About one hundred and fifty members were present. President William A. Taege wag la the chair. Mr. Koch stated that the home Is the foundation life, Its teaching having much to do with the progress of the child ln school, during the moulding period, and the success of the two usually result ia good for the third, the church.

advanced a few facts to show the necessity of good homes, good schools and good churches for tne development of good cltlzensnip. He stated that Judge A. C. Backus of Milwaukee has bad unusual success in making good citizens out ot court paroled people, who have been requested to attend Sunday: school and church during the sug-i pended sentence period. Authority The speaker said that much harm comes to a child when his parents take his side in an expression against the teacher, either right or wrong, as it has a tendency to lessen the teachers' and probably tha parents' authority over a child.

said that a child gains very little through preaching during the adolescent period of life and that he la simply an Imitator, doing only what he sees and not as he is told. Before concluding his remarks he urged the parents to teach tha art of saving and spending to their children, pointing out the better results that come to the boy or girl who earns the allowance After the address, and the applause that followed, community singing was enjoyed, led by Lpal gwenspn Education Is Necessary i Mr. Balcorab, the second speaker stated i that the present Is sometimes charged to tha form of government in this country, is not rightly placed as the gor-. ernment Is what the people maka it, and that if there is anything wrong it is because the people are so inclined.

Statistics, ua quoted, placed the people of this country, as a whole, in the sixth grade, the intelligence of an eleven years old person. Referring to the money earned by people, be stated statistics ghow that the average wage of those who failed to graduate from High school is about $500 annually while a graduate averages $1,000 a year. A person spends seven hundred days in High school and If he works for twenty years his pay for scnooi, over the wages earned by the one of lesser education, gives him $28 tor each day he attended the high school. The speaker urged the par ents to have their children graduate from High school and cited ex amples proving that academic in- structions have been essential in. tho foundation for vocational and other work that 13 worthwhile.

School Most Important The speaker stated that the school is the most important of the three essentials discussed by Mr. Koch, declaring that the moulding period is the hardest because It is in the 'teen age when good examples must he put before the boy or girl to follow. He urged co-operation ot tne teachers and parents, suggestea that the parents impress authority upon their children so that the 'eacher will not be burdened by tha 'ack of that essential, and brought forward other responsibilities of 'he parents to their children in the way of using them as pals and not "kids" In order that they may 'lave loftier ideals of lite. His remarks were greatly appreciated and a rising vote of thanks was given him. Business Meeting The business meeting was brief.
