The Normal School means as
much to Athens' and to Clsrke
county ds any other institution or
enterprise. Educationally religious
ly and financially, it is one of the
county’s biggest assets.
Th« Normal School has furn
ished teachers to every school both
in Athens and in the rural schools
in fuct most of the teachers who
have made this their life’s work
were educated at tho Normal
School! Not only ia thp Normal
School a plant that furnishes tea-
chert* for the common schools of
the county but hns representations
in all of the higher institutions of
learning in our city. The Univer
sity of Georgia, tho State College
of Agriculture, Lucy Cobb, and
Athens High School each have Nor
mal graduates on their teaching
force- t
Following is a list of a few
Clarke County graduates now do
ing work in the county:
Misses Mary Berwick. Mary
Lyndon, Puttie Hillsman Lena
Bird, Cardclia Thornton, Sara
Bird, Saraa Webb, Bertha Hancock,
Ins Cooper, Emily Mason, Regina
Mason. Roberta Pittard, Jeaaie
Moore, Annie Mae Holliday. Ellie
Bradbcrry, Mattie Lou Bradberry.
Ida Pound, R. C. Towns, Rosa Mad
dux, and many others. Besides
the Clarke County girls, there are
touchers from all over the State of
Georgia, graduates of tho Normal
who arc now teaching in Clarke
County. At the Normal School
thirteen of its faculty are grad
uates of the school.
Wc cannot write of the Normal
School and not mention the Mus-
cogeo Elementary school and the
Rural school. Miss Kato Hicks is
president of the Muscogee Elemen
tary School or practice School and
is one of the most efficient persons
ever p aced at tho head of an in-
Institute of learning. Her Influence
School without having loved and
admired Miss Hicks, and gaining
through her wonderful i
something of infinite v»]
Practice School an average of two
hundred pupils are taught each
year at no expense whatever to the
city or the county. Each child pays
six dollars a year and out of thia
books and other equipment an
furnished- Here the Normal Sen
iors get their first teaching under
the supervision of critic teachers
The Rural School on the Normal
Campus is the only one of its kind
in the United States. Under the sup
erviafon of Miss Laura Elder who
manages in a most efficient man
ner this school .s doing a great
work. This yoar there are sixty-
five pupils enrolled. The seniors
teach in this school also. The ex-;
penses are shared by the Normal i
School and Clarke County, each
paying fifty per cent
The influence of the Normal
School is greatly felt In the church
es and Sunday School of our city.
The girls are trained for leadership
through tho Y. W. C. A. the W. C.
T. U. and mission study classes.
Each Sunday afternoon volunteers
conduct Bible classes in the country
churches near Athens. They do lots
of settlement work among mill sec
tions of the city. The teachers of
the Normal School many of them
deacons and stewards of the city
churches and teachers in to- Sun
day Schools ore rhristain witters
“bearers and custodians of His mes
sage to mankind.” This makes for
true citizenship for every good
thing is founded on religion and
depends for its stability upon the
strength of its religion.
Financially, the Normal School
means much to tho merchants of
Athens, Thousands of dollars are
spent etch month - by these girls
and other thousands are spent for
the maintenance of the school.
Large sums are paid the Athens
Railway and Electric Company for
both lights and street car fares. The
city also gets . a large sum for
water and numerous other items
could be mentioned.
Much more could bo said of the
js felt in every part of the State, Normal School, but we feel that
for no girl can leave the Normal every one know* of the -wonderful
influence of this school not only in
_ _ Clarke county but all over the
personality State for It ia carried far and near
due. At the by the girls, some of them teaching

Parents Responsible For Bad and

Dependent and delinquent pfilld*
ren formerly were treated aa if re*
nponnlble for their condition and
were tried in criminal courts, de
tained In Jail and punished as crim* I
lnnls. Now, we know that it la the
pnrentii or guardians who are de- ?
llnquent and should be punished,
while the child is protAted. guid-

Have you'a Juvenile Court In
your couilty? Are you acquainted!
with th# man who decides the
very difficult questions connected
with the welfare of the dependent
neglected, defective and delinquent
children In your county? Are the
hearings private, and all publicity
In the papers eliminated? Have
you a capable probation officer,
the kind of person you would want
to help youn child If ho were In
trouble? When children need to
be detained by the court are they
kept where you would want your
own to be? Ia your community co
operating with your Juvenile Court
to give the children who have not
had good home environment the
best possible opportunity to become
good men and women?
DUTY OF P. T. A.
By MRS. E. B. HODGSON
(Fourth Article)
Will it do much good for one
mother to be In sympathetic un
derstanding with the teacher of her
child? Yes. It will help that one
child. Iiut, I maintain that the
hool room is n sort of junior
state, whut ono child docs affects
unolher child and tho whole room
full of children. Tenchers will tell
you that, one chid may cause more
disorder than all the other children
In the room, for a while, until the
teacher can overcome bis faults of
habit.
When parents nnd teachers meel
ih conference we know that both
are vitally Interested In the wel
fare of the children, both want th<
children to make progress, and the*
should not be working alone and at
crow* purposes when tho child’s
future Is at stake. Let them com<
together, unite their splendid force*
and do team work for the child.
Again—
.School methods nrc among thf
many things that change all th<
tmo and parents need to keo)
themselves posted on educatonal
methods to better sustain the child
in his school work. A common fea
ture of P. T. A. programs should
be the Educational address, by ar
established authority, not a fanatic
so as to keep'the teacher and par
ent thnkng along the same. Ine*.
Such meetings should always pro
vide time tot the asking of ques
tons and for candd experence. In
this way we will not forget the
lofty Ideals nor the ultimate aim ol
all this endeavor,, in the midst of
the day-by-day, petty pussies that
arise constantly in child-training
-Again—
The parent-teacher idea has a
direct Psychological effect on the
the./child. It dears the air for
him! lie knows that ths* Home
and School ore not divided about
ti.'m any more. He feels Ute union
of these forces by his side, parent
qnd teacher, hand In hand, with!
him and all three travelling the
same way,, facing ths some dlreo-1
tton! Together, at last, on the
child's welfare!

ation Emphasis Placed!
on Constructive Plans.
In moudlns a better citizenship I
for tbe next feneration one need
ed emphasis la n more construct
ive and effective program for moral
education. This needs the co-op-1
oration of both parent* and teach
ers. We may well sax why tho pub
lic schools should bear the Mam*
fur Immoral condltRms existing
or supposed to exist outside the
schools, however, it Is important
that we combine In remedying ex
isting conditions.
cannot th* P. T. A. help educate
tho public to tho end that this de
sirable instruction become n per

Oregon Social Hygiene Society has
done splendid work along this
line in the schools.
