It liaa often struck mn that children
would gel on much bettor at school If
parent would only eultivate Ih friend-,
ship of the leur-hi r more, and win Iter
eonildenee, says a writer In Home Note.
I am qnl'e sure that If i.vithern would
let the teachers see that they take an
Interest both In tlp-in and the children,
too, It would stimulate Ihn teach r In
their efforts for the advancement of their
pupils. It gland to reason that If a
teacher knows lhat the parenls are co
operating with her Ihe effort which she
puts forth are mote likely lo result In
greater progn ss being made by the chil
dren. There Is no need whatever (o make a
great friend of Ihe I'ncher. but It would
certainly help matters a giod deal If, say,
Ihe teacher were askid to come and lake
tea at a definite time, or spend n cierlaln
evening with tho parents, and children
tnrettter. Much little mnttirs lira worth
t h Ink n Ix about, anil I feel ennvlucid Hint
mothers who try what 1 have suggested
will be please ) with the remi'ts.
