Parent-Teacher Association. 
A meeting of the Parent-Teacher 
association in Manchester was held 
Wednesday evening at the Primary 
school, when the subject of a ‘‘Saner 
Fourth’’ was discussed by Mrs. Mary 
Hervey of Malden who alluded to 
the present method of observing our 
great national holiday, Jntly 4, as 
‘‘harbarous.’’ She said there had 
been more lives lost in celebrating 
July 4 than in the war of the Union, 
and in the last 10 years, the number 
of accidents increased 10 per cent. 
On June 17, 1904, there were 213 
casualities in and about Boston as a 
result of celebrating Bunker Hill 
day that year—two-thirds as many 
as the loss in the Battle of Bunker 
Hill. She questioned this method of 
showing . one’s patriotism. She 
hoped for the time when this method 
of celebrating our holidays will be 
done away with, and when a more 
wholesome means can be employed 
of making the day one of pleasure. 
It should be a day of joy and in- 
struction along historical lines, and 
not of danger and rowdyism. She 
presented some figures showing the 
amount of money spent annually for 
fireworks and also showing the num- 
ber of casualities and serious acci- 
dents. She told also of. legislation 
which is being made in this state, 
and which had been made in other 
states, looking toward a ‘‘saner 
Fourth.”’ 
Previous to Mrs. Hervey’s’ talk, 
Misses Nellie Leonard and Jessie 
Alexander gave an account of their 
attendance at the conference in 
Worcester on April 22 and 23. On 
motion of G. E. Kitfield, a vote of 
thanks was extended to them for 
their report. Miss Dora Marshall 
played on the piano Leybach’s 
““Rifth Noeturne.’”’ 
After the address some boys and 
girls from the seventh and eighth 
grades of the grammar school sang 
“The Old Guard.”’ 
Representative Raymond C. Allen 
told what the legislation was doing 
about enacting laws looking toward 
saner celebration of the Fourth and 
other holidays. 
The meeting came to a close by all 
singing ‘‘America’’, after which the 
gathering adjourned to the lower 
floor where refreshments were 
served by the committee in charge, 
composed of Mr. Mackin, Miss 
West, Miss Alexander, Miss Katon 
and Miss Clark. -
