The mothers meetings at Richie
school, on Wednesday and Thursday,
December 18th and Goth. were well at
tended, about fifty mothers In all be-
Ing present. To say that they were the
best yet yet held Is but expressing the
sentiment OF all, both mothers and
teachers, The meeting was In the ma
ture Of 4 round table, Some ten or
twelve points were presented by the
principal they having been suggested
by the teachers. Quite Z number of
the mothers. as well rs the teachers,
took part In the discussion. which WAS
of 4 very interesting nature. Supt. An
derson was present on Thursday. and
gave one Of his good talks. Some OF the
points proposed were as follows; /.
Home study. How much? Is It the
duty OF the parent to enforce IT.? Quite
n number Of the mothers were en-
phatic In saying that home study was
necessary, and they did enforce It. as
far NJ the larger pupils were concernul.
., Hardness. Can the parent assist
In breaking 1t up? 3. How far should
parents listen to children's tales con-
corning teachers and schools? This
caused quite Z discussion. One mother
said she considered herself ruler In the
household. but that the teacher was
ruler ut school, and she did not listen
10 tales ut all. Another said that while
she believed her children to be fairly
truthful, they were apt to color matters
that took place at school. and hence
she made all allowance for tales
brought home II anything serious,
she gencrnl7 tried to see the teacher.
etc, etc. 4. Do parents try to get ac-
quainted with the tcachciJ OF their
children? s. Do teachers take the pro-
per pains to got acquainted with the
parents OF their pupils? 6. Conduct of
pupils on their way to md from school.
q. Should parents discourage their
children In the study of music? These
are somr, OF the points discussed, The
next meetings will be held In February.
