DUTY OF PARENTS TO TEACHERS.
TO secure result. in carrying on
eForms and improvements in society
cooperation is essential to success.
The humblest can effect in concert,
What the highest could not singly.
in the education of youth, parents
nd guardians can greatly facilitate
the ardrous labots Of teachers. Good
government in schools is 'more the
result of careful training at home
|. han of any efforts of TIE teacher.
Children who behave vel a5 home
will generally deport themselves well
abroad. Children should be taught
it home respect for their teachers.
They sIiou q be instructed that it is
heir duty to be orderly, well-behav-
ID, and prompt to obey what they are
commanded to perform. I IF this be
understood, the task of the teacher
becomes materially lghtene'l. If
the pupil be taught tha tile rules of
the school must be imp!ic ,ly conf
plied'wlth, and if the parents insist
upon it that the child shall obey all
reasonable demands male upon him
bv the.teacher, then the pupil Wi ! be
properly traiaed, and vii be fitted
TO receive instruction. .Paren's are
to- apt to encourage their children
in tale-bearing and criticism on the
CONDUCT and ability Of their instruc-
tors. They are apt to take the views
of their children rather than their
own.

Mr.. Editor:
As q member Of the Point Pleasant Lit
erary Society, | deem it my duty to give
some explanation to the good people Of
this town, why the public debate aunoun-
ced 10 your paper Of last week, did not
come of. II was owing principally to the
fact tina: there was some misunderstood.
ing in securing room for the occasion, =
But I am fearful lest the failure has q
deeper significance than the mere inability
above mentioned. There arc several
halls that might have been obtained if the
proper steps had been taken, and little
more energy put forth on the part Of the
members, or rather those who adpromis-
cd to attend to the matter, aud who had
expected to expa,iate on "mcral insanity
would have secured to them an opportunl'
ty to display their illegal lore"
| have written the above, simply for the
reason that heretofore when there was o
failure" it has always been attributed to
my negligence, though uujustly so.
