An ExeeIIent Suggestion.


The following from an exchange deserves
serious att ntion: During the school days
parents should he very carefal of how they
speak of teachers before children. II there is
any fault to be found with teacher by par
ents it should he talked of in private and not
in hearing of the children. They arc wonder
full initators and if they hear anything Of the
Kind they will very naturally repeat it many
times, injuriDg the teacher aud the pupils
most Teachers, as d rule, are competent, or
they would not be employed, They have a
responsibility on their shoulders and parents
should do all in their power to help them, in
stead of to hinder. 1t would be well TO weigh
these subjects caiefully, cooperate with the
teachers visit the schools and encourage both
teachers and pupils in their work The re-
suit will be good work and better progress.
