HARTINGTON - The Parent-Teachers’ Association meeting held at the high school auditorium, on Monday was one of the most largely attended and most interesting meetings which have been held by the organization this year.
The session was opened by the president, Mrs. M. E. Eby, and the high school teachers’ quartette, composed of Miss Blanche McCormick, Miss Marie Scott, E. L. Craig, and Dean McSloy sang the opening number of the evening’s program.
Mrs. F. P. Dorsey in the absence of Dr. Dorsey who was called away, read a very able and practical paper on the Medical Examination of School Children and Strict Quarantine and Prevention of Contagious Disease.
This was followed by a valuable talk by Dr. M. E. Eby on the Care of the School Child’s Teeth, in which he pointed out the necessity of frequent examination and the relation of sound teeth to the health of the child. Dr. Eby then gave several examples of what is being done along this line in many schools, especially in the larger communities.
E. L. Craig, physical director in the high school, gave an able address on Physical Training and Athletics and their beneficial effect not only upon the physical development but also on the mental and moral growth of the boys in the schools. Mr. Craig used facts and figures taken from the school records in support of all his statements.
Miss Buxton followed with an equally able and forceful address on the beneficial effect of similar training upon the girls showing that a strong mind and character do depend upon a sound body.
The program closed with a selection by the quartette.
