CONCERNING THE PEOPLES ACADEMY.
Mr. EDITOR Being an interested spectator
at our school meeting, the 29th ult., and lis
tening to the discussion which came up in re
gard to whether certain amusements might
not be INDUCED in by those attending the
Academy, | would like to present few
thoughts from the other side.
The attempt to weaken the authority OF
the Principal, and create a new code OF rules
for the students, seems to me bad Judgment.
| 1t has been demonstrated time and again
| that when parents oppose a teacher in what
| he considers the best method of governing
| those under his charge, trouble and confusion
| ensues and like all other attempts to enforce
discipline between opposing factions, is
doomed to failure. The question of whether
| any amusement is right or wrong should have
| less thought bestowed upon it than what is
| best for the prosperity and well-being OF our
school. We are confronted with a grave
problem. the solution of which will involve
! the reputation and success of our Academy
| The citizens of our beautiful and growing
town cannot ignore their responsibility in
this matter, and public sentiment must settle
| the question whether dancing during the term
| of school is detrimental to the best work to
be obtained in twelve weeks OF study. Is il
not adding an unnecessary burden to the
| Principal, whose anxiety would be increased
lest those students from adjoining towns
should have their thoughts distracted from
their legitimate work by the excitement anC
freedom OF a public dance? To him parents
will look for the safety and protection o
their sons and daughters. To him will they
charge any failure which will compromise
their standing. is it not the duty of parents
in all towns which are honored with an insti
tutjon TO promote the culture and education
of our youth, to endeavOr to secure, by co
operation with the teacher, that high mora
standard which helps 10 make happy homes
and good citizenship?
Let us seriously reflect upon the position
we take, laying aside all luminosity and pref
udice, and consult only the permanent GOO
of our excellent school, in which we all have
inst pride and personal interest. "There is
time to laugh and time to dance" Every
thing in it's season; then peace and harmon
will prevail. The legality of any question
secondary in importance to the principle IN
yolyed. and we impair our influence for goo
when we seek Only self.indugence. L J.G.
