term of this nature for
no teacher can fail to derive some
benefit from them. The following
extract is from a paper read by
Principal Thomas of the Burling-
ton High School and deserves the
attention of every parent
Let parents govern their childrens !
time, be careful of their health and try !
to realize the preciousness of the period .
Of their school life Do parents realize .
how utterly impossible it is to replace
or make up loss of time in child's
school life? From the time he begins .
school until he ends, be the period long .
or short, the one business of his life .
ought to be his school. Nothing can,
lasting hurt him, be allowed .
to interfere with it. School must be
first, and all other things secondary.
Guard his time, therefore, and con-
troll it so that he may not waste it or
spend it amiss. Then health, if he
showed signs of illness, l should try
cutting off everything else except nee
essary recreation first, before his school
work. With regular and long hours
Of rest, and plain, wholesome food,
very few children are hurt by all the
work they can be induced or compell-
I'd to do. Parents owe this to their
children and they owe it to the schools.
But it means hard, constant, faithful,
owing, self-sacrifcing work on their
part and not all parents are willing to
10 it."
