ask Thee to guide us in the pres.

and strengthened US in times past,

ing us down, and we pray Thee
that Thou wilt raise up helpers.
Many Of us are even worse than
we were before the war. Thou
knowest our people have been muir
dered and persisted. Oh, wilt
Thou conquer for us, for Thou art
The same Savior thst Thou were
before. We have been too slow
and hare let this thing 90 until
loo many Of our people have been
murdered. But we leave it all in
Thy hands. We are so weak, but
we want strength from Thee. We
pray for our enemies, and for those
who Cypress us. We pray that
our people may meyer hereafter
send any one to Congress who will
assist to Cypress us. Lord help

I..iRENT AND TEACHER.

AS there has been considerable
gossip and some little excitement
in our community Of late concern
ing the management Of the schools,
perhaps a few thoughts under the
above bead will not be out Of
place. When the parent sends a
child to school and places II under
the control Of the teacher, q quasi
contract is at once created under
which the former agrees for the
latter to control and discipline
that child, and to cause it to con-
form to all the rules and regula-
tons necessary for the MAINTAIN
ance and government OF the school.
On The other hand the teacher
agrees to see that the child com
plies with these requirements, and
to treat it c,yilly and courteously.
Now in order thst the school be
properly controlled and the need
ful results attained, there should
exist perfect confidence and q
correct understanding between the
parent and teacher. When any
real or imaginary wrong has been
committed by the teacher and
communicated by the child, it is
certainly very wrong for the
parentto begin to uphold the child
and denounce the teacher, especial
ly is this wrong when ne investiga
ton has been made aud the teacher
has not been heard to explain.
AS a rule each patron thinks he
has The best aad most obcdlent
child In school. and it is hard
for any Of us to believe that our
child has inisreprescntcd the facts
or has been in the wrong. But
in most cases, though not in all,
the child is IN the wrong and the
teacher should bc supported and
Hphe}d lest the school prove q
failure. We do not pretend to
enter upon II general defense for
teachers, fer they sometimes do
wrong as well as the pupils. In
deed ito err is human But
when it really appears that
grievance has been done the child !
BY the teacher then the proper
course for the parent TO pursue, is
% go quietly and civilly to the
,eacher and reason the mat.cr
With him.
To abuse and denounce HIM
publicly and in the presence of
he child Is not only unmanly, but
causes the child and indeed the
Whole school, to lose respect for
he teacher as we'll as encouraging
lisobedience.
The fact is there arc too many
IF US who are unwilling for our
children to be made TO obey, we
are not willing for them to work.
1t matters not WI at teacher we get
unless the parents uphold him and
are willing for their children to
be controlled the school will
necessarily be 4 failure. We arc
inclined to the opinion that our
people are equally as much, in
fact more to blame than the |
teachers.
