School Improvement. The true teacher of today, know ing that environments count so much for or against a child’s pro gress, will be wise and make the school-room as attractive as pos sible with bright pictures, sash curtains, a library, etc. Many who come to him for guidance and care may.be influenced thereby. So many of our children in public schools come from homes where there is so little that is uplifting and cultivating for the minds of the children that it is one of our great tasks as teachers to implant in our pupils a love of beauty in all true forms, and this includes naturt love. Inefficiency has found its way into the public service. It must be eliminated by the authorities in charge. This is by no means an easy or pleasant task, but it is a duty which must not be delayed or evaded. The inviolable prin ciple in all matters appertaining to school management is, “The child’s welfare is the highest law.” Poor teaching and poor manage ment of children cannot be toler- j 4. Handsome Car WHEN you pay several hun dred dollars for an automo bile, why not get a good looking one —one that you will be proud to ovm, proud to drive and proud to take your friends out in? Maxwell owners have a just pride in the handsome appearance of their automobile for Maxwell Motor Cars have “"the same attractive lines, the same graceful design as the higher priced types. In addition to good looks you want, of course, a reliable, sturdy and economical car. But there is no doubt in your mind on these points since the Maxwell a short time ago established the World’s Motor Non- Stop Mileage Record. Any car that can run continuously for 44 days and nights, averaging 500 miles per day — 22,000 miles in all and without once stopping the motor —is bound to be a well designed and well made car. Any car that can perform such a wonderful feat on an average of one gallon of gasoline to every 2 2 miles is bound to be an economical car. We have such confidence in the Maxwell car and the company be hind it that we are willing to sell these cars on partial payments — and deliver the car to you when you make the first deposit. In justice to yourself you ought to know more about the Maxwell car and our pay-as-you-ride plan. All we ask is the opportunity to tell you. Touring Car, $655. Road&ter, $635 Prices F. O. B. Detroit J L GARDNER, Locust Grove, Georgia DISTRIBUTORS FOR ated. The first remedy that sug gests itself is that a kindly at tempt should be made to improve the work of the inefficient teach er. Helpful supervision, the prin cipal’s advices, and the example of others, can do much for a wil ling teacher who lacks experience. The new spirit and the enthu siasm which an era of gen ral school improvement infuses, may help many a poor teacher who will help herself. At times an en tire change of conditions through a transfer to another school with the change in the personality of supervision that is incident there to will bring about an improve ment. Where sufficient improvement is not in evidence after a reason eble time, the child’s welfare must be placed above the teacher’s in terest. Inefficiency which can not be cured must not be endur ed. But the action which severs a teacher’s connection with the school should be considerate and conservative. It is true that a system of schools is injured and loses pub lic confidence bv the presence of inefficient teachers. But hasty and inconsiderate dismissals may Easily strike terror into the ranks of the whole corps, and impair the work of many. Very often the imaginary tear of losing her position affects unfavorably the sensitive teacher whose work is above reproach. Necessary as it is to eliminate inefficient teachers, should be done in such a conserv ative way that in every case the action of the board is justified by the record and is approved by the conscience of the profession. Teachers as a class are just as much opposed to the toleration of inefficientv as is the board of ed ucation. The teacher must be the inspiration and success to the school, with vim and energy born of enthusiasm, which makes all things seem possible. Her ef forts may stimulate the interest and pride of a community for the beautification and betterment of the school. Interest the child and naturally its enthusiasm will be imparted to the parents. They endeavor to carry out their child’s ideas as an imitator, copyist of ‘‘the teacher’s way” and results show much im provement often in home sur roundings. A well worded note or personal application for-assist ance, when you’ve planned what you want done, is seldom refused. The personality and popularity of the teacher brings the success you wish. A few pennies and nickels asked for a much needed globe, map. bookcase, etc., are us ually granted when boards don’t object, and you do not ask too often. I have sometimes request ed the loan of pictures for the classroom for a month, from some of the community who were lack ing in interest, and then invited the donor to visit our room to hear the children’s description and interpretation of artist’s meaning, and see their interest, and many times have won a friend and patron bv so doing. Education teaches a child to see, observe, and think, and real hap piness results when he can carry out his own schemes and ideas. School improvement can be at tained along many lines where in terest has been aroused. Home clubs should be formed to keep up zeal for the common interests of citizen and teacher that all may learn and love to do, and lend a helping hand where needed. We must have faith in the future of Henry eoanty schools. Co-opera tion of patrons and teacher can accomplish much. W. T. McMillan.
