I : i linois - Winthrop ^irls to teach and ?etnson boys lo build up the country In agriculture, We re gret i nat one of our representatives does nwt believe in the beautiful work .Lone in the kindergarten. Wo have this rmtcli to say; That ne does i ol Know the work of the kindergar ten. The Bible plainly says, "Tram ip n child m the way it should go, and u hen he 's old hu will not de al t therefrom," and if the children are taught well in infancy tney will ci vane? wv ll later. We all must have objects to teach us. If a child is tnutfht to spell the word "raf and fl a picture of a rat ls before him, he will know what lt ls and how to spell lt. We say give us kin derga rtens, We hone the teacher? will look after the school rooms more. See that they are awept, dusted and all ne rm s killed. At recess open wide the windows and let the fresh air In. Make each child run out in the sunshine. "Sunshine" is good for them, While a school visitor we saw a child drink and then throw back into the hucket the remainder of water lefl In the dipper. How nasty and dangerous! We have pledged to fight the white plague and want i he teachers to help us. Do you know that bed-bugs carry diseases? There is no excuse for them, and no up-to-date housekeeper has them When you rise open your windows, air each piece of linen; then If you have killed the bugs and destroyed the egg3, and keep up this practice both winter and summer, you will never be eaten up, and no germs will be yours. The Behool is the place to teach things that Pt one for life, and a teacher cannot teach what he does not know. So we must get only those who have "studied" to learn how to teach. We are glad that the Sundav School Convention was a success. There is no difference hetwen a mod ern m Iel Sunday school and a model public school. Miss Stribllng will write for this column later. She writes that her school room ls brightened up with Howers. We still hope for the co-opera tion of the teacher? in maklnp ?hts column a success. Write for au. Our county is often criticised for not having a teachers' association and a woman's club for school Improve ment. Why not? Are our teachers io selfish or are they careless as to progressiveness? No teacher can stand still-progress and study are the life of the teacher. How many teachers observed Lee's birthday? This ls the best way to teach love of country. A child never forgets these days. When I was small i went to school to Miss Beard, of Vermont, who was a pupil of Phillp Brooks. Often she would tell us of the great man. Then I did not love or care for him; yet I never forgo' his name, and learned in after years to love him just because Miss Heard had toid me of him. youan, the great march king, has writen a beautiful, helpful story of his life, and tells the boys never to get blue or give up. for success will come to those who try. We are delighted to know that some of the young ladles are trying for the Mell prize. The prize ls very valuable. The friends of the editor of this column will be glad to know that she is making a success of the Sun shine work in South Carolina. She ls now State leader, and will be glad to have the namos of all the "shut Ins" lu Oconee. "Pass On" Reading Depot. Miss Mary R.
