» PARENT-TEACHER MEETING 
(Continued from page 14) 
~Many views of the Panama exposi- 
tion were shown. 
Mrs. Rowe told of the deep impres- 
sion made upon the Eastern delegates 
by the magnificence of the school 
buildings throughout the West. She 
said that they were far ahead of the 
schools of the East not cnly in their 
splendid construction, but often in 
the superiority of the methods em- 
ployed in teaching. 
The meeting was opened by the 
“singing of “My Tribute,” the song 
dedicated to the National Congress of 
the Mothers and Parent-Teacher as- 
sociations by Mrs. Milton P. Higgins, 
president of ‘the Massachusetts 
3ranch. Following Mrs. Rowe’s talk, 
which was brought to an early close 
in order that she might get a train, 
the annual business meeting of the 
Manchester Parent-Teacher associa- 
tion was held. Reports of the vari- 
ous officers were read and committee 
reports received. According to the 
Meport Of the secretary, Miss -Lula 
Chapman, the membership of the as- 
sociation is 168. Reports were made 
of the social activities of the associa- 
tion during the past year and a re- 
quest by the social committee for the 
purchase of additional dishes was 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
granted by vote of the association. A 
large balance in the treasury was re- 
ported by thé treasurer, F. J. Merrill, 
who noted the fact that there was a 
number of members delinquent in 
their dues. A request was made that 
all members take care of their dues 
as early as possible in order to have 
the local branch make a good show- 
ing in the report to the state branch. 
On motion of Mr. Merrill the sec- 
retary was ordered to cast one ballot 
for the entire list of officers prepared 
by the nominating committee. The 
officers of the association for the en- 
suing year are as follows: 
President, Mrs. Seddie Follett; 
vice-president, Mrs. John J. Connors ; 
secretary, Miss Lula Chapman, treas- 
rer eb e Merri] |: 
Committees for the coming year 
were named as follows: Program, 
John C. Mackin, Raymond C. Allen, 
Oscar Raymond, Miss Anne Clarke 
and Mrs. Hattie F. Baker; visiting, 
Mrs. Alfred Saben, Mrs. William 
McEachern and Mrs. Robert Stoops; 
social, Mrs. Joseph Thomas, Mrs. 
Margaret Coughlin, Mrs. James Mur- 
ray, Mrs. F. G. Norris, Mrs. Charles 
FE. Bell, Mrs. James Gallagher, Mrs. 
Anna Gillis, Mrs. Thomas Wiggins, 
Wisse eG Mackin, Mrs’ Martin 
Flaherty and Mrs. Otis H. Bohaker. 
It was voted to give $5 to the jani- 
19 
tor of the building, George L. Leach, 
for the extra services he performed 
on behalf of the association during 
the past year. One of the committee 
reports which was particulary signifi- 
cant was that of the child welfare 
committee which found little to do 
owing to the splendid manner in 
which Manchester takes care of the 
health of its school children. 
A brief social session followed the 
business meeting at which light re- 
freshments were served. A selection 
by a quartet, of a child welfare song, 
was appreciated by those present. The 
singing of the Massachusetts song 
written by Mrs. Higgins concluded 
the evening’s observance of Child 
Welfare Day. 
WALKED ON IcE FROM Mystery Is- 
LAND TO SHORE. 
Forty-one years ago yesterday, 
Thomas William Neville of Beverly 
Farms, walked on the ice from Misery 
Island to Beverly Farms and_ back 
again. 
The harbor was completely frozen 
over, and it is said that no one has 
ever been known to walk that distance 
on the ice before or since Feb. 17, 
1875.
