P.T.A. Mrs. N. ·o. Symonds of Hinsdale, first vice president of the Illinois Congress of Parents and Teachers, spoke before the Logan-Howard Parent-Teachers association Tuesday afternoon. The program was opened with a group of songs by Mrs. Benner, accompanied by Mrs. Bushby, both members of this P. T. A. Mrs. Groves, program . chairman, introduced the speaker for Founders' Day, calling attention to the fact that the local organization has been in existence since 1913, when a small group of parents and teachers entered into ·partnership to improve the mind, body and character of young America. Mrs. Symonds reviewed the history of the Congress of the Mothers, as first called together in 1897, through Mrs~ Theodore T. Birney and Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, and paid sincere tribute to these courageous and far sighted women and their followers. Illinois, which was the first to form a ·state organization, was led in April, .1901 by Mrs. McMullin of Evanston. The last ten years has seen a marvelous growth of Parent-Teacher or.ganization'3, bringing in one and a quarter million persons in forty-seven states. the District of Columbia, and Hawaii. This rapid growth has madQ it necessary to departmentalize the work in Illinois through eight vice-prtsident'3 and committees such as legislative, child hygiene. etc. All workers are volunterrs. and only traveling expenses are covered by the organization. The annual dues of each group are rated· at ten cents per capita, half of which goe-s to the national and half to the state P. T. A. This would surely seem very mode st in comparison with any club or sorority. At the same time v~:ide opportunities for service and friendship are offered to those who join in the v1ork.
