AMONG THE SCHOOLS.
There Should Be a Closer Interest on
the Part of Paren'S,
And More Frequent Visits to the
Institutions of Learning-The jun

Our public schools are the people
! schools, and therefore the people ought
10 take an interest in them ana see wheth-
er the teachers are doing their whole
| duty. The people furnish the money TO
run the schools. they send their children
10 them TO be educated, giving them over
! 10 the teacher for six hours a day for five
| days in the week, and then many of them
/ never go 10 the school at all 10 see
whether they are being taught properly
! or not. Il is strange that people 20 thus,
| but so IL has been ever since puDhc
schools have had an existence. Parents
/ do not act this way in anything else. IL
/ they have an overseer 10 attend 10 their
| homes or their cattle, they visit them al
/ most daily TO see II they are properly
! cared for, and this is right. II they nave
/ man 10 attend to their business they are
/ very careful 10 see that he does his duty
| well-tnis is right also; but they send
/ their children 10 a teacher with Whom
/ perhaps they are not even acquainted
I and scarcely ever. II ever at all, visit the
I school 10 see whether that child Is being
/ taught properly. How strange TINS is, bul
/ 1t Is even SO. Some parents say, on l
/ know the teacher is al right, ana IL ulu
I go 10 school l could not tell whether my
/ child is taught properly or not. Out ne
l does not reason thus in the Olher cases
mentioned But parents, suppose You
u
I ence Will encourage your children, ana II
you knew how much II would encourage
/ the teacher. you would now ana then be
found in the school room, II only LOT q
few minutes at time.
In going from school TO school, one IS

I are not progressive, we retute the char6e'
