — Guarantees each child to his belief in his in dividual religious faith. The policy of the national Con gress’s running of schools is left to the administrator. No admini strator is responsible to the P.T.A. (continued on page eight) H.D.
