PARENTS, VISIT Your SCHooLs.-The
experience of teachers will bear ME out
in saying that there are thousands of
parents who do not enter the school
room from the years beginning to its
close, and thousands more who are
never present, except at some public
exercise of the school, and very few who
are in the habit of coming in weekly,
or even monthly, to observe the manner
in which their children are instructed.
and to listen to their usual daily exer-
cises. The cause assigned for this neg
lect is, ''want of time" And what is
the resultP Why, young as some pupils
are, and evil disposed as older ones
sometimes are, the affairs of the school
room are liable to be misrepresented to
the parents. This gives occasion for
fault-fnding, and it is deplorable fact,
that in almost every district, are those
who are ever ready to find fault with
the teacher, upon the mere report of
their children; and parents often blindly
advise their children to course of con-
duct which will render the teachers at
tempts for their improvement perfectly
null and void. Many parents do not
seem to be half as anxious for the well
fare of their children at school, as they
are for the growth of few groveling
swine, smooth haired colt, or fat
calf. They can see some prospective
profit to arise out of labor bestowed
upon their animals, but as for stepping
in, only for few moments, to notice
how their Children fare at school, ..they
haven't time They will work, per-
haps, an hour every morning, rubbing
down" colt, but cannot spend day
in a whole year to learn whether their
own offspring are becoming properly
fitted TO enter upon the arena of life,
and to do battle against tide of sins
and host of difficulties.
If parents would visit schools fire.
quently.we should have better teachers.
better schools, and the advantages of a
common school education would be
more generally diffused, and of higher
character than at present. Pupils would
become more deeply interested, and we
should have better order with less
governing. No one can have failed to
observe how the countenances of pupils
brighten, and what new interest is dis
seminated through the school room,
when one whom they believe to be in
terested in their improvement, comes
IN to listen to their recitations. The
same effect will be produced upon the
teacher. if he possesses the right spirit.
He feels that he is not slone-that his
hands are up held. The thick dark clouds
which had gathered about him, are
pierced by a ray OF hopes glad sun
shine, and he turns to his labors with a
lighter heau, and more willing hand.

A courteous suggestion that contests
of original matter be substituted for
those in defamation and recitation de-
serves word of explanation. II Grafton
contests are meant, it is not often ex-
pected that students of the age of those
in our High School, unless they have
had unusual opportunities, possess the
discipline of mind and general expert
ence desirable for such an exercise. 1t
seems, also, that the students of Lam
caster either have not yet had sufficient
practice, or have not enough self-confi-
dence, to undertake an essay contest. 1t
may not be amiss to say that the Prin-
cipal recently offered prize for this
purpose to the A and B grades of the
High School, with such response as not
tojustify competition, or even to greatly
encourage repetition of the offer The
self-distrust of these classes and MANY
other students Gin this direction) is
almost overwhelming. Elocution, COM
position, and oratory occupy quite diff
ferent fields still it is hoped that the
students of Lancaster may do creditable
work in all of them before distant day.
