Keller. PARENT-TEACHERS OBSERVE THRIFT WEEK The Parent-Teacher Association of the Krrrville Public Schools observed National Thrift Week in their program Monday afternoon in the school nudtitorium. A. B. Burton, of the First State Bank, made a very interesting and educational talk on the subject.

The speaker first showed why voluntary organization, such as the P. T. A. should study the subject of thrift, as it ranio under the very important department of child welfare. The speaker defined thrift as an economical arrangement to spend less than earned, and therefore a very valuable asset to the welfare of a child.

Thrift began with civilization and increases with intelligence and education. The object of private economy is to increase the wealth of a nation, anit the savings of individuals compose the wealth of any nation. A thrifty person is acclaimed a public benefactor, while a thriftless person is scorned as a public: enemy. The speaker declared that the first thrift was in teaching children to save, systematically and constantly. Economy is no't a natural trait, but acquired after a mastery of desires and self denial.

Labor is not only a necessity but a blessing, as scientific research, invention, discovery and commerce show. It is the opposite of idleness, breeder of unrest, crime and selfishness. The thrift of time was also stressed, as thrift does not require superior courage, but common sense and determination. Mr. Burton declared that the three important "C's" in the business world were character, capacity and capital, which make credit.

Mrs. E. B. Meeker, delegate to the State convention in San Angelo gave a report of the meeting and of the increase of interest and enthusiasm as well as results accomplished during the past year. Mrs.

Horace Starkey gave two readings, "Lady Claire," from Tennyson and a Christmas sketch, "All for Rosa." The quartet from the high school, Misses Mable (Joodson, Marjorie Rose, Helen Ballon, and Mary Ellen Flenniken, sang "Mighty Lak a Rose" and "Little Chocolale Baby." Miss Margaret Pcavy was the director and accompanist. During the business meeting Mrs. E. G. Sieker, president of the organization, read a message of peace- and goodwill from the State president and excerpts from the Child's Bill of Rights by President Hoover.

The Child Welfare Committee were given permission to purchase remembrances for under-privileged children. RAINBOW GIRLS HAVE PARTY The members of the Kerrville Assembly of the Rainbow entertained with a party Wednesday evening of last week in the reception rooms of the Masonic Hall.

and Mrs. G. M. Doyle on Park Street. Miss Aimec Louise Schmerbeck, chairman of home missions, directed the program with the church school for Mexican girls at Taft as the theme.

After a cycle of prayer Miss Jenny Lind Ganter led the devotional lesson. Miss Anita Dietert sang a lovely solo, "Others," with Mrs. J. S. Colley as accompanist.

Miss Schmerbeck gave a brief introductory talk on Pres- Mex, as the school is named, and Mrs. Tom Anderson told the history of the founding of the institution. Miss Elsa Bea Henke outlined the study courses and the industrial work done by the girls, showing that education of the foreigner is the first step toward making a Christian. Mrs. J.

J. Delaney gave an interesting report of her recent visit in the school and of the needs of the students. Miss Lavene Hudson, who had through correspondence with the school secretary, obtained the names and ages of the students, assigned one student to each member of the Auxiliary. It is the privilege of the members to make small gifts, write letters, send cookies, school supplies or used clothing to her special pupil in the school.
