Messrs Travis and Rawls being called
upon held a very amusing discussion on

eating the use Of the rod under any cir.

In order to call together the patrons
Of the schools printed circulars are cent
out addressed to mothers and explain
ing the cause OF the meeting as follows:
During the last few years large num-
Der Of papers and talks have been given
in the various Lincoln clubs, which are
Of special interest to mothers. Feeling
that these should reach larger audience
than they have yet found the child study
department OF the Womans club has
undertaken to arrange fIr the presenta-
tion OF some OF these subjects at the
various school buildings.
The object of holding these meetings
at the school buildings is two-fold:
1. 1t is hoped that by having these
subjects discussed in all parts OF the
town many .nothsrs may be able to hear
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1898-03-05

them who could not attend the regular
club meetings.
2, 1t is the best thought Of modern
educators that good results in educa-
ton car be obtained only through the
cooperation Of parent and teacher.
Parents must understand fully the
policy which the teacher is following in
the developing OF the child. Teachers
should know what is the ideal of the
home. II We are to have the best re-
suits, there must be a mutual acquaint-
ance and understanding, a working to-
gether for the good OF the child. 1t
should be definitely determined just
where home control ends and where
school control begins; how far teachers
should be held responsible for the NOR.
ais Of school children, and how much
responsibility rests with the parents.
1t is the intention Of the committee in
charge to give abundant opportunity for
general discussion at each meeting. and
it is hoped that the meetings will prove
Of great practical value to both teachers
and mothers.
