Scranton High School.
Editor Democrat Star.

Editor Democrat Star.
1t is a deploratle fact that our High school
is not what it should be, and the outlook for
the mex, term is not at all fattering.
First, the people do not seem to appreciate
the SCHOOL, This has been manifest hereto
fore in the irregularity Of attendance and the
withdrawal Of patronage for very trivial rea-
sons, and often without any reason at all, ex-
cept that the child wanted to quit. Patrons
too often leave the question of attending
school at the option Of their children, who are
not capable of knowing what is best, nor Of
approaching the advantages Of an education.
Again, patrons do not stand by the school in
the efforts of the teachers to enforce disci-
pine. Discipline is absolutely essential to the
existence of a school, and patrons should in
sist upon it and sustain the faculty.
Secondly, the Trustees deserve some criti-
cism. Especially is this true with reference
to the election of teachers. Teachers are not
chosen until late in September, just before
the opening of school. BY that time all the
best teachers are engaged, as a rule, and only
those left to choose from whose applications
have failed elsewhere. No other school board
in the State act so injudiciously. Ocean
Springs, Moss Paint and other High-schools
elected principles long ago, and have their
faculty IN the ground, at work for the school.
Why are our Trustees so tardy? Get a move
I'M you, gentlemen, II you are interested in the
school. II moi, you should resign and let only
patrons of the school serve az Trustees,
If you want 10 Kill the school, all ynu have
to do is to follow the present policy. Coco
citizens do not want to live in a town without
a good public sclool. PATRON.
