“ Co-operation of teacher and pa-
rents’ was the first subject under dis-
cussion. The first speaker was Miss
Alif Btephens, teacher of the Centre
Hill school. Miss Stephens is a native
of Lewisburg, and is a graduate of
Bucknell University, She mounted
the platform and spoke without notes,
Miss Stephens : All education is ex-
tended and co-operative parenthood,
The teacher is a vice parent, acting in
behalf of the parent. Hence the teach
er is doing mother’s work.
This involves on the part of the pa-
rent,
{1) Confidence in the ability, mo
tives and judgment of the teacher,
(2) Frankness concerning the work,
character and faults of the child,
{ 3) Bupport of the teacher in the
home. Appreciation of the eflorts ;
support of the teacher in the crises of
school government,
(4) Sympathy with the teacher be-
cause of her many cares; becauss of
the importance of the work ; because
any other attitude robs the child,
plishing the best results because

By making one thoughtless or un-

presence of the child, the parent may

James H. Strohm : The strongest
force in the school is the teacher,
whose province it is to direct every
energy and activity of his pupils in

Next to teaching is the superintend-
ence of the schools, which is the force
determining their efficiency. This
supervision devolves almost entirely
upon the teacher, but may and should
be supplemented by the parents, or
patrons of the school, This may be
done ina multiplicity of ways, hold-
