PARENTS IN FAVOR
OF SCHOOL UNITY
Closer Relationship with the
Teachers Gains Strength.
IMPRESSION ON THE CHILD
School Officials Making Determined
Gator Closer Together in Guiding
Destiny of Next GeneratiOn-Home
Associations Successful.

Closer relationship between parents and
teachers is being made the main issue
under the present school regime.
1t is the belief of officials that one of
the most serious faults with the educa-
tional systems of to-day is that parents
do not know into whose hands they are
giving their children when they send
them to school in the morning. and
teachers do not know out of what kind
of homes their pupils come.
1t is pointed out by the educators that
at an age when he is most impression
able, a child is sent TO school and
turned over to a teacher, whose infiu-
ence he may reflect throughout his life
time Not a Congressman comes to
Washington, not justice to the Supreme
Court of the United States. not an official
of any kind to high office but what he has
his stories to tell of early school
teachers.
Impression on Child.
When the little child comes home from
school it will be noticed he talks mostly
OF what has passed at his school, and
that he often repeats things which his
teacher has said and which apparently
have made an impression on his mind.
Acting on this theory. the school Off
cials of Washington are making deter
mined efforts to draw the parent and
the teacher closer together. so they may
work in unison toward developing tn"
little ones who are to become the guId, r.
OF the destiny OF the next generation.
Already several homo and school a:zSo-
Citations have been formed with this oh
jrCt in view. and SO far they hav" met
with unqualified success. Tho Western
High School teachers have formed such
an organization. as wcTl as many of tho
teachers Of tho graded schools. with bcnc-

The scheme has been most successful in
the kindcrGartens. which the younger chill
dren attend.
The parents when belonging to the
Home and School associations come to
the ClaSsroOms moro frequently, and see
for themselves just how their children
are given instruction, and such SIICgeS-
tons rs they make are always welcomed
by the teachers. The scheme has been
extremely successful in the colored
schools Of the District.
