Open Discussion
Held At Regular
P.-T. A. Meeting
An open discussion was held with
both teachers and parents on home
work given to students at a meet-
ing of the P.-T.A. October 3.
Miss Elizabeth Sisson and J. G.
Smith led the discussion. It was
pointed out by both parents and
teachers that a child usually has
enough time to get all the home
work required during his sudy
period.
It was brought out to the par-
ents that any time a child needed
extra help on any subject, his
teacher should be contacted, and
the necessary individual attention
would be given to clear up mis-
understandings.
Mrs. Emily Cook brought up the
subject that cots, bedding, and first
aid equipment should be secured
by the schools.
A committee was appointed,
headed by Mrs. E. Lowry, to se-
cure the necessary equipment for
the Collegeport School and the
East Side, West Side, and Negro
schools.
Approximately 65 people at-
tended the meeting. Mrs. Byron
King opened the meeting, and the
minutes were read by Mrs. Leroy
Hogg.

tured speaker at the Episcopal
Bishops’ Suppers beginning at
