Friday, December 4, 1919 (1918) the regular monthly meeting was not held, there being not a majority of members present.  Informally the mothers present offered their help in anyway they might be needed for the xmas entertainment.

Jan 2, '19

The regular monthly meeting of the Assoc. was held January 2, 191.  The minutes of the last meeting were read and the Treas. read her report, and stood correct.
It was moved and carried that the bills from the stage ($16.66) and for the piano ($125.00) be paid in full.  Also, that a paper cutter and hectograph(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hectograph )

 

be bought and paid for.

The secretary was asked to write again to the Cable Music Co, for the school music books.
The meetings did not seem to give the interest to the parents as our President would like them to.  The Pres. gave us many valuable means to help give new life and tome to the Assoc.  One way was to have a mother or outside citizen give a short talk on a helpful and valuable subject.  Or contests would help to give some new interest & enjoyment to the members of the Assoc. and induce others to come and share with them.
It was decided that Mrs. Parliament be asked to talk on "The Value of Religion in the home".

The teachers offered to bring a new line of interest in the mothers to visit and become interested in the Assoc. by having the school entertain the mothers for part of the school afternoon.

It was then mentioned that the last Friday in each month would be a better day for the Assoc. meetings.  Therefore, the regular monthly meeting of the Assoc. will be held on the last Friday of each month instead of the first.

The teachers promised to give a program to represent some part of the school work done during the month.

There being no further busy the meeting was adjourned.

She also helped to make clear the aim and purpose of the association.
  Mrs. Doran was present at this meeting. She offered her services in any way that she might be of help and benefit to the school.  She also  tried to make us see and feel the value of music in the school & home.  Mrs. Doran is a woman who has traveled some and offered to give a talk on the visited countries, home life and arts produced.  Mrs. Doran offered the association her piano at a very reasonable price.
