The challenge came from a Texan, Mrs. Leon S. Price, publicity chairman for the Na-- J tional Congress of Parents and Teachers. She spoke at the banquet ses sion of the annual state convention of the Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers. Chose Utah Theme The Dallas civic leader chose as her theme the 1960 Utah PTA theme, Strengthen the Home Our Responsibility, If we are to strengthen the home we must recognize," Mrs. Price said, that change is characteristic of our time . . . its roof C-- we must be willing to accept what is good and discard what is bad." an inTerming education vestment in the future, Mrs. Price urged that parents demand "education of the head, the hands and the heart." The Basic Skills These must include the basic skills, si ience, history and English, an ability to do something with their hands, and an ap pieiiation of our democratic hci ltage Noting the strength of the home is determined by the strength of the parents, she asked PTA leaders if they were guilty of weaknesses disclosed in a national study in which children were asked what they thought of their parents. The answers most often glvpn, she said, were that parents had bad dispositions, exercised unpredictable discipline, and often asked children to live up to standards they themselves failed to practice. F'otind In Home Our gieatest happiness Is found in the home," she counseled. In this age of materialism we sometimes miss this happiness because it doesn't cost anything." During the meeting life memberships were given to outgoing PTA officers for their services. Included in the group were Herald Carlston, Salt Lake City, scholarship chairman; Mrs. Everett Wood, , Murray; Mrs. Wilmer S. Clearfield; Mrs. Keith Pe terson, Richfield, and Mrs. Harold W.
