THE COOPERATION OF TEACHERS AND
PARENTS.
Much has been said of the importance
of the cooperation of teachers and pa
rents. What this cooperation means
seems not to be SO generally known,
if We are to judge by the teachers daily
practices, and by the obstacles which
some parents in most districts put into
the teachers way. Cooperation implies
such harmonizlng Of the teachings Of
home and school, that the precepts and
examples given at the one will Tighten
and promote the effort of the Others
The absence of this good state of things
has its reasons.
Many teachers neglect to acquaint
themselves thoroughly with their pupils;
they often neglect the children under
their care they treat them in such a
way as is not far from tyranny they do
not take the trouble to consult the pa
rents concerning the wants of their chill
dren by their rewards and punishments
they often give the parent reason to
suspect partiality when new methods
of procedure are introduced into schools
they do not take the trouble to explain
their expediency to tho parents many
times they are untruthful in their oral
or written reports, in trying to make
people believe that their school is MAX
ing rapid progress. These and other
things causes distrust and irritation in
the minds of parents and it is not to be
wondered that many think the teacher
is working for his money only
On the ether hand the parent is often
not faultless. He thinks his notions of
teaching are the correct ones and if the
teacher does not carry these out, the
school is denounced as inefficient
He considers his boy the most talent
ed and best behaved in school; and if
the teacher does not apprehend this, he
is, in the mind of the loving parent,
either stupid or partial. He takes no
active interest in the school; he never
visits it he never converses with his
children about their school duties when
he speaks Of the school at all, it is gen
orally in terms of disparagement; when
his children show him their school re-
ports, he scarcely chances at them, and
his poor urchins reap neither praise nor
blame from their parents lips.
Such is often the cooperative activity
of parents and teachers. Most of them
mean well; but few, however, do their
duty in the noble work for which we
should all live.

AT the review the other day the steam
er burst four lengths of hose under a
very slight pressure, which, had it oc-
CURED during q confagration, might
have resulted in the destruction of thou
sands of dollars worth Of property. The
fact was clearly demonstrated that the
bursting of the hose was brought about
through insufficient drying after use, and
such will continue to be the case so long
as no opportunity is given the frcmen
to remedy the evil. A new engine house
on the north side has been q necessity
for years, and the city would actually
save money by building one.

The Chronicle learns that 'sRube
Smart and Eugene Sherman passed
themselves off for young and unmarried
sons of Manitowoc clergyman" at the
county fair dance. Manitowoc was well
represented at that dance, and if s.Rube
and Eugene" did forget their old age
for short time, the effect was entirely
counterbalanced by the dignifed bearing
and artistic manner in which John Bib

pigeon wings. -Keeoau,aeo Enterprise.
