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. A MOTHER.
