Slipped This Year $295.96
The Cass county fair cost to oper
ate this year $2,643.64, the receipts
being less than for former years
when concessions were paying better
as this year the weather was such
that the percentage propositions did
not pay well. There was only one
day with a real attendance and that
the closing day. This accounts for
the slump in receipts.
The valuation of the property of

Study Courses
for Parents in
Homes Planned
To Include Music, Recreation and
Similar Subjects as They
Apply to Child
Chicago In responce to a grow
ing eagerness of fathers and moth
ers to study their job professionally,
the executive board of the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers,
here, is mapping a program to assist
them.
Dr. Ada H. Arlett of the Univer
sity of Cincinnati, head of the bureau
f parent education, will make avail
able to the several thousand local
study groups of the congress pam
phlets and books which they can use
as texts, said Mrs. S. N. M. Marrs,
president of the congress.
There is much demand for pub
lished material, she added. The con
gress has urged its local units to
establish "parent bookshelves," but
there has been difficulty in filling
them with the right volumes. Mrs.
Marrs pointed out that literature is
needed which will meet the need of
the uneducated, as well as the cul
tured father and mother.
Mrs. Marrs said she expected to see
program of study developed which
will be useful not only to the or
ganized groups, but to" parents who
are not able to attend meetings and
have the study at home. The subject
matter is to cover the widest range.
The congress includes in its topics
for general study such subjects as
music, educational legislation, hu
mane education and resreation as
they concern children. Miss Charl O.
Winlliams. field secretary of the Na
tional Education Association, is
chairman of its committee on school
education.
Continued growth in membership
was reported, the total now being
,390,000. Less than a decade ago the
congress counteu lis members at
something like 200,000. A striking
feature of this growth is that most of
it is due to unpaid work of colun
teers. The salaried staff it still not
more than a dozen persons.
The congress has expanded so that
now reaches into many little
towns, bringing into a social circle
teachers many of whom formerly felt
themselves without contacts in their
communities, and parents some of
whom were too timid to enter the
portals of the public school.
