Some Needs of Public Schools.

ReA At
ers meeting in Lee County, and
is published by request of the
teachers; and consent of the
writer, Mrs. jamie Robinson, of
Bethany Line School:
This subject is one that all
teachers and patrons should be
interested in, for it is one that
concerns us all. The real object
of all our schools is to, train the
child. 1.-THE child" the great
issue before us, for the child of
today will be the citizen of to-
morrow. The needs of our pub
lie schools are many, but for our
first need, we say better build
ings and equipments. Can you
picture a sight more pathetic
than some of our rural school
buildings at present? We find
a lonesome, u%nattractive building
standing out to one side of the
road, poorly lighted, whereby a
great damage is being done to
the eye-sight of the children. and
not very comfortable on cold
days.
The Fairgrounds are not usu-
ally thought to be of very much
Importance but our experience
has been that there is no place
a child can take exercise better
than on the playground. We
want strong manhood and wo-
manhood along with trained
minds.
Second, better teachers, or
teachers who realize the great
responsibility that rest upon
them, not only in leading the
children into new fields of
thought but teaching morals as
we'll, for a learned man without
morals is a menace to any COM
munity. In an address made
before a School Association in
Chicago, one of the speakers
said: I'VE are emanclpated in
spots, have gone to extremes on
some things and utterly neglect
ed others. We have invented
photography and the scientific
methods and are about ready to
fly. But when it comes to the
making of men and women, we
are using the same old machine
ry and the same old recipes that
have been used for ages. In
our enthusiasm to accomplish so
much in material and scientific
things we have overlooked our
selves. The greatest defect of
our educational process is the
lack of moral element"
Another writer says; Teach
German. geography, or algebra,
or any other subject to a class
for a year. Then go to work and
teach morals and humanity for
the same length of time, with
the same skill, and compare re-
suits. A human may be full of
these subjects and be a "barba-
rian''. A being without moral
character is worse off educated
than if he was ignorant. Let
that intellect sleep or civilize it."
Third. A more hearty cooper
alton of parents and teachers.
So often the teacher will LABOR
and labor and the work is not
appreciated, and again the par
ents may try 70 help the child
and the teacher fails to appre
ciate.
One great way to bring about
a change would be in the ogani-
.zation of Mothers Clubs, and in
this way mothers and teachers
can study the child's interest to-
gether, and accomplish 50 much
more. Another way is to have
educational rallies occasionally
and bring fathers and mothers |
together to discuss the school
