both mind and body. These associa-
tions and opportunities the home
should furnish. In this way the home
training will help the school, for 1t Ia
demonstrated fact that boys given
to the use of tobacco and unrestIain-
ed as to their self-oontrol fall far be-
hind in their scholarship.
We parents realize how In one fami

arise from this fact and we marvel at
the success of our schools governing
as they do and can only account for 1t
that by intuition the child feels the
/ sympathy and cooperation which
most parents give the teacher. II
taught properly the child enters upon
the new scenes and work of the school
room with confidence and pleasure,
believing implicitly in the new author
ly which is placed upon him. And
happy the child who goes forth after
six years of good home training to
be taken in charge of by conscien-
,ious, vel; qualified teacher. Much
Of the success of life depends upon
this initial period. And does not the
teacher who has by earnest, patient
endeavor paved the way along the
students pathway, denying himself
the moro frivolous pleasures stand
ing firm to purpose, meeting all
difficulties aud oonquering, deserve
our utmo't cooperation?
Then | think more intimate ac-
lquaintance, a more social condition,
would he advantageous to our
schools. Many times the knowing OF
peculiar circumstances OF home life
would aid much in the discipline.
Mothers meetings In connection
with the school are good in solving
many common problems
To no army of workers does the
parent owe more respect and alleg.
fence than to the teachers of our pub
lie schols.
And so the home can aid the school
by sympathy and cooperation, by
surrounding the home with right as
sociations and opportunities, train
ing and governing the will and the
motive power, for this is the main
spring of character, by teaching d
sense of responsibility, for these are
the cardinal factors of cha acter. The
child trained in this way is strong Tor
