Madame President: While I esteem it a great honor to have been invited to address you this evening upon a subject that is one of my special hobbies, still I must confess that just at present I would much prefer being a teacher rather than represent the composite parent who is required to express an opinion. To my mind the , necessary co-operation between parents and teachers begins with a reasonable accord between the parents; the school of life with experience for f a hard teacher being the first school , in which the poor little mite of hu? manity is entered. Here are learned I the first great lessons of obedience to . law and order, and happy indeed is the . child who from infancy has been , trained and nurtured with wise and 5 loving care, by both father and mother, with due regard for his future life. _ Our children are usually sent to school. either private or public, at the age of 3 six or seven, and from this time on for 3 fourteen or fifteen years,at least onethird of their waking hours are spent under the direct control of the various teachers as they pass from grade to grade, 011 to college life. Sometimes - it seems to mc thai you. in your ca5 pacity as teachers, fail to realize the tremendous influence you can have upon the children committed to your care; and again I know that earnest, j hard-working teachers, doing all in their power for the proper develop ment of their charges, fail because the necessary co-operation has not been ( given at home. We parents are re. sponsible for our children, and if we j fail to control them ourselves, or teach them self-control, why should we . rebel if when they consistently break the laws of the schools they reap flue ' punishment? Yet this is the attitude of many parents towards the school authorities; and the child is encourag. ed in habits of rebellion against aut thority, in constant complaints against r the teachers, and in the long run, the parents wonder why the particular ; school to which their child goes should 1 always have such poor teachers. They . utterly fail to realize that the trouble lies at home.?and there, too, lies the - remedy. If we would only teach our - children from the beginning to have a ; due reverence for law, whether it be . f.v ?**? jj,,, home or the . laws that govern the communal n.. . the school, would we not also find in 1 after years a proper regard for the ! laws of the land? Laws are drawn for e the greatest good of the greatest num- I t ber, and while it may sometimes seenvi to work an injustice can we not trust.1 the men and women to whom we have I intrusted the teaching of our children to do justly by them. If we would conscientiously uphold the hands of the teacher; if when the troubles arise ? that do seem so large in the eyes of f the children, we would go ourselves '? and find out where the trouble lies and " Ho Oltr tnwarH c ctroinrKtpntniy matters out,?and I must confess it! ^ means straightening out a small child, " or a big one, at home very often,?we would be surprised to find how much, easier things are for ourselves, the r teachers and the pupils. There are two old-fashioned (so considered) r- rules for school children that if ens' forced by parents these days would k mean a wonderful improvement in the e moral tone of our schools. The first d one is: If you are punished at school for bad behavior, it will mean another punishment at home. I he second: | You should never criticise or complain! of your teacher, for many a time it is | , the inattentive, unprepared pupil who is at fault, for a good scholar makes a ^ good teacher. l8 Now, my friends, co-operation ! means working together, so all the ,y j work cannot he done by the parents h ! alone. On the part of the teacher.? and truly a good teacher is born, not l(j tnade. and her price is above rubies,? r_ is the need not only of unlimited tact ls and loving kindness, but of patience e that will outrival Job's. Not only has ,e he or she the forty-five or fifty differ,u ent natures represented by the bov< r,. and girls under their care to content! iwith, but also twice that many parents __And yet how often we sec sensitive nervous children, wif^i brains on th< alert, and to whom ai cross word 01 a snubbing seems more than they cat to bear, who subsjdcs under such trr;** n_! ment to the brt|tom of the clay>// get a reputation for dulfc//JfV\ j INTERNATIONAL MILITARY DISPLAY. Fourteen Countries Have Accepted President Roosevelt's Invitation? Some Notable Organizations to Take Formal Part in Celebration. Norfolk, Va.. Jan. 9.?From the*26th of April to the 30th of November, 1907, the grounds of the Jamestown TerCeW'^Siial Exposition, which is to be held ori T.Qres of Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, ^itft?e the scene of the grandest international military dilplay that the world has ever witnessed. The encampment will consist of companies of the various military organizations from every section of the country, government troops and regiments from all of the representative nations of the world. This vast army encamped at the exposition, in long lines of white tetits, stretching as far as the eye can reach, with sentinels marching their posts, and officers in gaily-colored uniforms dashing by on horseback, will make an impression on the visitor not soon to be forgotten. Officials of the exposition, realizing the space needed for the drilling and manoeuvring of such an army, have set aside thirty acres of land in a central location of the grounds to be known as "Lee's Parade." Here will b^vthe daily drills and maneouvres, also ih<Pv contest and exhibition drills. ee's Parade" will the largest and K/;st equipped field of its kind in the coifntry.

One oi the best teachers of my acquaintance makes a point of knowing each y^ar the mothers of her grade. If there is a falling off in scholarship the mother knows it almost as soon as she does, and they take counsel together. She has the individual love and affection and respect of all those pupils who have passed under her care. Boys and girls have passed into her room with uncanny reputations for mischief, and she turns them out at the end of the session with unblemished reputations. She does not wait for the mothers to come to her Yac.On, uu. v . w.th the parents. Children are naturally hero worshipers, and the teachef who begins by winm..b .u< of her class and by her own urisUrien? Ing sense of justice and honor appeals to the best that is in their natures, has done much towards giving her pupils a (aighcr ideal of life. Individually, both pides can do much, but for the best Mentally, morally and physically and for' what the old word schooling stands for, we, the parents on the one hand and the teacher on the other, must work together. Co-operation is the keynote of the hour. And shall we who are responsible fail in trying to do our share? We have in our town a mother's association, an organization without dues and few officers, through whose agency we are trying to solve this problem. While as yet we are still in the experimental stage, still we have gone far enough to war rant a feeling of expectation of gooc results. Meetings are held once a *1. u * IIIOIMI1, rill II ICrtLJK i III llllll (IV ir* n: chairman, papers are called for fron the mothers or teachers, problems re hating to the children are discussed oucstii ns asked and answered, and a together we find that we do derivi j benefit from our experience meeting I Many a woman's heart is lightened b finding that other women have had th same experience with their childrei coimng in conflict with school laws that what has seemed dire injustic as applied to her child becomes a fai and orderly development of the laws r supply and demand,?for children t demand punishment at times and th necessary.
