learning. After deliberating over the
matter Prof. Gaertner has decided to
accept the position tendered him.

In the May number of Georgia Ed
ucation there is (an article from Mr.
J. C. Woodward on the subject,
“Bridging the Gulf Between the

timely suggestions. The sooner pa
rents realize the fact that they must
co-operate with the teacher in all the
work of mental development of the
child, the better. It requires the com
bined efforts of teacher and parent
to make education what it should bo.
Such ideas as are promulgated in the
article of Mr. Woodward are ealeu
lated to do much good.

his A. M. from the Ohio Wesleyan
University, and was for several years
professor of mathematics in the Wil
mingtou (Ohio) College. Prof. Gaert
ner has kindly consented to take
charge of, the department of mathe
matics, lift Georgia Education, and our
readers may look forward to some-
tiling genuinely helpful, practical and
interesting in this department on the
first of each month, at which time
this department will appear.—[Geor

the care taken In storing
