Few Criticisms.
G. B CoLEHAN,

Having been an observer Of the Ed
ucationaI Department Of the HERALD
for some time, and having noticed
some ideas advanced that did not alto
esther coincide with my own, I have
concluded to make known my appro-
baton or disapproval of the same
through this medium. Hoping to un-
Justly criticise no article that has APP
peared herein, 1 offer them for your
due consideration, and if acceptable,
shall continue them from time to time,
as OCCASION may require.
Chief among the articles which
have come under my observation was
one that appeared a short time ago.
It started out with time from some pc
riod prior 81 human existence and
came down with = soar through the
many different ages Of mankind, and
/ finally wound up with a doleful cry
| about the use and abuse of slang phras-
es. This article which occupied near
| " column in this department, could
have been as well told in eight or ten
/ lines, as it was by spreading IL over
nearly whole column. The writer
no doubt thought that this myth and
/ obscurity added to what he wanted to
/ say, would have an additional charm
| to the composition, but instead had a
Iessening effect to the article. Con =
dense as much as possible and say
what you want to in as few words az
possible, and make it ineligible.
I became very much interested in a
paper prepared By =. NJ. Cole to be
read at the Kirwin Association, which
was commenced in the Educational
/ Department of December goth, entitled
Moral Responsibility CT Teachers. -
| The first part Of this article was good,
and waited patiently for it's compile
ton in the HERALD of December 18th.
was disappointed IN the article, how
ever, as it wound up with along-drawn
/ plea in vindicatiun of himself. He
also hopes that. you will never see linn
in any other place except ''in the front
ranks" Another point he makes is
that the teacher should 50 live as to
/ be above suspicion. 1 believe a teacher
is human, and should be a man among
others, and not try to get above the
atmosphere that surrounds this mum
dane orb, and then look down on
his fellow-men as mere pignies when
/ compared 20 himself Let him stand
up for what is right, and work for the
advancement Of his cause, and be will
have done enough for himself and
those under his charge. More anon

is 6 question that may be open % discus
sion, However IN our opinion it Is the
duty OF every parent TO send his child
rem % the public school. This duty
the parent owes not only % tho child
but 70 the public school, Our public
schools sre at the very foundation Of
our government and on the success
with which the public school system
is conducted depends Ia q great meas
ure tbs success and prosperity Of our
government. Hence it Is the dnly OF
every citizen to aid to. he extent of his
ability In increasing the interest and EN-.
cheney of the public school This "a par
ent viii not do unless his chlldron are
attending the public school. Another
duty Of parents 50 this direction Is To
see TO Il that their children attend
school regui aElY. Parents should not
attemptaO shift the whole maiter az
pre- entiug truanCy and hardness upon
the teacher indeed the parents duty
in this respect is greater than the tea. IA
er's Parents can do much. 60 assist The
teacher III thus matter il they would
only try. Hardness -and irregular at.
tendance are the curse OF many other
wise good and successful scholars.
The teacher alone can not prevent
them. If parents neglect their duty IN
this respect and allow their children 10
run the streets like stage dogs when
they should be in school, they should
not complain of the teacher il their
I children are not advanced as ra idly ia
their studies as they would wish them
TO be, neither should they contribute
the corruption of the N ,ral1 of their
children To the influence Of the publ c
| school. To those who have not Thought
J of this matter, the mere missing of a
4 day now and then, or the matter of be-
! ing few minutes t6rdy every day or
/ two, may appear 10 be a very small
/ thing, yet if parents will consider this
/ earthly they will certainly be convinced
/ that il is of great Importance in many
/ ways and will acknowledge It TO be
! their duty to require of their children
punctual and regular attendance at
school.

for reading and the proper works to be
read. Let us, then, as patrons and
teacher, do what we can TO direct
properly the reading of the pupils Of
our school. 1t would be pleasing and
beneficial If persons interested would
send US copies of papers, magazines,
etc, If such papers and magazines con-
tain articles OF Importance to the
young-articles that would benefit in
stead of having an opposite effect. My
intention in making this request is 10
supply an abundance Of good reading
for the pupils of our school, this read
