THE SCHOOL AS A
T1ORAL FACTOR.

think every one will agree that
there are certain qualities that every
one should have in order to be good
citizen. Among these NAV be mention
ed, courage honesty, industry, truth
fulness, obedience, kindness. gentle
ness, politeness, etc.
Now. morality has to do with con-
duct. 1t is what we do that makes
us moral or immoral. Emerson SAID,
Conduct is three. fourths of life y
II this is true, do parents pay enough
attention to the conduct OF the child
rem? DO teachers pay enough atten-
ton tc the way in which child
rem behaveg It is what we do that
determines character, that makes as
good or bad. that makes us useful or
useless. that makes us help or a
hindranee to our fellow men. II is
our daily actions of all sorts that
make us moral or immoral.
Let us lock for few moments at
what the school may do IN this direc-
tion and let us take in this article
the single quality of honesty. The
teachers assigns lesson, explains
what is to be done by the pupils, and
they cone to the class the next day
TO recite the lesson. They are asked
to close their books If some keep
their fingers in the place of the les
son, take sly glance at the book, or
if tie teacher stands so that the
pupil can keep the book open down
behind the seat on his lap and then
reads from the book every answer to
the questions asked. how the pupil de-
ceives the teacher and deceives him.
self rs to his progress. What is worse,
the pupil is getting the habit of being
dishonest. of deceiving everv time he
thinks, in his ignorance it is to his
interest TO do so.
Take another case. Every class
ought to have written test at least
once a month, and in some studies
more freq uentlv than that. Ii now
there are twentv-nine double seats in
the room and over fifty pupils and
we have several such. SO that two
pupils have to sit in the same seat to
write examination test. can they be
expected to do that and not copy
from each other? To expect it liz to
expect children to do what even men
could not do. Here are favorable
conditions for forming the habit OF
dishonesty. II the teacher tells the
pupil not to copy from each other,
she only adds another opportunity for
the practice of disobedience, and
make the decentralization greater, for
the children can not help seeing
