Stale Council Plan Abandoned. Made Ifotmtabi, N. C. Meet Tour ChiM’s T^her Friends of mine in Parent-Teacher work will smile when they see me rid- ina my old hobby again. For it‘is hobby—one that we have practiced in our own home since our first young- oter started out with a satchel.hnd srariling ihoming face, and that we still adhere to. It has brougl^t us the biggest dividends ima^nable. I cannot see how lany teacher can hope to do even a reaJionably accept able job with a child whose parents she knows nothing about, except what she can judge from the actions of the child during school hours. Nor can I see how any parents can ho^ to co operate with the child’s teacher, and principal, if they have never even seen these worthies, much less met _ them and talked wdth them and be come really acquainted with them. And if this acquaintance occurs only when the parents are summoned to school to try to get their child out of some difficulty that might never have ansenl^d this coopeVation beenfoiln^ , coming earlier, not much can be ex pected of it. Some of our most delightful friend ships have arisen from this family cus tom of having each teacher in our home and at bur table early in the year. -The children love it; the teach ers do not seem to suffer because of H; and I know we get educational re sults lhat would be impossible to at tain otherwise. Go down to school today and in vite the teacher home to dinner. What, your child has five teachers ? All right, so What? Aren’t there more than .five dinners in your school term ? past few months he seems to he get ting more naughty than ever. Almost every morning he wakes at six-thirty and gi“is into a fit of crying that lasts a good half-hour, i I am so ashanibd of an^yihjg the neighbors 'that I close all the windows, and sometim^-shut him up in his roOrn; but fib^^reams until I am almost distracted. Hi.s tan irums cause family quarrels; for his faJier has .s|^oil€|d him, and takes his .side. I am almost beside myself wdth jhis continqal disobedience, and,the ; w ay he manages to disgrace us.

Why not realize that the opinions rintt even if they did, a crying child is far less offensive than a night-blooming radio. Then, muting all the stops that you have been employing, talk with your husband quietly/ restrainedly, and in a genuine attitude of trying to find out what will help the baby that is, after'all, your main joint concern. The best way to get Dad to come halfway, is to go about two-thirds of the way yourself. Maybe he’ll surprise you' if you do. I prophesy that your trouble with the baby will disappear; or else look so insignificant that, you’ll wonder you ever let it bother you. Washington, Feb. 19.—XSovemor Oiin D.
