ADVICE TO PARENTS.

The Taylor County Herald
gives this timely and sound ad-
vice to parents that is applica-
BILE to many homes in this city,
county and State:
Let not hing whatever induce
you to keep your child from
school if it is physically able to
be a pupil. Nothing 'can do a
child as much good as educa-
ton, and to deprive them of it,
when it can be had without
much cost, is a wrong never to
be forgotten or forgiven. It
takes away that equality with
the educated in business and So
cial standing when children ar.
rive at maturity. 1t is only in
childhood when an education
can be secured, and it is such a
great help all through life.
Send the children to school,
even if you have to deprive
yourself OF many comforts, and
you will never regret it, Moth
ing elevating can be expected
of an uneducated person. The
few pennies a child might earn
by remaining away from school
is nothing compared to learning,
and to force child to work in
stead of going to school is rob-
bling it of that which can never
be recovered. If you love your
child show it by educating it,
fitting it for the stern realities
of future life, and endeavor to
make it's lot easier than yours
have been. Don't give a child
a chance to upbraid you later in
lite for its ignorance and incom'
potency.
