Nome PTA Seeks
More Parents
At Meetings
Will Meet Tomorrow
In School at 8 P.M.
In their drive for membership,
the Nome Parent-*Teacher Associ
ation has announced that there
will be an open meeting to the
public Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m.
in the Muti-Purpose Room of ;the
school. The regular meeting will
be followed by a film entitled,
“Another to Conquer.” The film
pertains to tuberculosis and its
prevention. This film should be
of interest to all. Refreshments
will be served later. .... *
At recent meetings of the Exec
utive Board and at regular PTA
meetings, it has been brought out
that many people do not know
what this association Is or for
what, it stands. *
I “One bf‘ the greatest interests
of the PTA,” stated Richard Aug
ust, “is the welfare of the chil
dren. Many people may wonder
where the PTA could assist in
the welfare of the children. This
is done by teachers and parents
meeting and discussing the prob
lems on an informal basis. This is
done or can be done after the
regular business or during the
time that follows the meeting.”
He also stated: “The basic aim
of the PTA is to help parents,
teachers and other interested per
sons to gain knowledge of the
child, his growth, development
and needs. It is a science of child
| study. This is done by discussions,
panels and films prepared for the
PTA. The PTA meeting is an ed
ucational program to promote
child welfare.”
There are over nine million
members of the PTA. These in
clude associations in Alaska,
Puerto Rico, and Guam, also mil
itary bases in the Azores, France,
England, 'Formosa, Germany, and
many other places.
Nome’s PTA membership, ac
cording to the number of children
in school, is less than 20 percent.
The local chapter is asking each
parent to join the Nome chapter.
A house-to-house campaign to
gain membership is planned.
