forges a connecting link between
parents and teachers, it promotes
civic interest in children of the
community, their schools and
their recreations.
The Child Welfare Depart-

believes that, by the interest
aroused in these contests, the at-
tention of parents may be called
to many needs of young children,
both as to the care of theii
bodies and of their minds. Miss
Jessie P. Rich, of this depart-

of Houston. Here is a school
district with possibly the lowest
percentage of tenantry of any
school district in Texas, (out of
the 83 farms 80 are farmed by
owners) and it is more than a
coincidence that this district has
a model rural school. It is one
