life, that each helps or hinder the
other.
All schools are not perfect, and all
homes are Improved if some of the
school rule for discipline and faith
fulness are copied In them. Often the
"dear little bother" I hurried off to
school to give the busy mother more

youngster i one of the army of "big

nervous, too constrained too seem like

one thing;, education Is another. And
If the mother in the home Is the real
motherly sort, the Important facts of
life and living are taught right in the
home.
Children that are persistently
"snubbed" at home for six years, and
then sent to school, usually fall to
make progress. "Poor tsachere", de
clare the parents, never thinking they
are the ones who took the edge off
their child" natural curiosity.
Observation Is as great a teacher as
experience for one sees many things
one may never experience. So teach
your children to keep eyes and ears
open to everything about them, in the
house, on the street and in school.
Their senses are their teachers, and
the elements of education are found in
seeing, hearing, talking and thinking
aUrat the simplest things In this beau
tiful world. If they ask a bookful of
questions a day, try to answer them
or show them how to find the answers
for themselves. Then when they leave
home for school, they, will have pegs
upon which to hang the facts given
them.
It Is the place "of ths parents to
see that the children are kept In good
physical condition. All parents are
not able to judge a child's condition
of health, and so visiting nurses make
periodical examination of the little
ones; and the school doctor remedies

Sensible mothera encourage all such
achool work, knowing that the chil
dren' teath, livers, and backs, should
be made perfect a well as their
minds. Some mothers there be, though,
who think of school as a place of de
tention for the children until her
work Is done.
Mothers' clubs are for such; they
teach mothers how to let the school
improve the home life.

Federal Judge Wolverton Monday
set January 16 as tho date of the trial
of Henry Albers, after United States
Attorney Haney told the court thia

en English and that he feared this fact
would tend to go against him. The
court said if such was the case the
trial might be set over on January 16
to a later date.
