mother love, our desirs to crush out
existing evils from before our precious

ton. Are there not some things that
would leave you just a. we'll OF without
them"
The mothers were urged to consider
what benefits accrue from confidential
talks with the teacher. The teacher is
greatly helped by such cooperation. A
sympathy is aroused in the teacher by
the mother who wisely indicated what
she does or does not allow the. child to
do at home or OF shortcomings that the
child may have developed which she en-
d%eavoring to correct. Does tho teacher
comply when requested to INFORM the
parents of any misdemeanor on the part
OF the child kindly thank. him and re-
member that in confering the favor he
has run q risk and realizes IT.. Then
deal considerably with the child not
rashly; take the child alone, talk with
him about his fault or 6ndinniR and pur.
sue that course which will brlngsyhe best
