EDITOR OF EVENING STAR:-While school
matters in this District are attracting a good
deal OF attention, both in Congress and out of
it, there is one thing to which desire to call
particular notice, and that is the principle
which prevails OF turning children out of school
for tTifling faults.
A case has just now come to my knowledge of
a boy who has been sent home on account of
some inattcntion to his lessOn-playing with a
suing. The mother of the boy has seen the
teacher repeatedly, and offered her cooperation
in governing the child, requesting him, If there
should be any necessity to do so, to punish the
boy and let his parents know of the offence; to
send him home for punishment. But, instead of
granting this request, the teacher sends the
child home without any notice to the parents of
his having given offence; and this is the second
time that precisely the same thing has occurred,
requiring the parents repeatedly To 90 through
the absurd fOrmallty of getting permit for
him to go TO school
The child is more than ordinarily we'll
behaved and well governed boy, has been care
fully trained by a christian mother, and is
entirely free from the vices of swearing, using
tobacco, lying, speaking impudentlv, &c. The
only fault charged against him, as far as the
parent can learn, is that Of inattentiOn in his
class.
In most cases, perhaps, when parents are not
strongly impressed with the necessity of educa-
ton Tor their children. they will succumb to
such difficulties, and cease these repeated appIi
cations for permits to school their children and
thus liliterates are thrown upon the community
10 the vital injury OF all. But in this instance
the parents, tie father is a worthy and industri-
Gus mechanic, desire their child TO DE educated
The mother has, altogether, spent about three
weeks in obtaining permits for her three children
to attend school.
The practice OF turning children ont Of school
Is wr0rg in principle, as well a. pernicious and
altoccthl dGIlurablc III its results, both toward
the child ard the community.
