Parents Are Unss,r to Teacher.

THAT existing methods of educating
the young fall short Of the ideal there
is scarcely any question:" writes Ed
ward Box In the September Ladies'
Home Journal. 1.-The most prominent
educators Of the land admit this fact.
Every effort is undoubtedly made to
better prevailing systems. But the
fight is single-handed. As teachers and
educators constantly say, We are
alone; parents give us no assistance.
They do not even give US the benefit
Of ordinary interest And this 10 true
--lamentably true. Parents are NIL too
lax about the methods pursued In edu-
eating their children. In hundreds Of
cases they do not even know what the
methods are. They know nothing
about them. There Is no cooperation
Of the parent with the teacher. How.
ever much we may lie able to improve
modern methods OF education, the best
results to our children cannot be reach
ed until parent aud teacher shall come
into closer relations than they are at
present"
