Respectfully.

Mr.. EDrToR,-The opening OF a new
school year calls attention to our public
schools and induces me to offer few
suggestions. To get the greatest gain
from our schools the parents must be in
terested in them and visit them, and be-
come acquainted with the duties and diff

law in the school room. Parents some
times find two or three children-and
these their own-troublesome, and be
come very tired Ct having them around.
What about teacher with room full
not their own! When thirty or forty
children are collected into one room some
will be good and obedient, others rude
