Hold Its Regular November
Session.

A mother is the greatest executive in the world," stated Mrs. W. G. Dunkum, quoting Dr. Ada Arlitt, national P.T.A. chairman, in a group study Tuesday afternoon in the school auditorium preceding the regular November session of the Marlin Parent-Teacher Assocating, adding:

"A mother's first obligation is to the child and first, to give the child health; second, to stress obedince (sic) at all times.  "Spare the rod and spoil the child" is no longer the slogan of the mother.  Begin right in the matter of obedience and the child will soon learn he must obey at all times.

"Giving children responsibilities, making promieses to children only when meaning to keep them and seeking to gain the children's confidence." were other points discussed.

This was the first of a series of four group study classes to be held by the Marlin P.T.A. to discuss child welfare.
