Shown above is Letitia Mason of
Raleigh, whose picture wrlll appear in
the 1932 Agromeck. N. C. State Col
lege yearbook. She was chosen by
Captain A. D. “Bud" Rose to sponsor
the 1932 basketball team. Miss Mason
attended every game the Red Terrors
played in the state this year.
causing him to be retained In the
same grade at a great added expense
to the state. This was not the fault
of the child but that of having one
teacher trying to teach too many
pupils. This condition often causes the
child to become discouraged and drop
out of school permanently. Mr. Mills
stated that about 78,000 children re
peat their grades annually in North
Carolina schools. The question of the
child’s health in overcrowded class
rooms was also discussed. Cutting the
school terms to six months was de
scribed as “mental indigestion” for
the child. Mr. Mills stated that it
would be as Impossible for the child
to absorb his eduo&tional develop
ment naturally in six months as it
would be for any person to eat all the
necessary food for a year in six
month's time. Mr. Mills stated that
there still remained numerous im
provement*.to ha made and problems
to be solved before the schools of
North Carolina could be expected to
efficiently meet the needs of the chil
dren of the state. In closing Mr. Mills
read for the audience the Parent-
Teacher creed of Hawaii which might
be adopted in studying present day
problems of our schools. It is as fol
lows: "We believe in the home as the
most efficient institution developed by
mankind for the maintenance and de
velopment of social welfare.
"We believe In the school as the
best agency, yet created to serve the
home supplementing It and cooperat
ing with it la the noblest work of the
world, the building of human char
acter.
“We believe in the parent whose un
selfish love for, and interest in' the
child makes possible the fulfillment
of an ideal.
“We believe in the teacher whose
faith in the future never dies; who
places service to youth above all
things material; whose love of the
child transcends all save that of hiß
mother.
“We believe in the child, the in
spiration of today, the hope of tomor
row, the binding of parents, the soul
of teaching; and so we believe in
parent-techer association, not as an
organization of parents created to
supplement the school In a task be
yond it; not too lesson their load; but
as the organization of parents and
teachers created by themselves, in the
interest of their most priceless pos
session. the child.”
Other features of the program were
the Croatan String Band of Hender
son, the Travelling Quartet composed
of colored singers of the community,
and a group of stunts by various men
of the community. The Croatan String
Band opened the program and played
at intervals throughout the evening.
They also amused the audience with
their colored comedian . acts. The
spirituals sung by the "Travelling
Quartet" brought much apppiause
also stunts by the men added to the
fun, especially one in which Mr. D. L.
Hoyle and Mr. Cline amused the au-
dlence by dressing fully In ladle*' ap
parel.
Thl* program known as ‘‘Father’s
Night” and featuring only the men of
the community proved to be a source
of much fun to the members of the
association a* well as bringing to
them * worthwhile talk on a topic in
which all patron* of ev*ry school are
vitally interested. The meeting mark
ed the largest attendance of the year.
