BETTER SUNDAY SCHOOLS,
so MOTHERS DECLARE

Improvement of the Sunday schools
and worldwide awakening of mothers
to = the fact that love and tenderness
is not sufficient for the proper rearing
of children were declared Saturday
morning, at the third days session at
the First Methodist church of the Geor-
gia Mothers Congress to be among the
greatest needs of this age.
In a discussion which consumed a
large part of the session. the congress
insisted that Sunday school teachers
should be versed in psychology and
child-study.
1.-The Sunday school as 1t is today is
a menace" asserted Mrs. Frederic
Schoff, of Philadelphia, president of the
National Mothers Congress. Continuing.
she declared that many of the teachers
are frivolous, unframed girls; and that
few know anything of children and how
they should be taught.
1T is the mothers place" she de-
clared, ito demand more OF the Sunday
schools"
The congress as a whole indicated that
it is dissatisfied with the present condi-
ton of the Sunday schools and that it
believes trained Sunday school teachers
are absolutely necessary.
Mrs. Schoff and each of the other
speakers addressing the congress stress
ed the need of mothers studying their
children-fnding out what their bodies
and their minds need.
Love. said Mrs. Schoff, cannot
make a mohter a good mother. 1t can
make her well-intentioned and well
meaning, but IT cannot show her what
her child needs"
She declared that the prevention of
crime rests with mothers and, as an ex
ample, said-that if she could only retell
to every mother what prisoners nave
confided to her of how they started
wrong, every mother would realize the
responsibility resting on her
Instinct is good" said Mrs. James
r. Little president of the Georgia Moth
ers' congress, "but it cannot make the
best motner."
Miss Celeste Parrish, in speaking of
the spiritual training of children. said
that they do not need to be taught the
tenets of any one denomination, but
rather tina nthey should be made TO
realize the beauties of music and paint
ing.
Mrs. w. c. Spiker. in a discussion of
Expression" said that American women
have rightly been called Beautiful an
tlque tosos'-tight corsets and tight
collars have squeezed all expression out
Of them.
The session closed with an address
by DR.. d. II. Kress, of Washington, ID.
c., on the question of dietetics.
The Georgia Mothers congress will
close with a session Saturday afternoon
that will be devoted to children.
The session Saturday morning opened
with an address by Mrs. W. c. Spiker,
of Atlanta, on the subject of EXPIRES
