UNDERSTANDINGS, real or fancied
wrongs, will have a number of Sc
rious questions to ask their parents
few years hence when they face a
work-a-day world unequipped for
their duties.
1t should be the business of every
father and mother in every school
neighborhood to see to it that the
school attendance is 100 per cent
for the school term. 1t must be borne
in mind that one absent pupil re-
tards the progress of the entire
school. If parent is Jealous for
the advancement of his child, he can
secure that end by seeing to it that
his neighbours children are also in
their places. Nothing so handicaps
the progress OF the school as irregu-
lar attendance.
Organize Your Community to Work
for Better School.
There is no force that will do
more to make the country school
what 1t should be than an organized
body of school patrons who know
what constitutes an efficient school
and who are pledged to see that their
school fulfills the conditions There
are three organizations of women
throughout the South that have done
efficient work for our schools. The
Woman's Association for the Better
ment of Public Schools, The School
Improvement League and the Wom-
ans Farmers Institute If one OF
these organizations could exist in
every school neighborhood, with the
united support OF every school pat
ron. there is no limit to the posi-
bilities of the country school. These
patrons would see to II that educa-
ton prepares for life and for a spe-
cific line OF life. They would see to
II that education be both broad and
practical; that the school environ
ment be sanitary as well as beauti-
full. Then we shall have school in
the country that will appeal to the
imagination OF the country boys and
girls and will arouse their enthusi-
asm for greater intellectual attain
meats.

her study of poetry and art history
have heightened her love Of bird

Moreover the college-bred girl has
nearly always learned the great pos

household drudgery," for the
science of domestic economy is fast
spreading over our country, the true
message and spirit of home-making,
of housekeeping. Such young
woman is no longer dependent on
gossip and frivolous chit-chat to
while the lonely hours away. Life
holds deeper meaning for her. BY
constant companionship with cul-
tured and broad-minded people who
have enjoyed many advantages OF
study and travel. the old sharp corn
ers of narrowness are rubbed off,
and in their place the roundness of
genuine common sense and intelli-
gence appear. The days are no long
err tiresome because there is not a
constant round of amusements and
social gatherings, which in many
cities are fast increasing the number
of young people who are incapable
of enjoying quiet hour Of thought
and solitude. Should the country
girl not more deeply appreciate the
deep stiffness of summer nights, the
beauty of rain and moonlight and
the freshness of ''the waking hour of
dawn" because Wordsworth, Steven
son and other writer's have expressed
in beautiful words her own hidden
ideas? Should she not listen more
eagerly to the thrilling of the South's
own sweet singer, the mocking-bird
because she can compare his notes
with the voice of some great musi-
clan whom she has heard at school?
And yet how many girls in the coun-
try are not keenly alive to the JOY
full notes which the commonplace
duties sing to them, simply because
they have not been trained under
an experienced musician in life's
mysteries.

TN MANY A country home in the
South where money is none too
Il plentiful and help necessary, the
question Of college education for
the daughter of the house is quite
problem. Though there are many
homes where the entire family is
making great sacrifices to this end,
there are many more asleep to the
possibilities of broadened and
strengthened character which college
training helps to develop. They do
not realize that just as improved ma
chinery lightens the toll of every
day labor for the farmers, college
work teaches his daughter to meet
their daily tasks about the house
with common sense and wide-awake
intelligence.
Many hesitate to send their girls
to school because they know nothing
OF the curriculum offered. WELL"
they say, II guess learning the piano
and how to speak French is not going
to help Molly and Jane to make bet
ter biscuits. They can learn such
things as that here at home, and
languages and science will soon be
forgotten" And yet a postal card
or a two-cent stamp would obtain
all the catalogs and information that
they will need to discover that, after
all, books are not the greatest fac
tors in school training, but that the
many lectures, concerts and social
features offered lay a firm basis for
further training in the world itself.
The farmer often argues that his
daughter has no special talents, and
that her sphere of activity lies at
home-what then does a college edu-
cation mean for the country girl who
simply intends remaining at home?
knowledge Gives Added Possibilities
of Enjoyment.
In her own life 1t means wealth
of resource before undreamed of, a
formation of valuable friendships
and wholesome acquaintances; for
college days, Of all times, present
broad opportunities for meeting con-
genial people in large numbers. A
college education also means to the
farm girl an added appreciation for
the beauties around her own home
and surely in our own Southland
there should not be single young
woman whose heart does not beat
more rapidly at glimpse Of the long
leaf pine or the native maple, sturdy
and home-like; who does not meet
