CURRENT THINKING
HOME AND SCHOOL,

elizabeth Childs in The OutlOok.)
Il assert emphatically that the
home and school association is the
most hopeful indication OF modern
educational progress. The most dis
couraging feature is the apathy and
Indifference of fathers and mothers.
When the nationwide movement to
organize parents and teachers. and
so to secure cooperation between
home and school, came to our city, /
felt my dreams. some of them at
least, were about to be realized; that
the organization would not only be
well supported but welcomed as a
long-felt want; that parents would
be the first to recognize its necessity
and would take the initiative in the
work. / was mistaken. II Is the
teacher, daily struggling with the ed
ucational problem, who realizes the
failure Of the home; II is the teacher
who Is taking the initiative in the at
tempt TO organize for the enlightmen-
ment OF the home. The home Is 80
utterly ignorant Of the whole subject
that II does not even know that II
ought to be enlightened. Parents are
so indifferent in the matter that they

one large downtown school in our
city only thirteen parents attended,

FATHER. CHARGED BY
DAUGHTER ON TRIAL
Criminal Attacks Upon Her, She
Says; Only Spanked Her,

alleged criminal attack upon Anna
Schell
According to the girls story her
father made two different attempts; at
one time she fought him off, she said,
and the next time he succeeded.
Schell. who most of the time quietly
cried as he sat beside his counsel, de-
MED the charge and said the only time
he had raised his hand against her
was when she had been impudent,
calling him liar and some other un-
printable names. on these occasions,
he frankly admitted, he had spanked
her in the old-fashioned way.
Other witnesses of the neighborhood
testified as to the honesty and integrity
Of Schell, while the veracity of his
daughter Anna was said to be of a
questionable character.
The case was concluded with the
noon adjournrenr and was given to
the jury this afternoon by President
Judge Kunkel.
