Valuable Cop. He was cycling
through quaint old fashioned Eng
lish village, when he was thrilled by
the sound of a woman's cry for help,
followed by the muffled tones of a
mans voice. He quickened his pace,
TO find woman holding on to the
handle of cottage door, while from
within it was evident that somebody
was endeavoring to force it open.
Give me hand, mister" she cried.

The cyclist dismounted and, by add
ing his strength to that of the woman,
the door was kept closed

dormant throughout the summer
months are reorganized. With books
and clothes for the children to be pro-
vided, the merchant feels the quicken
inc. of business life The coming of
the teacher is the signal for many Of
the women;s clubs to begin to func-
ton again.
For these and many other reasons,
the city of Gastonia welcomes the
teachers. This welcome has been eX-
pressed to them from several organi
zations already, but it is not amiss to
tell them again that the city is glad
to have them in her midst again.
The faculty this year is one of the
strongest that has yet been secured
for the Gastonia schools. The school
board and administrative authorities
have promised the patrons of the city
schools one of the best years in the
history Of the system. To that end
they have gathered together fine lot
of teachers.
But, no matter how fine n teacher a
person may be, there is not going to
be a successful term for her and her
pupils unless there Is cooperation
from the home base. The hardest job
that any teacher has TO tackle is the
teaching and training of a child that
has been accustomed to following the
distates Of his own will, unchecked
and unrestrained. A spoiled child in
the home is a sorry enough spectacle
but in the school room in the presence
of others, and in view OF the example
set and the effect upon the teachers
influence, a display of temper, dis
obedience or stubborness is well-nigh
tragic.
If the child is not amenable to dis
cipline and obedience and instruction
in the home from the parent, what do
you think the teacher can do with him
along with IS or 30 others?
Have heart for those teachers.
Let it be understood that the teacher
is to be respected and obeyed. Let it
be understood that q thrashing IN
school means another one at home,
rather than row with the principal
or superintendent, as was the custom
when you were in school forty years
ago.-Gastonia Gazette.

Criticism of Mother.-Daddy came
home from the office early one even

some friends whom she had been visit

Little four year-old Gwennie ran up
to her fathers side.
Daddy" she cried, I've been want
ing to see you for a long time when
mothers not near"
"Why, my little girl?" asked father.
well, dad" answered Gwennie,
please don't tell mother, because
she's an awful dear, but don't think
she knows much about bringing up
children"
What makes you think that?" ask
ed her father.

me go to bed when ! am wide awake

The policeman, puzzled, looked

Hackerman whether he had taken a

ed a Turkish bath about quarter of

Like Father.-At a cottage in an iso-
lated part of the coast visitors were SO
rare that many of the children have
never seen any men folk except those
of their own household.
One day the children were playing
happily together, when a man was cs-
MED on the hillside, evidently making
for the cottage.
One of the children. who had been
gazing at the unwonted apparition,
remained staring pen-eyed from the
door of the cottage for a moment
longer. and then rushed indoors,
shouting in amaze:
"Oh, mother, here's a thing like
father, coming"
