PARENTS ARE UNFAIR TO TEACH
ERS.
Lax In AScertaining How Their Chill
dren are Taught.

dren are Iau2nt.
That existing methods OF educating the
young fall short of the ideal there is
scarcely any question. The most promi-
nent 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: 1--WE are
alone; parents give us no assistance.
They don't even give Us the benefit OF
ordinary interest And this is true
lamentably true. Parents are ali too
lax about the methods pursued in edu
eating their children. There is no CO
operation of the parent with the teacher.
However much We may be able TO i'm
prove modern methods OF education, the
best results to our children cannot be
reached until parent and teacher shall
come into closer relations than they are
at present.
So writes Edward W. Box in the
September Ladies Home Journal.
Nor is lack of interest in ascertain
ing the methods by which their chill
dren are taught the only mistake
parents make. II would not be so
bad if the teachers were merely left
alone and given no assistance by
patrons. But it frequently occurs
that parents seriously interfere with
the progress of the child by taking
sides with it as against the teacher.
If boy does not learn and develops
the meanness that is in him the
teacher is blamed for it; but if the
teacher undertakes to enforce dis
cipline by infiicting punishment he
is given to understand that this is
not considered the proper thing and
will not be tolerated. 1t is all right
to whip some body else's child-he
is bad boy and needs it-but "my
boy never does anything wrong and
does not deserve punishment"
That is the way the average parent
argues and acts and boy is not long
in finding it out either. And when
he learns that the teacher is not
going to be sustained by the parent,
and understands that if any deviltry
is done some body else will get the
credit for it by the folks at home,
then in a majority of cases it is time
and money wasted keeping him at
school. 1t is an injustice to both
teacher and pupil for parents to en-
courage boy in the notion that ne
is too good to be punished and made
| to study and behave himself if he
| will not do it without.
No, your boy may not be any more
of saint than some other boy and if
he does not make the progress in his
books and morals that he should sup
pose you investigate the matter a
little and see where the fault lies.
Do this in all justice and fairness
and we venture to say the teacher
will not be to blame in every case.

Mad Dog Excitement.

Tuesday night dog belonging to
George Bruce, colored, from all &C
counts appears to have developed a
genuine case of hydrophobia and
started out on a mission of terror to
everything he came in contact with.
Police Officer Ousby spent the most
of the night trying to run the dog
down and thinks he must have visit
ed nearly every house in town.
The dog went to the house OF Mr..
w. F. Young and killed a small
pointer puppy belonging to MIR. H.
S. Major and carried the puppy in
his mouth to Mrs. Rosa Stones, where
it seems he attempted to stratch a
hole and bury it in the ground. He
also bit Mr.. Young's dog and those
of Mr.. Sam Street and Henry Dur
ham.
The brute was killed about light
yesterday morning. There is nc
telling the number of dogs and other
animals bitten. The swollen tongue
and frothing mouth indicated that
the dog was mad.

during the past week. He reached
Henderson Friday evening. coming
over from Virginia where Mrs. Nor
ton is staying at present. An ap-
pointment having been made for him
he preached at the cotton factory
that night, and on Sunday he preached
a splendid sermon in the Presbyter-
ian church. The church was crowded :,
many members of other denomina-
tions as we'll as DR.. Morton's old con-
gregation being present. At night
the attendance was not so large, the
rain keeping many away, but the
sermon was strong and able one,
sweet and comforting as the morn
ing effort had been.
DR.. Morton left Monday. He will
spend a short while in Virginia and
then return to his work as Synodical
evangelist in the district of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, under the juris-
diction of the Synod Of Mississippi.
