Helping Hand Society

By Editor

ATTENTION is called to the article on Missionary Geography, in another column. We have several times spoken of the Helping Hand Society, as we have been pleased to term it. The only difficulty with the society is that there are not many helping hands in it. We feel that this article and the articles by Mrs. Mina Mann on Manual Training are good illustrations of what we are endeavoring to secure. There is scarcely a teacher in our schools who is alive to the work in which he is engaged, but has experiences, either in the financial problems of the school or in some subject which he is teaching or in some method of busy work, which are in the line of advance, and will be helpful to others. None of us should live to ourselves in this work, and if we have been learned of things which are a help to us, we should extend them to others. Those teachers who feel a diffidence with reference to writing for the paper should overcome this. It is not necessary that the name of the writer should be published. It is necessary, however, that we should have the name given to us. These articles need not be over one hundred and fifty to two hundred words in length, simply telling how help has been gained in some particular point. We must make rapid progress in arriving at correct methods of conducting all our schools, but unless every one helps to the fullest extent of his ability, we shall proceed but slowly.

These remarks apply to all grades of our schools. Send these articles to Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass.
