All of which is a solemn warning
to women to keep men in their sacred
sphere. Keep them ignorant of the do
mestic arts. So shall they be depend
ent upon us and marry us and eat what
is set before them without making re
marks u|ion it.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
HOROTHY DIX.
j SCHOOL CHILD
By EMILIE HOFFMAN
“I wrote the lady a stinging note. 1
just put her in her place. She mustn't
think she can do with my child as she
pleases." exclaimed an irate mother
who was greatly perturbed because her
child lmd been obliged to submit to the
rules of the school. *
The "lady” referred to happens to'
be the teacher. The whole affair was
a trivial matter but the mother ob
jected to the teacher's authority over
the chikl. This attitude seems foolish
to most mothers, but It is surprising
how many such foolish mothers there
are.
The remark was made in the pres
ence of the child, and may prove an
encouragement for a general disregard
of the teacher's commands, which
means that this unthinking mother is
placing a grent handicap on the school
progress of her child. Just because
your child attends a school is no reason
why you should run the school. Criti
cising the teacher because she or he is
enforcing the rules of the school will
not help your child.
