The Duty of Parents to Sustain Those

The Duty of Parents to Sustain Those
Who Teach Their Children.
1t seems hardly possible that parents
realize how greatly their influence is
felt for good or bad Gas the actions de-
cide) in the minds of public-school
teachers. just in proportion as you
lend your sympathy and sustain their
efforts toward improvement in adVanc-
ing the elements Of knowledge among
the pupils under their charge, just a~S-s
much more energy and zeal will respond
in the hearts of these public stewards, if
so be they are worthy instruments, capa-
BILE of sustaining their calling. Little
wrongs productive of serious results
have oftentimes thoughtlessly been car
ried on by parents, or other memIel
of the family, canvassing faults or weak
points which some one may have dis
covered about the person of the teacher
in presence of children, the teacher 81
day pupils. Young minds are quick to
take the cue and their actions will be
nodded accordingly.
Now if it be necessary to canvass the
teacher, why not select some of the bet
ter points. Settle upon some act
| worthy of commendation, and instill a
| feeling of respect in the minds of these
young pupils. Their actions rarely fail
| to impress the true valuation in which
| the teacher is held in the home circle.
Home government has powerful in
| fiuence in the school-room. A we'll
| trained child, one that is accustomed
| to obey at home, rarely ever gives
| trouble in school-room They may be
mischievous and eager for fun, but not
willfully ugly. Said an old and ex-
| perienced teacher: .tAll care to know
of child's home influence and sur
roundings is to live with it six days in
the school-room.
1t is the districts duty and obligation
to support and sustain the worthy
merits of their teachers. 1t is necessary
| to the teachers faithful discharge OF
duty that they have the respect OF the
community wherein their labors extend.
The practice of allowing children to
relate all the incidents that transpl,-ss
during school and play hours, at hom=s
or abroad, should not be tolerated.
Yet many parents do allow it, and even
question them to learn full particulars
in regard to childish differences, which
are of universal occurrence when Mill
dren congregate, and if left to die out
of its own accord will produce but little
disturbance, but if carried into the
hands of other parties, the cry will soon
be: "Behold what a great fire little
matter kindleth." Consistency, thou
art a Jewell" Therefore, my friends,

So he locked the desk, and hung the
key above the tall clock beside it.
'"There, myyoung squirrel, you won't

bye.
After he was gone mamma stepped
into the kitchen to tell Bridget about

had put it there. She wanted to whistle
with it. Oh hum! if she was a little
speck of bird she would fly against it
and brush it down with her wings. Or
if Sambo was only an angel! She
danced across the floor, and threw him
up as high as she could. Instead of
knocking down the key she knocked
poor Sambo's stocking yarn head
against the wall, and he fell fiat upon
the top of the desk.
'Lie still, Sambo," cried Weezy,
mounting chair. From the chair she
easily climbed to the broad shelf of the
desk. There she rested moment,
leaning her chin on the top of the desk
and patting Sambo. But she did not
take him in her arms, for not far above
him hung the key. She had set htss
little heart on getting it.
What do you think the little sprite
did next? All by herself she scrambled
to the very top of that big desk. Stand
ing on tiptoe, she tried to reach over
the clock! Even then she was mot
quite tall enough to grasp the key W w
her chubby little fingers; but by perc q
ing upon Sambo she got it at last.

Mark Twain's wealth is thus stated:

Miss Grace Virginia Lord, who was

over million to his two sons and two

The late Joaquin Alcalde, of Mex
leo, was in past years one of the most
distinguished lawyers and political
leaders in that country. He was the
counsel for Santa Anna in the military
court of Vera Cruz, and also did his
best to defend the Inflated Miramon at
Queretaro. In 1866 and 1866 he was
the champion of the Liberals against

Victor Hugo's long memory
spanned the seventy years between
Waterloo and the present; and he had
already won some reputation as a ris-

set out on his last journey to Greece,
where, instead of fighting with the
Greeks in their war of liberation, he
died after short illness at atMissolonghi
in 1924. When we think of Hugo as
almost contemporary of Shelley and
Keats, who seem as far beyond us as
the Queen Anne worthless, we realize
both the extent of his career and the
changes which he witnessed.

About halt past o'clock, yesterday,
while argumentin the case Of Lewis & Wood
msnsee VS.. R. s. Kincheloe was il progress
before Judge Boyd, in Part One of the
Circuit Court, quite lively little scene
occurred between the opposing counsel
Counsel for the plaintiff took exception to
a statement by one Of the attorneys on the
other side, characterizing his language IS
rejecting. upon the Court and opposing
counsel, and as being discourteous in the
extreme. Counsel for the defense resented
the inputation, but the plaintiffs lawyer
insisted upon bis construction, whereupon
counsel for the defense let bis bunch OF
fves loose at his opponent. The blow was
psrried, and 9 motion made to return it,
when another counsellor interfered as a
peacemaker. By this time the Court took
q hand and succeeded in enforcing order,
imposing g fine of 800 on the attorney who
frst made use of his fist. Later in the
day the parties settle the affair auicably.
1t created no little talk about town during
the afternoon.
