Why don't parents visit the puDIlc

tlme". II seems to me as though
this question Is one Of Importance

close without having only two or
three visitors during the year. Now,
this must be n lacl, Of something
Perhaps Of interest In the school,
which, In turn shows lack of inter
est In your own child or children
If not, what does 1t showY Take
hold of this and see II you don't take
the same view Of 1t, Does 1t not
seem to You as though 1t was u part
of your duty to visit your school, to
ascertain IT, or not, the teacher Is
doing his or her duty, note the meth
Ods of teaching take In consideration
the condition ol the school room and
The many Other environments Of
both teacher and pupils which might
lead to better or worse terminals

either teacher or pupils or both, ell

of explanation ! once heard conyer-
satlon between two gentlemen, dur
ing the run Of which, one Of them

cannot be led to see what they are
going to school for, Some of them

due amount Of coaXing and that
should be a small amount, to disgrace
themselves, parents and school,
