The Parent-Teacher Movement affords a wonderful opportunity for everyone in the community interested in Child Welfare.

Thus, through united efforts, progress is made toward the primary objectives of child welfare and service programs.

MRS. G. H. WENTZ, First Council President.

yOUAREINVITED !

The announcement of Parent-Teacher Week means that here is a golden opportunity to interest everyone in your community in the Parent-Teacher Association. We need to enlist the aid of fathers, mothers, teachers and all who care for children. Everyone loves a child and it is around the hearth, stone and the school that this interest is centered: Remember, a busy member is an interested member.

MRS. PERCY POWELL, President of the 'N._ebras~a Congress of Parents and 'Teachers.

You AREWELCOME!

Schools are maintained for the benefit of the boys and girls who attend them. Since both parents and teachers are so intimately concerned with e2.ch child's progress and welfare, it is most important that the largest possible degree of understanding and cooperation be established between the home and the school.

The observance of Parent-Teacher Week in the schools provides an excellent opportunity for the parents and teachers to become acquainted at the beginning of the school year. A most cordial invitation is extended to all to visit the schools. It will be a great pleasure to both pupils and teachers to welcome you, not only during P. T. A. Week, but many times during the course of the year.
