B. II. Bium i, ehailman iif tin program cominitti'c, was i.i eliarge of the program. Mi - Martha Shannon of the public speaking i5 .utinrut of the High School gave two readings which were very inuci. i njoyed. Mi. Bruner then led in a .ii-aissioii of -c ine of the questions which were n - ceivnl from the parent- and teach'rconeenting eertain prohlems which ought to be looked into in the schools and homos. Tho Ijist ■ ostion to be discus.-ed was that of s’ ding among the High School stud) Both the toaehers and parents poi'ti il that many tilings were bed taken from time to time, and th; some money had been taken at varviu tnno.-. The discussion was very open and frank and the conclusion which was reached wa- a twofold o/o First, it wafelt by those present that then i- not enough teaching in • \her the homes or the -ehools regui' ling tli" sacred ne-s of the property of otliei.-. Parents and teachers ought to impresthe young people constanth that the taking of any thing in the imrperty line from another is just plain -tcaling and leads to the most si i ious issues in life. To tai " a book! or a small piece of mat' > d of any kind, is to steal. Then, it was felt that everything possible hould b" dent to li '-"n the tempt..t "it to teal. It was suggested that rent- who have ' money not give tie own children enough spending no ey to it a fal.-e standard of L ing annum the students and thus I e some t" -leal money to keep up that standard It was also sugg' d that parentought to be sure lliat they are uix ing their children t • thing- which are necessary for tr ir school wm \ so they might not L "inpted to pick up something which 'hey really ii" in their work. It '.is tlie genera! feeling that the w ie problem of .-teuling wa- one Ilia should receive* more consideration ■ i the home and the school and that li e mutter should be approached both from the standpoint of eliuiinatiin temptation ami also of putting higher moral standards into the mind of the young
people.
The problem of mmals in the High School life was di.-i u ed quite frankly by both teachei and parents. The
general feeling was t.iat while some ( . (lU||ly) b u t on

Four yeui- ago, he iclut-d to tlie w riter some of the things that had been tol l him in hi youth by old people.
