A Parent-Teachers’ Club should be organized in every school. Early in
the year a meeting of the club should be devoted to the discussion of
out-of-school-hour entertainments. The superintendent should have the
pros and cons presented before the club by both parents and teachers.
The teacher who upholds parties should advise mothers to talk often with
their children upon the subject of desirable companions; to forego all
teasing of the sons and daughters about “girls” and “beaux”; and to see
to it that the young people have wise chaperons.
