When the writer was working with the local committe, prepar-. ing the program for the Third Annual Convention of the Ioulsi. ana School Improvement League, held in Lafayette January 17-18, 1911, we were very anxious to prepare an attractive program and select such subjects for dis cussion that would greatly bene It the-men and women, who at tend the convention, and awtken in them a better understanding of this great orgnsued efort, tthe improvement of the conditions of child life in the home, in the school room and on the play ground. One pim of the program com. mittee was to have unrowed pro. grams, the very best speakers. and miusic, and carefully eilectedal topics, but not s muany of them tbsth tiere could be notime given for nueastions ad discussions. The addresses of Welcome had a rlngoftruth and. warmth of love for childhood that prompted them, sad were responded toin a kind by an enthuslatict Lesuge worker, who keenly appreciated the genuineneass manifaested. The report of delegates showed a decided increase in the number of Leagues formed during the year and a great imrovement in the plan of conducting the same. Noleo than twety thousand dol. ars, sofar known, has been ex. gpended for good eauses in this work. kEcellent suggestions were given U to wayrs and means of fnmbcing the Lmuaes, Some were extremely novel ad inter. eating. The igtet orginisation is for. t.matejnbaving as its leadereverl daos is formatson. Miss Agnes Morris, who L devoted to the' ause o l Bduction.

The school authorities need the assistance of the parents in the home to co-operate with them in bringing the child to the high est development of its physical, intelleotoal and spiritual nature. No larger field of work 'or sphere of hopefulness has ever been thrown open to parents and teachers than that of looking out for the boys and girls of the fu. ture.
