"Home and Mother"
(Hy Mks. Disiiman.)
In tlio l'urent-Teu'hers' Associ
ation meeting we parents have
been much Interested find have
talked much of the tilings the
teachers should do and tench to fix
correct habits of thought and action
In the characters of our children.
Hut have we thought bh much ait
we should about how parents
should help teachers in accomplish
ing these things.
To adapt an old saying to our
needs, ''Do teachers ever so able
there is no place like home to
train a child in the fundamental
principles of character, and the
mother is the fountainhead of the
home." Dr. Cuyler says, "Great
men often have weak children,
great women seldom have." So as
mothers we should realize the truth
held by the great church of Home
when she tenches, "Give mo your
children until they are twelve years
of age and they are mine, do what
they will, go where they may after
ward." And this holds true in
00 out of 100 cam's. In these first
twelve years the school has nothing
to do with the first six, and during
this time habits of obedience, neat
ness, self-control, trust and observa
tion aro either well started or the
contrary vices are allowed full
swing. Perhaps some may think
vice a strong word for disobedience,
slovenliness, lack of self control,
distrust and inattention, but follow
any or all of these to their logical
end and wo if the term Is not
correct. "
Many a child, petted, pampered
and self-willed has been brought
into school with the expressed or
unexpressed desire on the part of
an impatient parent, "Well now
that he Is big enough to go to
school I hope the teacher will make
him behave, I can't." If these par
ents cannot control their own child
to six, the one whom they ought to
understand better than a stranger
can, with what marvelous power,
superior ability and supernatural
tact do they endow the teacher who
is to do what is impossible for them
with from twenty to sixty children
, from homo influences as varied as
the families represented. Ity what
sligh-of-hand magic does a teacher's
certificate change men and women
from our brothers and sisters and
friends into these superior beings
and also what happens when these
teachers marry or leave the profes
sion that they again become such as
you and I.
Let us realize that this association
is for mutual help, for the help of
our children, but that the first and
biggest burden and that the main
elements of success or failure be
long to and rest upon the mothers.
If a child Is unfortunate enough to
have a poor teacher it is a tempo
rary affair, that although time is
lost, the effects may bo corrected,
but if a child has a poor mother,
can any amount of good teaching in
the Bchools make up for the lack.
In fact in some instances the mire
good teaching it has the more the
child feels that it has been robbed
of its birthright of understanding
love, care and training.
What have teachers a right to
expect of children coming from
homes where there is enough to cat
and wear and with parents of aver
age intelligence.
1st. That the child should be
clean and neat
2nd. That the habit of obedience
should have, been well started.
3d. That trust in older people
should be natural.
4th. That the children should
be truthful.
5th. That such children will be
spontaneous, lively, full of energy
and often mischief. Let us deal
with those singly.
1st. Is it not absurd to call a
child at 8 or 8:15, let it dress itself,
eat a hasty breakfast and send it to
school with a "hurry or Vou will be
late" and then expect the teacher
to see that Its neck and ears are
clean, its clothes properly fastened
and all its belongings kept In a neat
and orderly fashion. It Is true that
a teacher often accomplishes much
in this direction but have we aright
to demand It of her that she over
come our neglect.
2nd. Parents should rule In
love, but they should rule. The
child's Individuality should be
recognized and respected and often
our position should bo explained be
fore a request Is made, If the re
quest Is difficult or contrary to the
child's known inclination. But the
request having been made It should
be obeyed unless the child has some
real reason for declining and In
such case tho parent should recog
nize justice. I uso the word re
quest because a command made
courteously is as forceful In obtain
ing desired results as the brusque
command in arousing antagonism
and resentment.
3rd. If your child trust you be
cause you have always been honest
with It, It will trust the teacher as;
long as she is honest with it.
4th. You may fool a child a few
or many times but the time will
come when you fool him no longer.
A young man once said, "My father
made a liar of me. Once fearing
one of his terrible thrashings, I lied
and was caught in tho lie. He
gave mo the beating saving, my
boy, if you had not lied I would not
have punished you. The next time
I told him the truth and was
thrashed just the same. So after
ward I always lied. If I could get
away with it I saved my back, if
not I only got what was coming to
me for telling tho truth." it
might be stated this way, "My
father made a liar of me because he
was a liar himself," and I believe
the converse holds true. A truth
ful parent makes a truthful child.
5th. The spontaniety, activity,
mischief or play spirit is childhood's
heritage. We should recognize it,
direct it and show our real appreci
ation of it by encouraging any
j legitimate expression of it.
j And now when we Bend children
; with such training to school we
jhave a right to expect that
I teachers along with the three
j will build on the foundation
the
It's
we
i have laid and by systematic neat
ness, honest instruction, apprecia
tive direction and a belief that the
growing child is nearly perpetual
motion, both physical and mental,
train and maintain the sturdy char
acters started at home.
Mothers have long accepted the
saying, "Who rocks the cradle rules
the world." Hut there has been
some mighty poor rocking if we
judge by some of the ruling, poor,
common-place and often vicious.
And now-a-days it sometimes seems
as though it were left to the nurse,
governess and public school teacher
to do all of the cradle rocking,
training, loving and appreciating
the need of the child.
As mothers let us so fully believe
in our high calling that we will
study to show ourselves approved
unto God and men by studying our
children and their needs that our
love may be the intelligent direct
ing force to build up and strengthen
their lives. Then the world will be
blessed by their deeds which will be
worthy of the efforts, prayers and
sacrifices of such mothers.

E. N. Hall has treated his house to
a coat of paint, which Is an Improve
ment. Prom notices being circulated by
Itoad SuHTvlsor Wllcoxeo, It seems
that the county Is going to enforce
the weed law this season. Mr. Wll
coxen siiys that In nearly every case
the residents are auiiuu to comply
with this law and he thinks there
will be no trouble In suppressing the
weeds to a considerable extent this
first year The Central Oregon Irre
gatlon Co. have slgulfled their will
ingness to keep their ditch banks
five from weeds, and Win. Wilson, a
large land owner In this section, has
employed a man to destroy weeds on
his land. There Is a general feeling,
however that the county should
take care of the weeds In county
roads und not place the added re
sponsibility on the farmer whose
land the roads adjoin, since he re
ceives no use of the land whatever
more than the road privilege the
same as other persons.
