Tothe people Of shenandoah IL should !
be a source of much pride that they have |
so uobly provided for the education of the |
youth Of all classes. The commencenen ent |
exercises held last evening by the Gram
mar schools reflects much credit upon our
corps Of instructors, and shows that grade
Of our schools 10 be in excellent condition.
The High school exercises this evening
will no doubt show a similar standard OF
efficiency
There is no Just reason why the attend.
anCe at the schools should not be much
larger. There is a want of proper appre-
citation on the part of some in the use oil
what is so abundantly supplied. Our
| teachers will tell you that there are many
| children who attend school very irregu-
| larlv, and others not at all Our Board
| of Directors have furnished the required
number of buildings hired able and
| efficient teachers, and now supply books
| and other supplies free, and still, with all
| these inducements to get an education,
some parents are utterly indifferent and
hermit their children to grow mp in
| ignorance and not unfrequently vicious.
Wasteful of opportunities themselves,
they hanu down the same traits To their
| pOSItIlUy, " no lo-ud1 hIt ElNFl NlN hN-
vantage of greater privileges than what
they could possible have enjoyed. No
parent can, in justice TO his offspring and
the community at large, allow his chill
dren suffer in years to come for the want
Of proper education. What is loss to-day
in this respect can never be regained in
future years.
