CALLED On March .'{0, there was organized a-General Council for all the ParentTeacher Associations of all the colored schools of Columbia. Mrs. Belle E. Vineeijt was elected President; Mrs. W. 11. Harvey, Secretary; and -Mr. H. W. Harrison, Vice-President. ? This organization, as the name imples, will acfin an advisory capacity for all the associations of the city and also as an executive board and .'tearing house in matters "of mutual interest to all the parents and teachers of the entire community and for the welfare of all the children of Columbia. Re ?sentatives from all the local Parent-Teacher Associations compose the personnel uf the General Council. The purpose and direct objective of the Council as is the aim of all Parent-Teacher Asso's., that have the right spirit, is to function, in a fnnperating paprwify.'with the Public School Board of Education in promoting the welfare of the community's children?* v There is no greater, higher, and more nnhle cause in any community than the welfare of its children.j An organization whose sole *\"rpose is child-welfare should have the ready uid full-hearted support of every man and woman in the community. Everybody wants to live in a community of food .citizens, fyealthv citizens, intelligent citizens, citizens whose respect and love for peace and harmony law and order, and the rights of oth- 1 or citizens, are paramount; good -neighbor*- who?-promote-all?these { thines for the "eneral "ublic welfare. The only wav for a communit tovJ have such citizens is to see to it that every generation of its children is . properly cared for and trained every) twentfr-four hours of every day. The ; school board of education cannot as- } sume the full , responsibility, the : teachers cannot, neither can ..parents j themselves, nor even the churches or \ any other'sinMe organization. Child- j ren need the combined cooperative I care of all adlults in the community all the time. To that end, the Gen- | eral Council of Parent-Teacher As- | sneiatinns of Columbia. renresentint* I till Uxe pa rents and teachers?of? the 4. community, pleads for the support ox everv man aixd woman in the city. The President of the Council is, ! therefore, issuing a call for all parents and teachers of Columbia to 1 meet together at Allen University on Monday night, May 11, at 8;00 o'clock, j All adults, whether parents or not are ! welcome. There will be no admission j fee, but a silver offering will be taken j to promote the work of theAssocia- j Turns. There will be an interesting program with music,, addresses and j contributions from the dtferent | schools of the city. The work of | local, state, and the national associa- , tion will be explained. An instruc- | tive and inspirational meeting plan- ' ned whichrit is hoped, will becomeonc^ of the outstanding annual events of 1 Columbia. It is planned to have the [ audience-seated- in the auditorium by school districts and an effort will be made', to create, beiwtidl the SL'huuls, a rivalry in attendance" at the meeting"*arid in the silver offering lifted. Let Columba turn out in full on the night of May 11 and till the Allen University Auditorium. The fact that this meeting is solely in the interest and welfare of Columbia's children should bQ enough to pack the bouse to the very doors^ 110 M E DEMONSTRATION WCU K ' AND BETTER HOMES WEEK IN RICHLAND COUNTY.
