I bollove I am simply to toll you this afternoon of our Mothers' Club In Royn oldsvllle. But before speaking of our work here It tin seemed to me fitting to call your attention for a few moments to Mothers' Clubs In general and of the great benefit they may be In a com munity In assisting and making more effective the work of the public school. I am aware that to many of you here, tho work of tho Mothers' Club Is com paratively now. In this age of organi zations when societies and clubs aro being formed for almost every purpose under the sun, wo may wonder whether It Is ncoessnry to odd nnothor ono to swoll the already long list. But when ever we aro in doubt ns to the benefit or vnlua of a thing, It Is well to ask the question, what Is It's object and aim V Is It needed ? Educators and teachers have long felt tho great lack of Interest nnd sym pathy In their work by tho parents. There bos always seemed to bn a great lethargy on tho pnrt of parents In the workings of the public school, tho place whore for many months of the year their children are boing trained, laying tho foundations of their charact ers, In fact their wholo futuro lives. Manv parents send their children to school, and from the beginning until the close of the term, nover step Into the school room, get acquainted with the teacher or Interest themselves In any way with the school, unlets It may be to listen to every idle complaint tho children may bring home, and, of course coincide with the child, thus weakening the influence of the teacher. In fact they know llttlo, nnd appear to care less, about tho school work. This is all wrong. The porents and the teachor should work band in hand In tho education of the child To remedy this, organizations known as Mothers' Clubs have sprung up all over our land. And just here I can not do better than to quote to you from the constitution It's object : "The object of the Mothers' Club shall be to promote educational sentiment In the community, and to render more effective the work of tho public school, by extending such co-operation to the teachers as may be doomed advisable." With such an objoct, do we need to ask the question Is It needed ? Does It not supply a long felt want ? What Is more needed In tho cause of education than to bring the mother and the teach er in closer touch with each other, uni fying and simplyfying tho work. This being an organization In which both the mothers and teachers aro members, in the monthly meotlngs tho mother and teacher may meot, got ac qualntcd and talk over tho welfare of tho child, thus establishing a common bond of sympathy and Interest, which is too often sadly lacking. Subject) are discussed wbtoh are of vital 1m portance In the education and training of children. Often both mother and teacher look at a question in a ono Bid ed way. In these monthly meotlngs conclusions can be reached that would never have boon thought of. Tho mother sees the matter from tho teach ers point of vlow and vlco versa, which Is certainly a good thing and cannot fall to bring about a hotter condition of affairs in both the homo and the school Then, again, tho mothors visit the schools, get acquainted with the needs and tho attention of tho publio Is cull to existing all ut rs, and there will bo un effort made to secure tho needed ap' paratus as far as possible. Tho month ly programs aro also printed and pooplo of prominence in the town secured to take part, thus calling the attention of the publio tb tho fact that such an or ganlzatlon exiBts, and that somo one Is taking an interest in tho publio schools besides tho teachers and school direct ors. In fact there are numberless ways whereby a Mothers' Club may be bene' fielal, and result In great good to oommunlty. But I am to tell you of our club here. The Reynoldsvll'e Mothers' Club was organized Jan. 3, 1902, through the earnest efforts of our formor principal Prof. G. W. Lenkerd. In response to bis Invitation 29 ladles met in this hall and formed themselves into a club be' coming the charter morabers. It was decided to meet each month, securing as speakers the pastors of the churches, teachers, and others interested In edit cation. We have had discussed at these meetings such subjects as physl cal culture, muslo In the school, home study, borne entertainments, what books to read, ethics, morals and man ners, etc. There has always been chance given for open discussion, and both mothers and teachers bavo felt free to respond, giving their opinions and beliefs. Children from the sohools have given us reoitations, and musical talent from both the sohool and tow has been seoured, giving varied, in struotive and interesting programs. Sinoe its organization our Mothers' Club has been the means of securing the nucleus of a good library by bold Ing a book reception and library enter tainment, the proceeds being used for the purchase of an encyclopedia. We feel that more could have been accom plished, bad we had a larger attendance at our meetings. Our numbers have been few, but we think exceptionally active and faithful. We are planning for greater things the coming year. We wish to Interest a greater number of ladles and thus broaden and enlarge our work. It Is said of Michael Angelo that once in his class-room work mak Ing his criticisms and suggestions, he came to one that suggested some ex coiienco in the more technln of execu tion but was narrow and crowded In outline, bo wrote that ono word as bis criticism, "Amplius," wldor that Is vne woru mat is oemg written on our Mothers' Club hero. We should en large anu Droauen our worn. As we look Into tho future wo should form wider plans. Tho great army of moth ers are still non-Interested. To reach and hold them should be our aim during the coming term. In the education, development and training of the child, the mothers and teachers should be ono In sympathy and purpose, as they have but one aim. The child of to-day has his feet already set in the trail along which his fathers have walked Let us make him a more Intelligent citizen. Tho education in the publio schools should be as nearly as possible an all around education. Ihe child of to-day soon begins to make tho future himself. His home his town, bis state, his country, be come what he Is. His hands mold the futuro as the potter handles clay. His turn will soon be here at tho wheel to guide the ship of state. The child will be a man. On us mothors and teach ers, in a large measure, rests the re sponsiblltty of what his future shall be Mrs. Maude Booth.
