The educational committee OF the GEN.
eral Federation is doing yeoman service
for the schools In the different States by
bringing the home and the school into bet
ter understanding. 1t insists on the in
fluence of the home on the school; that
the training OF the school should be toward
the betterment of the home; that manual
and domestic science should have
a place, and large place, in the common
school curriculum, and strongly advises
that mothers clubs and parents and teach
ers unions be formed las n means TO unite
home and school.
"A curious outcome OF the general
spread of common schools in this country
Is the way mothers turn their children
over TO the schools TO be trained in morals
aud manners as we'll AS text books often |
with criminal negligence leaving to the
teacher the correction OF gravesr arrors
In the habits of their children. And yet
here in New England. where education Is
the sbiboleth, cry comes up from the
teachers for social recognition from par
ents. Think OF giving your childs Char
acter building into the hands of your So
cial inferior Was 1t not Alcibiades who
said Give your son to be trained by a
slave and he becomes slave|
In the South, fortunately. our teachers
are of our best people, and the social
equals of anybody.
Beware the worm!'' say the club women
to the railroads. The Northwestern road
saw At a few months ago 10 discharge all
IF its women employees at one fell swoop, |
because they were women" Now the club
women OF the Northwest are boycottms
the Northwestern. The clubs from Bos-
on TO Denver are discussing the subject,
md threatening to test the power Of con-
,erted action by women for women In the
business world. THE Club Woman" says:
The patronage OF club women has come
10 be a matter of importance to all sorts
If business" II so, then the rightlng of
such injustice lies in the hands of the
,lubs. R-S.T.
