cherished wife our sincere sympathy and pray that
strength will be given her to bear up under this
heavy and terrible fiiction.
ResOlred That whilst we are oppressed with sa l.
ness and grief the great loss which our country
has sustained the duty of the hour is to give loyal

To the Patrons of the Public Schools.

The attention of the public school patrons
is called to the following from the Teachers
Hand Book, prepared by Prof. Simpson, the
Examiner, and published by order of the
School Board:
From years perence am convinced that a
word ought TO be said in reference 10 the part and
the responsibility the patrons should in the
work of establishing good school in the commun-
ity. The teacher does not deny his responsibility;
he assumes that, and this book contains much adj
vice. direction and instruction TO the duty of the
teacher. But if the school is TO meet with the sue
de erves the parents IN the district must
operate with the teacher. They can do very much
by way of kind suggestion, sympathy and by giving
their support TO the teacher in securing good order
and discipline in the school. Obedience order AID
and quite are absolutely essential to successful work
in the school room, and these can be assured only
where the patrons cooperate with the teacher and
give him their support When the parents become
acquainted with the trials and difficulties of the
teacher, and strive to encourage him with helpful
suggestions the result generally will be good
school in the community.
We are sure to have good schools IN the commune
ity when ties patrons understand the situation and
Ike active interest i'll the success of the school
The School Commissioners are solicitors, and are
tryin to have good schools in every community; but
find it necessary for the patrons to become in
terested and to give their kind support and cooper
alton in order 10 secure the greatest efficiency in
every part of the work of public education.
Three good men in every district ought to be will
ing the duties of trustees and the rest of
the community ought to cooperate with these in
establishing Il school of which all would have II
right to be proud
should like to have these matters brought more
fully to the attention OF parents; for in this The
patrons will be induced TO take more interest, TO
assume their part of the responsibility and they
will willing cooperate with the teacher ana the
examiner in establishing good schoolsin the county.
