cRANNIs MOTHER DISCUSSES
 SCHOOL PROBLEMS

>{Continued From Page Four.) children must be ready on the minute, or be left. How many families are run that nearly by the clock? In some cases the conveyance does not pass the house. but the children must meet it. We have some weather, every winter, in which would not want child of mine to have to wait many minutes by a roadside, and the child will naturally want to hurry off early to make sure he is not left. Think of that parents-and remember that flu and pneumonia are still in the world. My own children have gone from Wickes to the Womack school, noth- ing like so far as to the far side of the Womack district, and they would come home in the evening utterly worn out. How can a mother with young children and maybe baby, manage to utterly dispense with the help from the children, that they can give her if the school is near; but which they simply cannot, without injury to them, if their strength IS all used up by the school? What moral right have the male voters to lay that extra and unnecessary bur den on the mothers? Just to gratify the vanity of few teachers and ad- vance the business of few real estate men, without giving the mothers an equal chance with the men, to decide the matter. | cannot see wherein the patrons of the Womack school would benefit themselves by abandoning their nice school for their small chil- dren, and assuming part of the in- debtedness on the brick school house at Wiekes. They were not guilty of voting for it.
 am not personally acquainted with the conditions of the Lone Valley and Pleasant Hill districts; but have no doubt that consolidation would be fine thing for Hatfield real estate business. How it would effect the mothers and children of Lone Valley and Pleasant Hill, is different mat ter altogether, and equally important. True, there is shortage of teachers, at present as we'll as of other labor, but that condition is not likely to be permanent.
 The writer seems inclined to sniff at our young folks teaching in our schools What do we mothers care what sort of certificate the teacher holds, or whether she has one at all so our children are kindly treated, well taught, advanced as rapidly as they can ualify, and the teachers in- fluenee is for good. And my exper- fence has been that we are more likely to secure those qualities in our local teachers, than in the imported ones who consider themselves far more efficient.
 Let us cherish our one-room school house for our smaller children. Ad- nit all patrons to a vote in all school matters, and make women equally eligible with men for all school of fees. When local conditions seem to make consolidation advisable let us give it fair trial before taking final action remembering it is much easier to scramble eggs, than to unscramble. And never lay such burden on the mothers of a district without recog- nizing their right to full say in the f final action.
