Cooperation of Parents and Teachers.

The progress made by pupils in their
studies, depends almost entirely upon
the support Of the teacher by his pat
rons Could all parents fully realize
this, it would seem that they would at
all times spare no pains in their efforts
to secure perfect confidence in teach
ers, on the part Of their scholars, by
an earnest, hearty assent to their
method Of instruction.
Teachers feel a lack Of the sympathy
of parents, perhaps more than 10 ear
Tier days; parents non seem to feel
that if their children are properly
clothed, and are provided with suita-
bic books, then allowed to attend
school regularly, their whole duty is
performed. Far from this. 1t is The
duty of all parents to visit their child
rem in school, and to advise with their
teachers with regard to their behavior
and improvement in school; and no
parent who fails to perform this duty,
can reasonably expect his children to
make rapid progress in their stud
les.
1t is, also, the duty OF teachers to
visit their patrons, and ascertain as
far as practicable, their modes OF
governing their children at home !;
they should feel that their pupils in
terests are common with their own
and with the parents interests, if they
would best succeed in the performance
Of their duties. We hope parents will
exhibit more interes. in the welfare
Of their children by laboring more
unitedly with teachers.

"The subjugstion of States to negro
domination would be worse than the
military despotism under which they

The ideas. terms and style Of the

The secret of the TRADE against
negroes is easily discoverable in the
fact that they almost invariably. so
far as experience demonstrates, vote
against treason and rebels and for the
Onion and loyal men. In Tennessee
the negroes hold the balance Of pow
er and they have shown themselves
true to the flag in every instance.
Such terrible dominatic.n as this could
not be expected TO be paIatsblc to

or out Of il.
