Appreciates Teachers Work.

One woman says that when her
children bring home their school re-
ports at the end of the month she al
ways finds FIVE minutes in which to
write a personal letter to the teach
ers. If there is something that the
children have learned that surprised
her she writes a note of thanks and
appreciation. and If the reports are
unsatisfactory she writes offering to
help the teacher in any way she may
suggest. Needless to say, the teach
ers are appreciative, as any one wiz
know who has ever taught school

proffered his ferefnger.
