they need the hard lesson of facing
a distastefully duty honestly.
And more than all, they need
your help in the difficult business

The sums, the dates, the verbs

But to be able to concentrate, to

She was delighted with this dis
covery, and kept applying it to her
microscopic finances all day long.
Driving home she said suddenly:

want smaller parts than hun

WAYS have a little over?

For the point is, you mothers Of
Grammar School children, that
their work really is simple to the
point of absurdity. 1t HAS to be,
to meet all the varied mental types
in the grade. This page of "Reduc-
ton to Common Fractions" was one
weeks work, in the arithmetic; 1t
was one hours work to an intelli-
gent child. 1t was one of those
elementary things that all grown
ups take for granted.
Stripped of bewildering terms
and frightening formalitics, it was
something any 10-year-old who ever
got a dollar for his birthday could
easily understand.
But suppose he had been away
from school that week, and had
presently been faced with a review
or an examination?

The work done by child in the
grammar school grades in a whole
nine-months term, can really be
done by an intelligent child in six
weeks. 1t has been so done, repeat
edly, when for some reason a child
is coached for promotion.
Button the other hand let
child miss some fundamental and
simple rule in arithmetic or algebra,
and you will have that child CROP

the entire term!
In a class of fifty pupils between
the ages of nine and eleven, it is
obviously impossible that a teacher
shall study the individual cases, it
is indeed impossible for her to hold
more than a certain number Of
these children attentive and silent,
much less interested.
1t is the mothers job to keep an
eye on what they are doing, to give
at least an evening week to home
work.
She will need the deserted dining
room, pencils, a pen knife, scratch
paper. And her first evenings ex-
perience will be a revelation.

Mothers Murder By Their Indifference Says Rupert Hughe

At the thirty-third repetition the
child begins to pay attention and
absorb the idea.
How many times must srown.ups
be told!
No power on earth seems to break
through the stodgy indifference Of
countless mothers to the most es-
sential facts, the most important
discoveries concerning the bringing
in and bringing-up of the babies
that cost them so much anxiety and
agony.
Almost a deadlier enemy than
doltish indifference in some form Of
reverence for q creed or a super
stition. Some Of the religious
sects interpose every obstacle to the
scientific investigation of childhood
or to the practice in the home of
what has been learned from study
ligent study of causes and effects;
what has ben learned from a study
of the immemorial massacre Of neg
lected or mismanaged babies.
There are mothers innumerable
who are so proud of bringing an In.
FAINT into the world that they imag-
inc they also brought in all wisdom
along with the babies. To such a
mother, the kindliest suggestion Is
an insult; advice is declaration
of war. They carefully shelter
their babies from common sense;
protect them from protection, and
send them off to the graveyard in
sublime confidence that they did all
that a mother could do.

was to sneak and cheat till he grew
big enough to punish his tormentors.
And when he grew up he treated
his children as he was treated. 1t
