Mr. Editor:—Will you kindly give my
article space in your paper, in behalf of
our school, the Georgia Military Col
lege.
At the suggestion of their Pater, I
made a very pleasant visit to 1st and
2nd grades of the G. M. C. one day this
week, while the classes were in session
and found a great deal to bo learned.
Do not be surprised, I do not refer to
the A. R. C’8. and tables, but the meth
ods employed by the two good teachers
in the construction of their little models.
The sculptor, inventor and manufac
turer all take infinite pains with their
models, that the finished article may be
free from defect and as near perfection
as possible.
Does it occur to us that in these
grades our little ones are each day be
ing the models of the future men and
women of our conntry? Among them
to be law-makers professional men and
tradesmen for the bovB and for the girls
sometimes simular occupations, but
very often, more important and most
lofty is the position of motherhood which
becomes their lot, and to them moBt
esDeciallv is entrusted the care of the
next generation. ^
Now to prepare for this great object
which is the chief object in life after
nil, does it ever occur to us that the
school teacher comes in for a gre&t deal
of the labor in making tho little ones
neat, orderly, moral, honest and trust
worthy in every respect.
Great indeed is thoir share with so
many different dispositions tocopo with;
no two alike and each requiring a differ
ent method to instruct and control.
Not only do these good ladies culti
vate the little brains, but instill into
them, order, neatness, appreciation for
tho beautiful and love of nature by
surrounding them with pretty pictures
on the walls and singing birds swung in
their sunny window, gardens filled with
bright blooming flowers, their comforts
are also considered by a warm cheerful
fire, fresh air and ounny rooms; their
pleasure anticipated by recesses spent
in games dear to the heart of every
child, meantime these teachers parade
the play grounds to guard their charges
from accident or harm.
As they great ly realize the responsi
bility we impose on them when we send
tho little ones to schools, fresh from
the rest, where so often every wish
and whim has been gratified.
I am serry to say that my visit seem
ed to completely demoralize some of
the pupils in one section, which plainly
showed that visits from parents were
quite a novelty and also an occas ion for
taking advantage of the good nature of
“the mother protem” (the teacher).
Distressing to me was her look of
embarrasment but also sweet was her
soft voice of gentle rebuke for the guil
ty ones, with the sparkling eyes full of
mischief and victory.
The teachers assured me that the vis
its and co-operation of the parents are
heartily wanted and invited me to make
them another call at an early date.
My visit was made very pleasant and
entertaining. 1 consider my foreneon
well spent in making these sorely tried
gaardians of our little ones a call, and
hope some of the mothers especially
will soon cull on the teachers and thus
seeaBl did the ahsolute necessity of
lending a helping hand. I do not know
whether this Bketch will meet with en
tire approbation of the teachers but
hope so.
1 did not intend to air my views in a
newspaper, but was so deeply impieas
ed with the magnitude of their wprk I
feel as though I must speak, for them,
through the press, as I know of no bet
ter way of reaching all.
The teachers are bo often censured
for the slow progress of their children
nt school when a little interest from
home side would work wonders for all
concerned.
So let us visit the teachers and co
operate with them in this great institu
tion of learning, realizing that we are
stockholders. By eo doing, we can as
sist them in the successful development
of the future men and women. 1 hope
I have not made a mistake in writing
my view, tho motive is good.
If I am on the wrong side will not
some of the mothers tell mo so through
these columns.
