WILMETTE LIFE November 2. 1928 ···················································· Teachers, Mothen Enjoy · KefJilworth Hiking · Room Tea at Ruanak. Home Grou/1& Formulate A room tea for the seventh grade and special teachers, and the mothers of the- pupils Miss Davis' room at the Stolp school, was given Tuesday afternoon at the home of )..Irs. Samuel Rusnak, 1028 Chestnut avenue, Mrs. R. D. Taylor and Mrs. ]. A. Burrill assisting. After a spcial hour around a charmi-ng.ly arranged Hallowe'en table, there wele-.short talks by Miss Hayes, principal, and the teachers o~ vari.ou~ 5ubjects, followed by free dtscusston. Mrs. Kendricks, president of the Central-Laurel P. T. A. spoke briefly of the plans and aims of that orfanization, and urged 100% attendance. "These teas have a distinct value, not only as pleasant social incidents, but in the opportunity they give for a birdseye view of the school fabric as a whole, rather than piecemeal." said Mrs. Kendrick. "When we realize that our twelve-year-olds are grappling, not onl~ with Readin,' 'Ritin' and 'Rithmetic, but also with social science, general science, domestic science, manual training, spelling, grammar, hi~tory, literature, art, music, and athletics, and are ~alled upon to adjust tl,eir personalities not only to each other but to those of the teachers of all these subjects, it is plainly to be seen that they are realty getting a training for life, but that it may also have its difficult moments, both for teacher and pupil. The competent and thoughtful handling of these problems. as brought out in the discussions, renewed our pride and confidence in our school and our splendid corps of teachers."
