PARENT-TEACHER MEETING 
First MEETING OF SEASON AT 
MAGNOLIA SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR 
The first meeting of the Blynman 
Grammar school Parent-Teacher as- 
sociation was held at the schoolhouse, 
Wednesday evening, with a large at- 
tendance. The meeting was a most 
satisfactory one from all viewpoints, 
and the new electric lights, recently 
installed, added greatly to the enjoy- 
ment of the evening. The meeting 
was opened by Mrs. H. C. Foster, the 
new president, who first announced 
the resignation of the present treas- 
urer and appointed a committee of 
three, Mrs. D. C. Ballou, Mrs. Fred- 
erick Dunbar, and Mrs. Clifford 
Story to select a candidate, to be vot- 
ed upon at the next meeting, Tues- 
day evening, December 8. The sec- 
retary, Mrs. Oscar P. Story, read 
the minutes of the meeting which the 
officers and teachers held at the home 
of the president some time ago to dis- 
cuss winter plans. A motion was 
made and carried that ice-cream and 
cookies shall be served at each meet- 
ing and that each member present 
shall pay five cents for each dish of 
ice-cream he purchases. At this 
purely nominal price the expenses 
can be paid without being a burden 
on the committee in charge of the 
evening. The next meeting will be 
held at the school Tuesday evening, 
December 8, and Mrs. Higgins, State 
President of the Massachusetts Par- 
ent-Teacher association has offered to 
be the speaker of the evening, 
Mrs. Higgins is a very enthusiastic 
worker and a fine speaker. Doubt- 
less there will be a record attendance 
to hear her speak. Miss Mary 
Brooks of Gloucester was the speak- 
er Wednesday evening and she deliy- 
ered an interesting talk on “A Red 
Parent-Teacher Association,” which 
was based on her own novel experi- 
ences in Southern California, parti- 
cularly at the Indian reservations 
where she was a welcome visitor. 
The first, and perhaps the most ex-— 
traordinary, because so crude, was 
the school at Cahuilla. The photo- 
graphs of the place, which the speak- 
er provided, showed the schoolhouse 
to be a rough board building, unfin- 
ished and not an especially inviting 
place for the home as well as for the 
work-shop, so to speak, of a white 
woman, for the teacher there is white 
and makes her home at the school- 
house. Most of the boys and girls 
came to school bare-headed, bare- 
footed and thinly clad, although the 
weather was cold, but most of them 
were fairly clean. The school ses- 
sion was much the same as in the 
eastern schools with one notable diff- 
erence, the Government served bread 
and honey at luncheon time. . 
This seeming extravagance on the 
part of the Governement was ex- 
plained by the fact that the Indians 
seem to have no idea of the proper 
care of milch cows and allow them to 
run with the calves. Thus, they have 
no milk, and butter is at a premium. 
Another rather amusing custom was 
the doling out of cough syrup to the 
pupils by the teacher in charge. The 
syrup is furnished by the Govern- 
ment and some of the younger boys, — 
particularly, always seem to regard 
it as a treat. Miss Brooks made one 
interesting commentary on the Indian 
students, that they seemed less mis-
