Elsewhere we publish the flal re-
port of Mr. Zerly, late teacher of our
Grammar School. He took tho pains
all through the term to make out week
ly reports which we published, giving
our citizens chance to examine the
status of the school at all times with
out going To the trouble of visiting 1t,
which but few seem incliued TO do.
These reports are rather dry reading
but we think parents should feel e.
nough interest in the welfare of their
children TO examine them.
Upon the whole it must be admitted
that our schools are not what they
should be, or might be. We have Il
competent and efficient board of dire6-
tors, and feel satisfied that cur teach
ers faithfully tried 10 do their best, bCt
the labors of directors and teachers
combined will effect but little unless
properly supported by parents general
ly-aud here is where the rub comes in.
Parental authority and home training
are entirely TOO lax in many instances.
Any evening OF the week our boys land
girls toO) are permitted TO be out, often
making night hideous with their shouts
and yelis, or lnafing in shops and stores
just MS late as it suits their conven-
lence. But few families, there ~ rea-
son to fear, require their children
TO be at home III good time and pursue
their studies under their own supervi-
sion, encouragement and assistance.
The quiet, gentle influences Of The
home circle are but little understood
and practiced even less. The teacher
of the public school is expected to do
all, Ii there is any expectation or con-
cern about the matter ut all. He will
fail to great extent, no matter what
are his qualifications. The work is too
blythe burden too heavy. Unless We
properly second the efforts of our teach
ers by system of effective home train

minds to see our children grow up in

That's about the size of it.
