Sunday Schools as Now Conduct

Too Many Frivolous and UNFRAMED
Girls as Teachers Know Little Of
Children and How They
Should Be Taught.

Atlanta, Ga.-'The Sunday school
as II is conducted today is a national
menace" declared Mrs. Frederick
schafr Of Philadelphia, in addressing
the Georgia mothers congress today.
Furthermore, she asserted too many
Of the teachers are frivolous girls who
know little Of children and how they

Mrs, sohan. who is president OF the
national mothers congress, urged a
worldwide awakening OF mothers 20

not sufficient for the proper rearing Of

give her the ability to train her chill
dren as they should be trained. The
thing we need IS TO arouse the moth
ers and induce them to study their
children, to know them, and not to
bring them up simply by chance.
IF we can only arouse the mothers
to see that they can prevent crime,
that in their hands lies the future Of
the world, we will accomplish the
greatest thing attainable. Mothers
must be taught that as they SOW, so
shall their children reap.
"The mother can inculcate in her
children lessons that never will be
eradicatetd. She can make them good
or she can make them bad. Many
mothers leave the spiritual training
of their children to the Sunday school
and the church. But what can the
Sunday school or church accomplish
with only a few hours training a
week, If this training is not continued
at home?

"A child is not always getting splr-

roundings there. Some preachers
benefit children, others do not. You

men knew that the publicity attending
the destruction of the coyotes would
prove injurious to their interests, and
the work was conducted silently but
effectively.
Since that danger is ayerted, they
are more outspoken for rigid meas

that If a screech owl comes crying
around the house it's a sure sign Of

that sort Of nonsense, but all the same,
the coachman's mother died after the
OWLS first appearance.
The owl came back, and one Of the
employees died. 1t came back again
and I decided that after all, didn't
want to spend Christmas in the coun-

New York.

London.-"Home duties are one Of

in lecture at the College Of Precep-

She complained that boys were not
made to do their fair share of house
hold work, but allowed to spend their
time in their own way. There was
always something for girl to do in
the house and her time for study was
seriously curtailed, but it was under

should have everything done for him.

This was bad for the boy as we'll as
unfair to his sister.
Even when the children were older
and working for the same examina-

girl always had more outside duties
than the boy. A boy of seventeen or
eighteen was expected to be helpless
and to be, unable to do anything for
himself, but there would have to be
a revolution in the household before
anything could be done for the girl.
