itself. The treatment most likely
to be given will be an an2 sthetic
to put the school to sleep while
real indications of life are watch
I'd for.
If you are the parent of child
indifferent to his education and
ignorant of how scanty the op-
FORTUNES that you are giving him,
to the extent to want to divide
the already short school, term and
employ some make-shift of a
teacher who hasn't character
enough to have way of her own
and who is willing to take your
school at your own terms simply
to get place, it is high TIM
to consider your own duty and tc
include among the cares of your
life the education of your child.
You claim that a seven months
term undivided robs. you of the
work that you need your child to
do IN the field; but it is fact,
that if you make slave of your
child and fail to give him to the
limit of you power that educa'
tiOn and culture that God intends
he shall have hand in hand with
a, his physical growth, you violate
without excuse the trust that God
has put in your hands and sin
against the life OF your own flesh
and blood.
Let's discuss the merits of a
seven months term unbroken and
see if we cant agree, anyway.

children who attend school in

Ter whose instruction is worth

out of school at the age of 13, or
or IL if you wish, and then he is
much better off than the boy who

only the present but the future
character of their boys9 Let's
make our schools good for them.
Giving the proper tendencies and

This aust not be construed to

the best thing that I could possi-
bly, do for both. The conduct of
patrons and trustees will now
serve as q ready label to the charl

are progressive enough to have
their terms taught out continu-

good work as a teacher and can
point out results to prove it, you
will have no trouble to get the
best school. Good teachers will
be enabled to get better schools

possibly have . larger number Of
applicants from which to choose
a teacher. Sorry schools that
refuse to meet help half way will
have to do better or take teach.

Good teachers and good schools
are thus both held. In the term,

larger schools in point of excel
