Ry MAURICE MERRYFIELD I International Ittoat rated New* Writer NEW YORK—Forty years ago this spring two women in Washington, D. C-, initiated a movement which today claims more than 2,000,000 men and women members in United States. It was on Feb. 17, 1897, that Mrs. Phoebe Hearst and Mrs. Theodore Birney started to organize the National Congress of Mothers, an organization which was forerunner to ,the present Parent-Teachers association. At that time interest in parent education was beginning to be widely felt and the movement advanced with amazing rapidity. Each year has marked further progress and today the organization is one of the most effective and one of the largest having to do with social reform and education. Its influence is considerable in the field of legislation anil its efforts ; have immeasurably advanced child [ hygiene and raised the standards of teaching requirements and the quality of classroom work. National Congress in May Climax of the fortieth anniversary of P.-T. A.'s history will come at the national convention in Richmond, Va.. May 3-7. Mrs. B. F. Langworthy of Winnetka. 111., national president, is in charge of plans for observance of the anniversary. Although the P.-T. A. program was launched at a time when parent education was stiU very much in the experimental stage, the numerical progress of organization has been astounding. California

That will i take us. it seems to me, to the end of this session of the 74th congress.” He suggested the second session of the 75th congress would then be devoted to passage of new legislation to be followed by a period of ' litigation. "It therefore seems to me that it is a fair inference,” said Moley. ‘that the present so-called crisis cannot possibly lie met and definitely liquidated until the begin- . nlng of 1939.” o —• FINANCES MAY 1 <CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) . tur has a modern city hall and a separate building on Seventh street for the fire department, the city could not legally proceed tin Ker this law. When Bluffton built its community building all city offices were housed in it and profits from the electric plant arc used in paying the bonds. Bluffton owesj only a nominal amount on the building. Contribution Fixed The law fixing a city's contribution at $50.1)00 on a school project was passed many years ago. It has not been changed or amended and leading bond attorneys hold? that under its provisions the city; would be limited in increasing the 1 amount, unless a cash contribution ‘could be made from funds of the light and water utility. This would necessitate transfer of funds to| the general fund. Without the civil city aiding the . school city, it would be impossible | even to build a school alone, figI ured on the school board's bond ing power of $85,000. a building not exceeding $154,000, anticipate ing a PWA grant for 45 per cent could be built. This amount, PWA officials and school authorities vouch, will not be adequate for a school building. It the city should contribute the maximum of $50,000, a modern school and probably an auditorium could be built. The redm ed building would not contain those feu tures which the city would like to , have, such as a couple of small diu-

There are now 24,000 units of the association in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii. Each of these divisions will mark the P.-T. A.'s fortieth birthday with pageants, special programs and memorial tree plantings. The creed of the association is: "We are non-commercial and nonsectarian. We do not interfere with the administration of the schools. We aim at being nonpolitical. We indorse policies but not candidates.” P.-T. A. Has Done Much One of the primary objectives of the P.-T. A. is to obtain passage of , legislation favorable to pupils and schools. In this connection the organization has worked to Improve, moral and hygienic standards of J communities and to advance such I reform movements as that designed . \ to eliminate child labor. Near the top of the numerous achievements to the credit of the P.-T. A. is the pre-school roundup which has gone far toward cutting down the physical handicaps under • which many children formerly • started their school careers. Clinics . now examine and treat those enter- ■ ing the first grade who are found : to have physical or dental defects. Working with a harmony which would be impossible were it not for i the understanding and interest ■ stimulated by their mutual union, i parents and teachers are together : advancing their common cause—i the moral, physical and mental imi provement of young America!

The schoo 1 city is confronted with the problem of building a new school, as the Central and Riley buildings (West ward) have served thei rusefullness during the past 45 years and must be replaced. The buildings have not been totally condemned, but state inspectors have cited the poor conditions of both structures. If it is a case of deciding between a school and coiihuunity ■ building, naturally every public spirited citizen would rather see the school erected, as the commun ’ ity building might be built later 1 under some other plan. i The school board may file an ' amended application witli the PWA for asmaller building and if approval is given to such a project, - place the matter before the public i for a smaller building and if apI city officials, acquainted with dei tails and financial matters pertain- ' ing to the building project, concede that for the present at least the dreamed-of school and community building might not be possible. However, the determination was voiced by officials that eventually : some plan would bring about the I realization of such a building. “First we must provide for the school children and house them in sanitary, modern buildings." one official stated. “Then we must work together on the community II building project and get it," this i same official declared.

Only a week ago the i

militant mayor was forced to I order municipal service discontinued and the 680 consuinors disconnected. He then appealed to Judge Huber DeVoas, Decatur, for release from jail. Having won election on a platform pledging establishment of a municipal utility, Bungs had made every effort to establish one since he took office in January 1935. The power company obtained an injunction against commercial extension of the city s utility plant bat the court order was promptly violated and the fiery mayor was sent to jail for contempt of the Huntington circuit court. Bangs appealed the case to the 1 state supreme court but again he was defeated and finally last March 13 he issued the order discontinuing sale of power from the "toy" municipal plant. Today had been set as date for i hearing upon Bangs' request for 1 freedom but Judge DeVoss an- ’ nounced he will be unable to be in Huntington and Bangs will be forced to spend a few additional ' days in jail. u Eort Wayne Youth Killed By Truck Fort Wayne.

Alinadrones, on the Aragon highway leading from Soria, in the north, to Madrid, center of Spain, was the scene of the bitterest fighting during the last 24 hours. In a driving rain which hampered the highly mechanized units of both sides, the armies surged back and forth, the nationalists pushing back Mlaja's advance elements only to be ousted in turn when the loyalists' main, central column arrived.
