　　文化面面观

　　PTA 家长教师联合会　　For more than a century, Parent Teacher Association (PTA)hasprovided support, information and resources to families focusedonthe health and education of children. The organization wasfoundedin 1897 in Washington DC as the National Congress of MothersbyAlice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst. If not forthesewomen and their vision and determination, there would not be aPTAorganization that has been woven into the very fabric ofAmericanlife.By whatever name it has been known, National PTA wascreatedto meet a profound challenge: to better the lives ofchildren. Andtoday, it continues to flourish because PTA has neverlost sight ofits goal: to change the lives of children across ourgreat nationfor the better.Alice McLellan Birney and PhoebeApperson Hearstfounded an organization of nationwide movement at atime whensocial activism was scorned and women did not have thevote. Theyknew there is no stronger bond than that between motherand child.Therefore, they felt it was up to mothers of this countrytoeliminate the threats that endangered children. They calledforaction in 1897 and more than 2,000 people responded anyweremothers, but fathers, teachers, laborers, and legislatorsalsoresponded well with a commitment to children. From thatfirstmeeting in Washington DC grew a groundswell ofsupport.Problemswere identified and strategies devised to resolvethem. Throughconsistent hard work, sometimes after years ofperseverance, thedreams became reality: the creation ofkindergarten classes, childlabor laws, a public health service, hotlunch programs, a juvenilejustice system, and mandatoryimmunization were accepted asnational norms. Between 1897 and 1919,37 state-level congresseswere chartered to help carry out the workof theorganization.(http://www.pta.org/ap_our_history.html)
