Therefore the parents and especially
the mothers have reason for taking
an intelligent interest in the schools
as no others can. Who then can more
appropriately decide who shall manage
the schools than the mothers parti-
cularly. To do this you must get in
touch with the school and you must
register and you must vote for the
members of the Board of Education.
This is plain duty as mothers, to
do what can to provide that good men

The People s F Drum

= Who can explain the lack of interest
of both fathers and mothers in the
work of and condition existing in our
public schools? But few mothers and
rarely father visits the room where
their children spend large part of
each day for five days every week.
If child does not make the grade,
too often the teacher is blamed. 1t
is not always the teachers fault Too
often it is from some physical trouble
that is hampering the childs progress.
If such a condition exists it is the
plain duty of the parents to see that
the cause is removed and the child
given a fair chance from a health
| standpoint. > "
The number of pupils crowded into
the rooms in a number of grades is
disgrace to the city. No teacher
can do justice to any pupil or accom-.
plish the results she wishes when
there a third more pupils in the room
than really should be.
Every mothers is, or should be, in.
terested in the welfare of her choldren
as no one else can possibly be. Be
cause of this interest it is your duty
to know more about the public schools
of the city. We turn our children
over to the care of the teacher with
but little thought of how largely the
welfare of the child depends upon
the character of the school and the
sympathetic understanding of the
teacher
With but little cooperation from the
parents and say 45 pupils in room.
how much individual attention can
your child or mine receive? There is
but little chance for individuality tc
be developed. Do you think the ven
tilation is good. Just visit crowded
room or a rainy day when each chile

and it is the duty of the community
to see that no family becomes so das-
titute. But box left by neighbor
with the spirit of friendship and the
personal touch is a different matter
Mr. Stinson also talked on the value
Of training given in childho I'd. Con-
trary to the old theory the child of the
tenement house and the Child of the
palace entel the world with an equal
chance. Neither are born with a hand
leap because of their surroundings
The child in better circumstances de-
velops more rapidly and becomes
healthier because of the treatment af-
ter birth. There is wonderful hope in
the new theory in that it gives every
generation a new chance. Rev. Stin-
son is all earnest speaker and not
afraid to express his convictions with
frankness.

Mothers club appointed a committee
yesterday to approach the fair officers

securing a suitable place. If the show

Plans are under way to secure a
boys and girls gymnasium and it is
very likely that one will be in opera

Mothers club is being assisted in their
Kelly of the commercial club. At their
meeting yesterday afternoon Rev. Mr..
-Stinson spoke very strongly of the
need of such a place. He said it was
a shame that the men had such fuXur-
ious apartments and the boys no place
to congregate. The men did not need
it and the boys did. If the boys place
is in the home then the fathers
is there also. Rev. Mr.. Stinson
was very warmly applauded. not only
by the women, but by the men who
came by invitation to hear his talk
