[For the Houma Ceyei
Our Public Schools.

Mr.. Editor: Seeing an article in a
former number Of the Ceres, on public
schools, has induced me also to make .
few remarks on the subject.
It was stated in it, that teachers were
not sufficiently paid, as one reason why the
schools did not work better. l think the
remark a correct one, so far as it applies.
1t is thing that calls loudly for reform for
there is no class of men so poorly paid as
the teachers of district-school. But the
whole difficulty does not lie there. One OF
the greatest hindrances to the success Of
public schools among us, is the extensive
laxity on the part ofparents in making their
children attend regularly. The majority
Of them that send, are the poor, who often
want their children at home to work, and
send them only when idle I; this seeming
to make their education merely a seconda-
ry, rather than primary object and, con-
sequently, they make little or no progress.
The few who constantly attend, necessa-
rily surpass them. This becomes known
to the parents. They blame, not them
selves, but the teachers. They accuse
him of idleness and neglect of duty, and
finally withdraw their children. And it is
fact, that the indigent-the very class
for whom these schools were designed
seem the best benefited by them. Now
unless some means can be devised to in
duce parents to send their children more
regularly, l do not see how tho schools car
flourish. They may change the laws, OF
pass new ones this may pay high salaries
to teachers yet all will avail nothing I'm
less the schools be properly attended.
