PARENT-TEACHER MEETING. 
The Blynman School Parent- 
Teacher association met Tuesday at 
the schoolhouse on Magnolia ave. 
for the regular March meeting.. 
Next month the annual meeting will 
be held, and the following commit- 
tee was appointed to nominate 
officers: Mrs. Frederick Dunbar, 
Mrs. Ethel Story, Mrs. Abbie Story, 
Mrs. Willard R. Boyd and Mrs. 
William Symonds. Miss Elizabeth 
Brown is to be chairman of the 
social committee for the April meet- 
ing, and she will be assisted by Mrs. 
Sylvester Height, Miss Ida Moore, 
Mrs. Theresa Knowles and Mrs. 
John H. May. 
After the business of the meeting, 
the first speaker, Miss Egbert, of 
Gloucester, was introduced. Miss 
Egbert, a well-known literary wom- 
an, is planning a magazine, to be 
published monthly in behalf of the 
work the Parent-Teacher associa- 
tions are doing, and she will edit it 
and will herself write a great deal 
Notary~ Public 
of the reading matter. Owing to 
her long experience in magazine 
work and in library work, which is 
of great service in reference hunt- 
ing, she seems singularly well 
qualified to undertake the work, and’ 
the success of the magazine seems 
almost assured before the presenta- 
tion of -its first number, which will 
be brought out about the 20th of 
this March. The subscription will be 
only 50 cents for the year, or 25 
cents for six months. _ 
Mr. Ireland, of the Collins school. 
of Gloucester, addressed the meeting 
upon a subject about which he is very 
enthusiastic — ‘‘Gardening.’’ Mr. 
Ireland said that most speakers. 
claimed the attention of their 
audiences because they had made a — 
success of something; he was dis- 
tinctive in having made so many 
failures. He said that he supposed: 
he was responsible for more weeds — 
growing in Gloucester’ than. any’ 
other man in the city. Proceeding 
to the serious consideration of his 
subject, he gave some figures to give 
a little understanding of what has: 
already been done along these — 
pioneer lines. As yet city govern-— 
ments have done little, but the: 
United States and state authorities: 
are doing a great deal. Last year, 
in this state alone, 40,000 childrenin:
