PLACE TO COMMENCE SCHOOL
REFORr1S.

Among tbs many suggested re-
forms for the next General Assembly
to handle, that in regard to the pub
lie schools Of the State is an import
ant one.
Bat in This very connection are
there not many needed reforms to
the public school system, which
should and can be remedicl outside
os the Legislature?
Are there not many local matters
which ought to receive the closest
attention Of the school committee
men?
Are there not many things which
would show Improvement if the
parents occasinaIly attended the
schools. and watched how their chill
dren were being taught? =
Are there not many local reforms
which the school committeeman and
the parents can bring about by work
inc together2
There is much legislation which
is necessary and which viii undoubt-
cilv receive the careful attention of
the General Assembly. but such leg
i,lation is not all that is demanded.
As above questioned. the school
committeeman can do much good in
their localities if they they will do
SO.
Let the parents visit the school
room where their children are being
taught
Such visits will not embarrass
teachers, rather it Will help them,
and also impress the children that
their schooling is important, and
worthy the visits from their parents
School teachers do their best, but
they cannot see all or do all, and
suggestions from committeeman and
parents will materially aid them.
and the kind word of encourage
mcnt will add year to teacher :
life.
The real place to commence school
reforms is right at the school house
and if this Is done State legislation
will be easy of Solution.-New Berne

Walisville, Chambers County. Texas,
April FARMERS are anxious to see rain,
most of whom have their corn and cotton

no prospects of crop; no corn up; wheat
