AVONIANS INDIGNANTLY TO WO
MAN

The ignominious punishment melted
out to a twenty-year-old erring girl
by prominent women in an eastern
town, that of standing her on her
head and pouring tar over her naked
body, savors of the frenzied passion
which in men begets lynching.
The girl was accused of being a
menace to the community She was
"roping in" the married men as well
as the single ones. Well, the poor
married men must be protected evil
dently!-men probably old enough
to be the girls father, but still young
in the ways OF the world! 1t would
not do to risk their being led astray
by twenty year-old girl!
Of course, the girl should be pun
ished to save these young-old men"
And the single men--haye these
mothers shown as much anxiety
about their boys manners AS they
have about this girls? Have they
taught their sons to have care for
and a wholesome respect Tor all wo-
men and girls, to always feel that
they are the champions of woman

Jacoby of Elmira, N. Y, is introduce
ing them:
John Is doing good work in all his
studies, especially arithmetic. His
inclination to be inattentive needs to
be checked and his power of concen-
tration developed to enable him to
do his best WORK. His conduct is
commendable.
Mary is doing excellent work in all
her studies except drawing, She fails
in this study because she seems to
take no interest in It. would sug-
gest that you would have her draw
for you at home pictures Of things
In which she is Interested Her con-
duct Is very satisfactory.
James is doing very poor work.
He acts tired. Is he working TOO
many hours before and after school?
His behavior Is satisfactory. -.
Margaret Is doing very unsatis-
factory work. Her eyes trouble her.
She should have her eyes examined.
II she could see as we'll as other
children, believe she could do bet
ter work.
George Is very troublesome in
school. He minds everybody's bust
ness but his own and is continually
getting into trouble. AS result
his work Is very unsatisfactory.
Charles has days when he works
very hard At such times he does
good work. Then there are days
when he Is restless and annoying.
AT such times his work Is very poor.
AS ! am not able to determine the
reason for this unevenness OF appii-
cation personal interview is very
much desired. Come as soon as pos
sible.
Robert is not doing very we'll In
arithmetic. He does not know his
tables thoroughly. Some home drill
would help him very much. In his
other studies he is getting along well
William is trying very hard to keer
up with the class, but unless there is
much improvement before long he
will not be able to do this. His mind
has not developed sufficiently In pow

We thank thee, Lord. that all our JOY
Is touched with pain;
That shadows fall on brightest hours
That thorns remain;
That so earths bliss may be our guide
And not our chain.
For, thou who knowest, Lord, how
soon
Our weak heart clings,
Hast given us joys tender and true
Yet all with wings,
SO that we see, cleaning on high
Diviner things.

The best way to get better job
Is to do better at the job you have.
One of the most pertinent ques-
tions we have lately seen in the pa
pers is: II a man riding into Kan
sas from another state, becomes sub
iect to Kansas laws as soon as he
crosses the border, why shouldn't q
barrel or quart OF whiskey? We are
proud of the stand the Democrats are
taking on our prohibition laws. Three
cheers for Texas, too.
Reports in order to serve parents
and children In the most helpful way
should report the application, work
and conduct of pupils clearly through
thoughtful statements oil more or
less intimate nature. The reports
should give definite information. II
Is a very simple matter to write Oh
card satisfactory or unsatisfactory
but it gives very little information
OF any value to the parents. The
parent is pleased to learn that his
child Is satisfactory In school but the
most optimistic cannot help feeling
that there are probably some things
in which the child Is not entirely sat
isfactory. A good parent wants to
help his child and he cannot do this
In the best way unless he knows the
school life of the child from differ
emit view points. II the child Is IN
satisfactory in his work in school,
the parent has a right to know
wherein the child fails to maintain q
satisfactory standard. Deficiencies
should be clearly pointed out, for the
parent wants to know specifically thf
child's short comings SO that he can
cooperate with the teacher in help
ing the child TO overcome the trouble
A card should give the parent this
information, and 1t should give 1t II
way which the parent can very cas-
lily understand. The teacher SHOULD
try to get the best from each, what
ever that best may be and the repor'
card is a valuable aid in enlistlng th'
parent to cooperate with the teacher
in this work of helping the child d.
his best.
