Parents at the Institute.

T HE REALLY most important
aud interesting note that has
Il appeared in the reports OF
this weeks Teachers lnSti-
tute is the statement that there has
heen "a large attendance of parents
al its sessions. When the parents in
large numbers in any community be-
gin to manifest an interest in school
work and in what is being brought to
the teachers attention. the next step
Is likely To be an advance into the study
of school lesiSla ton and of methods
enforced by boards Of control. boards
of directors and superntendentS.
In communities where such parental
interest has been awakened reforms in
methods have. more or less rapidly,
heen SET on foot. Possibly these re-
forms may yet arrive at the elimination
Of politics from the control of the
schools. That would indeed be a happy
day. the inausura ton of an era of good
never yet attained in the conduct of
the schools.
The proposed reform in Philadelphia
public schools, Of promotions by the
results of the daily record OF lessons
and the teachers Judgment on develop
Ing powers, instead of by the written
examination procedure. comes from the
intelligent interest Of parents aroused
by the success of the James FDrien
school in the first place. That. as The
Tribune has already had occa sion to
note, has become an object lesson a
model school, showing the wisdom of
the elimination OF the deeply rooted ex-
animation fad.
In some other places, as has been re-
corded from time to time in the public
prints. other good results have come
from the awakening of interest in the
parents minds. For instance. the pre-
venting of the throwing out of good
text books and replacing them b,
Others less valuable under pressure
from agents of publishers. Such reiec-
lion of the good and substitution of In.
poor. if not positively bad, has. as the
public well knows, stirred up scandal
as we'll as dissatisfaction. in divers
'laces. But ii is only when parents
arouse themselves and display The
courage of their convictions that re-
form or progress worth while finally
comes to pass, whoever may have been
The pioneers. Therefore. We again re-
mark, the reported large attendance or
parents at an institutes session is for
This city an encouraging sign of the
