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.

Now, we know that it la the pnrentii or guardians who are de- ? llnquent and should be punished, while the child is protAted. guid- cd, trained and given an opportuni ty he has never had, through kind ly and Intelligent supervision In his own borne, or if that la not poa* *iHle, In the beat substitute for hl« home that can be devised in har mony with modern standards of child care. 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.

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.
