TEACHERS And MOTHERS.


The Teachers and Mothers Meeting
held at the High School yesterday
afternoon was a most fattering sue
cess, an occasion for which those
present felt indebted to the educa-
tional o1mmittee of the New-Century
Club. The chairman of the commit
tee, Mrs. Alfred ID. Warner, presided,
after being introduced by Superiuten-
dent VWi tmyeI of the city public
schools. The two speakers were able,
interesting and brief, adVanoing
theories aud Arguments Of great coed
sense With con Viction. Miss Lily v.
Williams, superintendent OF the Nor
NAL School at Trenton, n j., who
vas first intrnu uceo, spoke Of the 90.
operation OF she home and school from
the teachers standpoint.
She began with a story Of a child,
! bright but nervous and sensitive to
ridioule. His first teacher acoi
dentaliy discovered that ridioule would
instantly quell any unruliness on bis
part this knowledge was impaired TO
other rreceptors Of his and spread to
bis playmates. This unfortunate dread
kept him always from attempting new
things and naTroW wed and blighted his
life. HAD there been any sort of com
munication between mother and teach
ers, perhaps much that was painful to
his nature could have been prevented.
A different standpoint distinguished
present day educHtion from the old.
1t recoQn izss a child as a little mass OF
buds, germs and promises, which will
! finely grow into msn or woman.
The child is no longer thought to be a
small edition of an adult. burbank 8
discoveries and experiments in plant
life are suggestive TO the teacher. We
pay more attention to heredlty, to cir
cumstances and environing conditions
than our predecessors did. Every
child is mass Of possibilities. Upon
his parents he is mostly dependent
they control countless relationships
physical, mental, those of the commu-
/ nifty and his religious inolinatlons.
| The child should grow up to be a good
man or Wcman good in every sense,
morally, physically, a good citizen
/ able to earn a good living, and TO be a
Z good parent To accomplish this it is
! absolutely necessary for cooperation
between home and school. Teachers
are hOpelessly dependent on what is
done for the child at home. Religious
training belongs to- the home and
morals to the school while he is there.
The school has part which IS prop
erly its own. The State takes upon
itself the duty Of preparing the child
as a wage Garner. as be will be a
citizen be must know some thing OF
the organization Of society, hence he
has geography, history, government
among his studies. AS he must mlnRle
with his fellows he learns language, to
compute be learns arithmetic. These
purely school subjects are means to an
end.
Teachers are often retarded by physi-
cal defects of children, which u ls the
parent's duty to have corrected. Slight
defects of eyesight, hearing or throat
often retard ohIldTen, especially Ia
their reading. The teacher of 40 chill
! dren cannot always know Of these oe-
feets, but the parent may know and
have them rsmedied. The chiet ob'
stscle that prevents better results IN
our modern educational systems IS tne
lack OF co operation between school
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1906-02-16

development Of the children. There is
an unrest in the country about moral
training, especially since 80 many for
eiQn children have come to Us.
Before introducing Mrs. Warner,
Superintendent Iwitmyer spoke
briefly, saying that many mothers
and parents meetings had been held 10
our schoolhouses, usually under the
auspices of the principal and that IN
many sections the school stands for the
highest and best in that community.
The efforts Of the present administra-
tion are directed toward making the
school and home cooperate and work
for the highest interests Of the chill
dren.
After the conclusion of the two
speakers Mrs. Warner said she was re-
minded of the tree planting on the one
mile road between Camden and Myom-
ing. Wyoming began, at the ilstiga-
tion of its woman's club, and planted
the trees for one-half the distance.
Camden responded by placing shade
trees along the other half. This story
was included in the forestry report for
the biennial federation of women s
clubs and has infiusnced the cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis to plant a
double row of shade trees along the
road between those two great cities.
When he thanked the educational
committee at the close Of the meeting
for the entertaining and helpful hour
and said that the time had been we'll
spent, Superintendent Iwitmyer voiced
the sentiment of the teachers ana
mothers present. Some Of the mothers
who attend meetings and classes at
the Peoples Settlement we're present.

and home. The school needs the help
az the home. The teacher cannot with
out helm from the mother properly
teaoh the child. The teacher knows
her method and psychology, the
mother knows the child and a great
deal will be accomplished when they
confer together, two good women both
desiring the best for the child. Then
his true growth eusues and his best
possibilities are uniolded.
Mrs. Mary V. Grioe OF Philadelphia,
secretary of the National Congress Of
Mothers, spoke along the sane line
from the parents standpoint. She
attacked the great indifference con-
cerning our schools which permestee
the Reneral public, and charged that
many parents imbued too largely with
the commercial spirit neglect alto
eether the personal attention which
they should give to their children 8
education, moral and intellectual.
During the recent political houee
cleaning in Philadelphia the thought
came up that the gang only 20 years
ago we're pupils in the public schools
and that perhaps both at home and at
school the proper training had not
been USED with those boys.
When this country becomes aroused
educationally parents and teachers
working together will lift the human
race a little higher as they pass
through. Mrs. GTice feels sure that
the time will come when every school
will have not only mothers meetings
but a parents auxiliary. She said;
"The teaching force and the home
force of the togn should be united.
The children have been likened to a
hecRe with different Rardners clipping
ano pruning on each side. In the old
days when the teacher bosrded rouno, ;
he knew much more of the individual
Guild than now. The indiiferenoa oil
people in general and the political
domination of ths schools has hurt
their power. There is undoubtedly a
movement all over the country to unite
parents and educators for the solution
of educational problems.
Mrs. Grics said she did not want to
make more work for the teachers be-
cause they are the most overworked
and underpaid people in public service.
The homes need an awakening, they
have thrown too much work on the
teachers.
III these two forces can be brought
together in the spirit Of intelligence
and good will they can face the condi-
tions and work for great organiza-
tion which will be for the very best
