Commencement 9'uyshuVg High School,
"OtIlcr Fields TO C.Ienn y

"Otltcr Fields TO G.Ienn.c
Another year Of toll and care m our
Schools has closed, and ten more added
to the busy throng who have "other
fields to CLEAN" Ithas been year of
harmony with parents, teachers and
classes and the results are apparent on
every hand. No teacher can succeed
when the pupil receives encouragement
in disobedicnce from the parent however
well qualified the teacher may be. This
is something every parent should h, cd
who have the education and welfare of
the child at Heart, and patiently and
thoroughly investigate every complaint
before decision is reached and any ex-
preston of sympathy is made manifest.
If it prove the fault of the teacher
make this known to the proper author
ity, in proper manner, and there isfbut
little doubt but what the trouble will be
corrected If the trouble he found with
the pupil adopt such methods as wi
prevent future trouble. Much, if not all
the trouble arising in schools would be
averted if this method is pursued.
Prof. Dick, with his well developed
physical and mental qualifications and
habits of industry, has proven an ex-
cellent man for the position of Supt.,
stimulating habits of industry and pro.
ficincy in all the departments, In this
he has had the cooperation of the full
corps of teachers, and the results are
plainly visible at the closing up of the
school year.
