Atlanta Cordial
To Popular
Couple

/ Polly Peachtree in the Atlanta Geor,
gian has the following to say of Mr.
+. A. Wilson-Lawrenson who, with his
charming bride who was A-rs. Lucille
CASTOR Jordan of Birmingham, is re
siding in Atlanta:
''The sudden illness and emergency
operation of f. A. Wilson-Lawrenson
brought to a standstill the round Of so
cia1 affairs which had been planned
in compliment to the Lawrensons'
house guests.
Since coming so recently to Atlanta
to reside, the Lawrensons have made
such a host of friends and intrenched
themselves so very certainly in the real
affections of their new co-residents that
any untOward happening in their house
hold, any marring of their plans for
their guests, would cause wide distress.
How much more, then, when the acute
situation of Mfr. LawrensOn's illness
added, by its shock, a grave concern.
That he is resting more quietly and ID
considered now out of danger is a mat
ter of interest to hundreds of Atlantans
who have become the fast friends of
these popular new additions to our So
cial life.
For whatever of festivity in compli-
ment to them was terminated by his ILL.,
ness, we who enjoyed meeting the at
tractive guests gladly VII give the
proverbial rain check, so indispOsed are
we to let them remember either Atlanta
or the Lawrenson household in distress.
Another time, then, good friends.

Keeping Ia ouch
With Children
At School

THE mother who is keeping in touch
L with the school progress of her
children knows their limitations. She
nows the studies in which they are
weak, and is giving the Helping hand
wisely wherever needed, but all
mothers do not do that.
Surely every mother knows that If
the monthly reports of her child show
continuous standing below the usually
required IS per cent in any study,
the pupil should have assistance in that
study. The wise mother realizes that
this need is especially urgent now in
the closing term of the year and she
will make every effort to give all pos
sible assistance during these remaining
months of the school year. She Will
know too that this must be done in
an interesting manner and not forced
upon the child.
If the deficiency is in mathematics,
for instance, you can accomplish much
if you sit down beside the child while
he or she does the home work, and by
explanation clear away the fog. A little
wise assistance along that line will help
materially.
If the trouble is in English, look over
their work before they copy it and ex-
plain where and why corrections are
necessary. Read the books they are re-
quired to study in English, talk over
with them the characters, the plot and
the situations in the stories to make
them thoroughly familiar with every de-
tail. History can be handled in the
same way.
In languages frequent reviews of the
vocabularies are great help. Rapid
fire questions such as eight and seven
are how much? Ten minus six, three
times nine and so on will indeliby fasten
these mathematical essentials in the
mind. States, countries. cities, indus
tries and so on can in like manner be
made unforgettable to the child, and
spelling can be made perfect.
If lessons are to be learned, it will
relieve the child if mother is satisfied
with the recitation after the little stu
dent has committed the lesson to MEM
DRY.
This help need mean no great sacri-
flee to the mother. Much of it can be
given while she is attending other du-
ties, and even if in extreme cases it
does take much time to see her boy
or girl pass all the examinations in
June will be sufficient recompense to
the worthwhile mother.
