PARENTS SHOULD VISIT
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

Meridian teachers have asked the
parents to visit the schools. Few men
ever take an hour for this purpose.
Women do so little more. but not
very much. Some of those who crit
icise the schools never go into the
school house door.
II one is to erect house he holds
daily consultations with the carpen-
ter and mason, but il he is going to
build the furniture of child's mind
he passes the buck" to the teacher
and then stands off and finds fault.
The work of developing the mental
talent of the young is big JOB and
one in which the school and home
should unite. Careless parents can
pull down faster than conscientious
teacher can build. A school in which
the teacher feels himself backed up
by the personal interest of the par
ent stands a greatly increased chance
of being a good school. II the teach
er Is regarded as q hired servant,
working merely for the money, 1t is
hard for him to keep his enthusiasm
! but If parents visit the school and
will discuss the problems with the
! teachers, the latter will feel that they
have the cooperation and support OF
/ those at home.
Another thing has been suggested
to the Times. Teachers who come
to a new town feel lonely among
strangers and this feeling lasts dur
ing the greater part OF the first term.
They should be taken into the homes
of the people, socially, and made to
feel that they are vital factor in the
towns life. II we get next" to the
teacher he can explain away many
things about your boy or your girl
in which you think you and yours
are not receiving a fair deal.

Miss Mason, recognizing the mans

Miss Mason perceived a woman friend

Screen" comes to the Richmond
days. AS the gallant old Kentucky
Colonel in the perturbation of Opie
Reads well-known novel, "The Ken
lucky Colonel" released by Hodkin-
son, Joseph Bowling Is said to even
surpass the marvellous characterize
tion Of the spiritualistic miracle man.
The story tells of the beautiful and
imperishable friendship between two
old Kentucky gentlemen, one a Gen
eral and the other a Colonel-titles
which they have borne from Civil war
days. In spite of the supreme test
which comes when the General is led
to believe that the Colonel has for
many years been deceiving him in re-
gard to his relations with his, the
Generals, wife, the clear white flame
of their love for each other continues
to burn brightly. In the wood where
they meet to fight duel, neither fires
at the other. Instead they fire straight
up into the air. for neither could find
the courage or the desire to kill the
other.
This is only one of the many dram
attic moments in this absorbing story
laid in the beautiful purple hills of the
Blue Grass" country, where chivalry
and courtesy go hand in hand with
romance and adventure

LEIGH LITHOCRAPHS
ARE NOW ON EXHIBIT

That no exhibit like it. or to COM
pare with it, has ever been seen here,
is the opinion of those who have seen
the long delayed Leigh, exhibit of litho-
graphs which opened at the Public
Art gallery Wednesday afternoon.
The opening day is made more in
teresting by the presence OF Mr..
Leigh. In strength, vigor and vitality,
the Autographs by Howard Leigh may
be compared to those of the English
man, Brangwyn, who is recognized as
one of the worlds greatest etchers.
The wonderful gradation Of tones
OF light and shade has been handled
as carefully as though done by a
painter. With the skillful hand Of a
genius he has produced through the
medium of black and white the wide
range of color effects rarely found ex-
cept in paintings.
The drawings are not only interest
ing because of the beauty Of the archi-
lecture which they depict, but also
for the views of war damage and dev-
astation. The picture of "The Ruined
Doors" of the Rheims cathedral is a
masterpiece in the tragic desolateness
and ruin it shows. The lights in the
picture are one of it's most remarkable
features.
The drawing of the front facade of
the Rouen cathedral is an example of
Mr.. Leigh's exquisite drawing of in
finite detail. His pictures immortal
.ize the tragedy of war-ruined France.
The entire collection has been pur-
chased by the French government,
and Autographs may be purchased
here. They are priced from $40 to
$50. The pictures have been hung in
the north and east galleries. Because
of their size and uum ber it was i'm
possible to place them in one gallery.
The gallery is open until p. m. We'd
nesday evening, and opens from 1870
to 1000 Wednesday evening. Mr..
Leigh will be in the gallery Wednes-
day afternoon and evening.
