T. A. SONG 1. In the heart of good old U. S. A. We are here to stay, Kansas P. T, A. Parents, Teachers go hand in hand For we have the best in the land. CHORUS We’re the Kansas Parents, Teachers, On the job we’d have you know, Oh it’s onward, upward trying with a smile To equip for our nation, lads and lassies worth your while. Kansas Parents, Kansas Teachers, Always tried and true We’ll work in love and harmony for aye Always we’ll stand by you. 2. For child welfare there we take our stand We’re a mighty band, in our sunny land Better, higher our goal will be School and home and community. Tune: SMILES There are schools that make us happy, There are schools that make us blue, There are schools that make a boy play hookey, Just as much as studies ever do There are schools that seem to smile and meet you, Where the sunbeams always seem to play, Where the parent’s harmony with teachers Proves they have a P. T. A. 17 SERVICE (Moonlight and Roses) Service for others The P. T. A. Slogan should be Helping each member The beauty of life to see Sharing our blessing Brings golden dreams sparkling anew Service for others Brings joy deep and true. BATTLE HYMN FOR CHILDREN (Battle Hymn of the Republic) Our eyes may catch the vision of a line against the sky; Hundreds, thousands of our boys and girls, an army trampling by! Hear their challenge, Parent- Teacher? It’s a lusty one they cry! These children marching on. Refrain Glory! Glory! MHalleluyah! Glory! Glory! Halleluyah! Glory! Glory! Halleluyah! Our Children Marching on. Let us ring aloud our watchword, “Young America be strong!” Be the bulwark of a nation! Be the force to right her wrong! Parents-Teachers pledge their loyalty, their love for your song, Our children, marching on. Refrain Glory! Glory! Halleluyah! Glory! Glory! Halleluyah! Glory! Glory! Halleluyah! Americans! March on! 18 THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER — O say, can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming ? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses ? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream. ’Tis the star-spangled banner—O long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it e’er when freemen shall stand Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation! Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must when our cause it is just, And this be our motto—“In God is our trust.” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. —From “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key. 19.

Good character is property—it is the noblest of all possessions. Mrs. J. W. Oursler, Wichita, Editor, Kansas Parent-Teacher 4 President's Message This year the 30th Annual Conven- tion of the Kansas Congress of Par- ents and Teachers will be held in Em- poria, April 14-15-16. The convention has been planned so that it will be one large working group, rather than a number of smaller conferences. The individual delegate will therefore be able to take back to his unit a full measure of information, material and inspiration for next year’s important work. The convention has been placed in the middle of the week as requested by the government and we hope to justify every mile it takes to get us there and home again. Parent-teacher workers need a con- vention more than ever this year to plan for all types of study classes, to discuss questions on nutrition, work out recreation programs and other prob- lems essential to the war effort. The past months have been critical ones for our organization. As Mrs. Kletzer, our National President has said, “Today there are greater hazards than any we have known and from these we must protect our children. Physical danger, emotional strain and exploitations, and neglect of children are grim and un- relenting partners of every war.” Through your reports sent to the State Office and in visiting various units I learn of the splendid volunteer service our members are contributing to the war effort. We have established free milk and hot lunch programs, aided needy children, promoted better health through the immunization and Summer Round-Up programs, we have collected many pints of blood plasma, and have helped educate ourselves and the public through our nutrition and home nursing classes. Many hours have been given in our communities with the rationing pro- gram. We are putting into practice our training for parenthood, classes in child care, and parent education. While we are helping to win the war, today, we are not losing sight of the fact that we are molding citizens of tomorrow. I trust that every district will be well represented at the convention and that our members there will pass on to those unable to attend, much inspiration for next year’s work. Sincerely, Helen Emery. Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be for- ever encouraged. —Ordinance of 1787. Sunday is the golden clasp that binds the volume of the week. —Emerson. THE KANSAS PARENT-TEACHER x Mrs. E. W. Emery, Atchison, President Kansas Congress of Parents and Teachers VALUE THE PRESENT Today is your day and mine, the only day we have, the day in which we play our part. What our part may signify in the great whole we may not. under- stand; but we are here to play it, and now is our time. This we know: It is a part of action, not of whining. It is a part of love, not cynicism. It is for us to express love in terms of human help- fulness. —David Starr Jordan. ole s GRANADA THEATRE — EMPORIA ONE DAY ONLY Wednesday, April 14 W. L.

Mrs. Jesse Wire, Chairman Is your association still without a subscription copy of the National Par- ent-Teacher? If so, will you do some- thing about it as soon as possible? Each local association should have at least three subscriptions to the National magazine, one for the president, one for the principal’s office and one for circulation among members of the execu- tive committee. Only when every P.T.A. has a copy coming each month, will our National Wartime program be one hundred per cent effective.

The National Parent-Teacher is the official magazine of the National Con- gress of Parents and Teachers.

Other nominees include Mrs. L. W. Hughes, of Arlington, Tenn., for first vice-president; Mrs. H. S. Klein, of Huntington, W. Va., for secretary; and Mr. J. W. Faust, of East Orange, N. J., for treasurer. Voting is not limited to the nominees presented by the nominat- ing committee. The term of office is three years. The election, because the national convention scheduled for May has been canceled, will be held by mail ballot of delegates of the state P.T.A. congresses. Ballot- ing will begin April 25 and close on May 11. The tabulation will be on May 12, and results will be announced at the meeting of the Board of Managers in Chicago at that time. Mrs. Lytle, who currently is serving as treasurer of the National Congress, is a native of Tennessee but has made her home since 1912 in California where she has been prominent in civic and social welfare activities for many years. She became a member of the Board of Managers in 1938, as president of the California Congress. Mrs. Hughes, nominee for first vice- president, is now chairman of the Mem- bership committee of the National Con- gress and formerly was president of the Tennessee Congress. Mrs. Klein, nominee for secretary, re- cently was president of the West Vir- ginia Congress and has long been active in the parent-teacher movement in execu- tive capacities in her state. Mr. Faust, nominee for treasurer, has been national chairman of the committee on Recreation of the National Congress since 1925 and is district representative of the National Recreation Association in New York. SCHOOL LUNCH PROJECTS ATTENTION February 22, 1943 National Congress of Parents and Teachers, Attention: Mrs. William Kletzer, President. . Madam: Reference is made to your letter of February 10, 1948, in which informa- tion is requested relative to coloring oleomargarine for use in school lunches. You state that due to the scarcity of butter, it is found that it may be neces- sary to substitute oleomargarine and although the vitamin fortified oleomar- garine has food value the absence of color in the uncolored product lacks ap- petite appeal when served to children. Public school cafeterias do not fall within the category of institutions which would be exempt from liability to spe- cial tax under article 21(b) (2) Regula- tions 9. Uncolored oleomargarine may be used in the preparation of food in any form and the special or commodity taxes will not be incurred by the one so using it. However, if the uncolored oleomargarine is colored for use in lieu of butter in school lunches, or in the preparation of other food where the oleomargarine does not lose its identity as a distinct article of food, tax liability as a manu- facturer of colored oleomargarine is in- curred under the provisions of section 3200 of the Internal Revenue Code in addition to the commodity tax of 10 cents per pound imposed by section: 2301(a) of the Code on the quantity of oleomargarine colored. There are no restrictions on the use of the product which is colored when purchased. It may be used in lieu of butter in any manner without incurring liability to tax. However, if the colored product is mixed with butter for the purpose of increasing the amount of butter, the resultant product would be colored oleomargarine and the person so mixing the butter with colored oleo- margarine, would be liable to the special and stamp taxes as a manufacturer of colored oleomargarine as_ indicated above.

APRIL, 1948 Supt. W. M. Richards, Emporia, Third Vice-President NEW RULING ON PLEDGE TO THE FLAG Washington advises that when pledg- ing allegiance to the Flag the hand should be kept over the heart during the entire pledge. This is a change from the old practice in schools, when at the words “to the Flag” the right hand was extended, palm upward toward the Flag and this position was held until the end. A joint Resolution passed by the 77th Congress and signed by the President on December 22, 1942, reads as follows: Section 7 provides that the pledge of allegiance to the flag, “I pledge allegi- _ance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart. However, civilians will al- ways show full respect to the flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention, men removing the head- dress. Persons in uniform shall render the military salute. “You better live your best and act your best and think your best today; For today is sure preparation for to- morrow and all of the tomorrows that follow.” —Harriet Martineau. “Conserve Your Clothes” BON TON CLEANERS 811 Com’!

Grant us power to guard their health, education, recrea- tion, and spiritual development and to make them strong in body, mind and heart. Teach us to love our neighbor, that our children may learn tolerance and that there may be peace among nations. Free us from fear, that our courage may make our homes a haven of security for those we love. Strengthen us to endure whatever hardship and sacrifice may come, and in Thy good time lift us from the burden of war. Fill our hearts with faith that to our loved ones in service Thou wilt be a refuge; to our flag, a promise; to our country a fortress. Consecrate us to our tasks, and bless us that we may bless all children everywhere. GOD BLESS AMERICA God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, Thru’ the night with a light from above. From the mountains to the prairies, To the ocean, white with foam. God bless America, my home sweet home.

Con- vention to be held here in Hutchinson. It was in every way a privilege and a pleasure to have been hosts to all our Kansas P.T.A. workers. Also the inspira- tion which we received from the various meetings of the Convention has been put in practice. A number of definite goals have been attained. Week-Day Religious Instruction will be a part of our educational program next fall. A committee composed of representatives from the City P.T.A. Council, each P.T.A. unit, the Ministerial Alliance and a representative of the Board of Education, working under the Spiritual Education Committee Chair- man, developed a workable plan for our community. A permanent organization, with an executive committee and an ad- visory board, has been established. We are fortunate in having Judge F. B. LYRIC THEATRE “Your Patronage Appreciated” Hettinger, Judge of the District Court, as president of this commitiee. All schools are actively participating with the local O.C.D. committee’ in the National Defense program. The Sum- mer Recreation program will stress swimming for all children this summer. Last summer over 500 children partici- cipated in the swim classes. The City Council will present Supt. J. W. Gowans with a Life membership in April. Supt. Gowans is retiring after 43 years as an educational worker—21 years as Supt. of the Hutchinson schools. His whole hearted cooperation with P.T.A. has been most helpful and en- couraging. Classes in Nutrition have been spon- sored by Study groups of several of our units. Welcome to Emporia THE PALACE Fifth and Commercial St. EMPORIA FLORAL CO.

Congratulations. Stony Point Association of Muncie has had a busy year in spite of the many difficulties brought about by the war. We had to hold our meetings in the afternoon in order to have our teachers with us. They could not get back to night meetings because of transportation problems. So many of our mothers, like every where, are working so they could not come to afternoon meetings; so our at- tendance has dropped off some; but in spite of all this, we have carried on, sponsoring a blood bank, immunizations, ration registration, grease drives, Red Cross drive, Home Nursing class and First Aid. So I would say that the P.T.A. is one of the most needed organ- izations in our community and we intend to carry on and safe guard the health and lives of our little children. Mrs. H. H. Daniels. THIRD DISTRICT - Mrs. A. E. Stockebrand, Director The three Parent-Teacher Associations of Yates Center observed Founder’s Day together at the High School. All Parent- Teacher workers and teachers of our city schools have worked and cooperated on rationing books and all programs pertaining to war efforts. The Parent-Teacher Association of Ware School of Fort Scott celebrated Founder’s Day in a unique way. The president, Mrs. McDonald gave a brief history of the organization since 1928. The past presidents, who could be present, recalled high lights during their administrations. It was very interest- ing to hear how the P.T.A. started and from a small beginning developed into a strong unit, now working on such a large scale. Candles were lighted in memory of Mrs. George Wood, Mrs. Stanley and Mrs. Meek, efficient officers who have passed away. Mrs. Hankins, one of the teachers, gave a paper on the work of the Na- tional Congress and this was followed by the Penny Parade, and the election of officers. All units of Fort Scott are working hard and in spite of rationing are still able to serve hot lunches to an average of 140 children a day. The “Little Theatre” was a very successful project. Clema Hubbart, Publicity. SEVENTH DISTRICT Mrs. M. Erickson, Director Axtell Parent-Teacher Association held the first meeting in the new $100,000.00 school building and observed Founder’s Day. The April meeting will be an Open House and the new auditorium will be used for the first time. We have been rather cramped for space but our at- tendance during the winter has been large and we hope to begin in Septem- ber with an active membership drive and really do big things. Marysville’s big project at present is $150.00 to be loaned to worthy students for dental care and correction of teeth. Founder’s Day was observed by all of Manhattan’s Parent-Teacher Associa- tions at the Junior-Senior High School. Theodore Roosevelt P.T.A. had charge of the program assisted by the Junior- Senior High School Girl’s Sextette. Films of point rationing were shown and a skit on food rationing was given. Mr. F. E. Mordy gave the history of Founder’s Day. EIGHTH DISTRICT Mrs. Fred C. Barber, Director At Jewel, the theme of the March P.T.A. meeting was “Music.” “Bene- fits of Music for Small Children,” “Music for Older Children,” “and Music in the Home,” were the topics discussed. The Delphos unit set a goal of 100 members for the year. They have reach- ed that goal and this is a fine increase in memberships over last year. NINTH DISTRICT Mrs. W. M. Lovett, Director We have a fine report this month from Salina. Founder’s Day was ob- served by the Lincoln and Washington Units in a joint meeting. Mrs. R. R. Cooper, City Council President was their speaker and gave a fitting tribute to the Founders. An all girl orchestra, under the direction of Mr. C. F. Lebow furnished the music. Mrs. E. H. Linville, president of Lin- coln, sent us their program for the year. Had it been earlier in the year, it would have been difficult for me to conserve rubber, so interesting are the topics. Their last meeting will be April 29, 1943, and the subject will be, “Father’s Part In Developing Our Human Re- sources.” The theme for their study group was determined in a most orig- inal manner. Ask Mrs. Linville for in- formation on it. Her address is 1016 S. Ninth, Salina. Boe Mrs. Martin Erickson, Axtell, Seventh District Director TENTH DISTRICT Mrs. A. D. Lowe, Director Wichita LOWELL SCHOOL LIBRARY CONTEST Lowell School had a point system all its own, in a book contest recently which ended March 23, with the announcement of the winning room at the P.T.A. meet- ing. The purpose of the contest was to increase Lowell’s new library by a thou- sand volumes. In the rules of the con- test, 5 points were given to each new book, 3 points to an old book, and 1 point for a child’s magazine. Money donations of 50c were given credit for 5 points. 5 adult books or magazines received credit for 1 point. 500 points were added for the highest stack of magazines, and 25 points for transporta- tion vehicles. The three rooms winning the contest had special treats Friday, with the other rooms receiving “Consolation prizes.” 300 new and old books were added to the shelves of the new Lowell School Library, besides stacks of children’s magazines. $20.00 worth of old books were sold to a second hand store, and 160 good books and stacks of magazines were given to the men in Service. 17,590 pounds or 92 yards and 7 inches, meas- ured with a yardstick, were brought to the school within 10 days and then sold to the waste paper company bringing $87.95. Counting 12 feet to the floor, the Allis Hotel which is 17 stories high, would lack about 72 feet being as tall as the stack of magazines gath- ered. However, the Allis Hotel has a 150 foot tower above the seventeenth floor. $127.09 were the cash donations. Grand total for the contest was $235.64. * APRIL, 1943 15 Much healthy competition and fun re- sulted from the contest. Boys and girls are anticipating many hours of enjoyable reading now and in the months to come. Attics, basements, and garages have surely had their “spring housecleaning.” Mrs. R. T. Canary, Publicity Chairman, Lowell P.T.A. Mary had gobs and gobs of books, “Colliers,” “Posts,” “Lifes,” and “Looks,” She brought them all to school one day, And the teacher said, “Why say— These books will help us win the prize, And help us beat the other guys.” Bob Chastain—5 B. McCormick P.T.A. entertained the teachers with a covered dish dinner in the school auditorium on St. Patrick’s Day. The intermediate Girl Scouts of Me Cormick helped with the serving. Mr. McAllister, Supervisor of Physical Education in Wichita Schools, led the group in games and every one had a most enjoyable evening. Mrs. Robert Hayford, Publicity Chairman. ELEVENTH DISTRICT Mrs. John Daly, Director Greetings to all members of District 11. A letter from Macksville Unit reports this very interesting meeting. With the stage set to represent the living room in the home of James Whitcomb Riley, as he sat musing on his poem, “Think- in’ Back,” he fell asleep and the char- acters of his favorite poems, represented by Parent-Teacher members, came to call as the readings were given by mem- bers of the High School Dramatic Class. The Liberty Junior High School Unit of Pratt had a “Back To School For Parents” meeting recently. Following a general assembly in which the school principal presided, the teachers went to their respective rooms. With the bells set to ring at fifteen minute intervals, parents went through their child’s daily schedule, thus meeting the teachers in the same way that their child does each day. Yes, some parents even had to be sent to the office for tardy slips. The study groups of North and Cen- tral Grade Units in Pratt have united this year in a Home Nursing Class. The Red Cross Manual on Home Nursing has been used and the class has been taught by a registered nurse. Over only three buildings in America does the national flag fly officially night and day continuously—over the east and west fronts of the National Capitol and over the adjacent House of Representa- tives and Senate Office Buildings. The two emblems over the Capitol (storm flag size) are replaced every six weeks.

Harbaugh State Publicity Chairman To succeed in writing publicity one must know (1) the story of the work to be described so as to utilize all oppor- tunities for news that may arise in con- nection with the organization; (2) one must know how to recognize news values and to be able to make the story crisp and alive, and (3) one must know the papers and other publications for which the material is prepared. This poem by E. Thayles Emmons, Geneva, New York, illustrates these points very well: THE CITY EDITOR AND A PRESS CHAIRMAN The editor sat in his easy chair Smoking his pipe with a nonchalant air; Trying to snatch a moment’s rest While news poured in from east and west. He was tired, dead tired, with his morn- ing’s rush, With the hurry and scurry and scramble and push That was a part of his daily life In a job chock full of worry and strife. “Tap, tap,” came a knock at his sanctum door. “Come in,” he called with a lion’s roar. There entered a lady, gentle and shy, With trembling lip and quivering eye. The gallant editor sprang to his feet He bowed quite low the lady to greet. “Your errand?” he asked, the lady smiled With eyes as meek as those of a child. Looking straight at the editor’s shoes; “T’ve come,” she said, “with a piece of news. I’ll give you the facts now bit by bit, And you'll write it up as you see fit, How you do it I don’t care a fig, Only be sure that you make it big. Print at the top of the very front page Or all the club ladies will be in a rage. And, if you please, a two-column line Used as a heading would be just fine.” “But what’s it about?” and the editor sighed. “We had a meeting,” the lady replied. “T hurried right down as soon as I could To get it printed; they told me you would. We had a speaker; ’twas no one I knew, And somebody sang; I forgot to ask who. And to top it all off they served ice cream and cake Now how much of an item ought that to make?” The editor smiled a weary smile And asked some questions and after a while Set down a few facts, and guessed a few more And wrote up an item—an inch or more. And the ladies who read the paper that night Complained that “he never gets any thing right.” But right near by on the very same page Was another item that stirred their rage. And as a report it couldn’t be beat. It told WHEN and WHERE and HOW and WHY And not a fact did it pass by. It named the speaker, told what he said Gave important parts of reports that were read. It mentioned the music and told who sang And throughout the item the praises rang For the committee that staged the event; Giving them credit for the way things went. “Rank discrimination;” thought; But now was it, really, or was it not? With the report that made them so mad The editor used all the facts that he had. “Twas nice and long and quite complete. And with the other he did the same, But the second lady knew the game. She told him all he wanted to know, Enough to make a column or so. And had he not stopped her, I’m ready to bet That active press-lady would be talking yet. You see the point; yes, it’s perfectly plain, And also the moral, I need not explain. So in choosing a lady to cover your news Just get a “live wire.” Use care when you choose. the ladies 16 THE KANSAS PARENT-TEACHER * DIRECTOR ¥ POLK-A-DOT CAFE KANSAS CONGRESS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS gers =.
