Dear Rural P. Te Ae Presidents:

Another year of work is ahead of you and your member ship e
The times are challenging to all perent-teacher workers

to help "hold the line" for free public education in Amer-
ica, when all the world seems to be in a chaose

As your Rural Director in P. T. Ae, may I make a few
suggestions which might be of help to you and your co-
workers? Thank yout

Le Study your unit packet carefully, purposefully,
and prayerfully with your executive committee, pass-~
ing out all materials to cach chairman to use in
planning on a cooperative basis for the good of the
ETOUP.e

2, Use your narent-teacher magazines, both state
and national for timely topics, talks, comments,
newspaper write-ups, publicity items, study groups
work, etc. They are invaluable.

3. Use useable suggestions from each state chair-
men's letters and plans as they appear in the packets
and megazines. Each chairman has some fine helps

if you but ask for them.

4. Cooperate with your County Superintendent's
educational program, your County Health Nurses's
program, your County P. T. A» Council program,

(if you have one) and of course your local school
people's progran cf worke This year, perhaps, you
WilL be asked to cooosrate with other programs and
agencies with the verious groups for the national

Q
defense. Lets be good citizens all, and do our parte

determine needs in these fields:

(b) Adequate education for all
Good library service for school and community
Safety needs of homes, schools and community
Adequate religious facilities for all
Is there a need for student aid?
