tainable.
On Monday of next week the public
schools of this city will begin the
WORK OF another year. This city has
been fortunate in the past in possess.
ing an able corpse of teachers for its
pubic schools, and with the beginning
or another year it is we'll for the
parents OF the children to sit for a
little time and commune with them
selves, and ascertain by a thorough
self examination the extent to which
they have in the past aided the teach
ers In the education of their children
ZOO often, we believe. it is the case
that the parent sees their children of
TO school at the beginning of the
school year, with the feeling of relief,
rather than expectancy. The fact
that the little ones are gaining the
knowledge that will better enable
them to fight tie strenuous battles of
life is but secondary considerable q
and the gratitude is born more from
the knowledge that for the greater
portion of the day at least the teacher
will have the care of them. We do
not mean that this is true IN all
cases, but in great many.
The teacher is the one person at the
present time that is the most talked
of in this community. She is en-
trusted with the moulding of the
minds of the little ones who are to
make and control the nation and
homes in the future, and yet how
many of the parents appreciate, or
even think of the great responsibility.
Perhaps the child that you are send
ing to her is spoiled at home. Per-
haps even the parents do not agree as
to the proper me thod of controlling
its acts, and yet what will you say, or
what will you do, the first time the
child complains of the teacher? Will
you take the teachers side until you
prove she is wrong in her course with
your unrully child, or will you believe
unqualifidlY the story of the little
one, who like all children, is prone to
exaggeration? How much easier the
teachers work will become, and how
much better will be her influence on
your child for its good, if you will CO.
operate with her in her efforts in your
child's behalf. Parents become CO..
partner with the teacher of your child
and assume joint responsibility;
visit the schools. at least your child's
class, and watch it's progress and
mental attachments under the con-
ditionS thus created, and you will for
ever praise the course the teacher
has taken for the education of your
child. The future happiness of your
child, your home, and the nation de-
pends upon her efforts, and your CO.
operation will make her path more
smooth and compensate in measure
for the tireS0me labor she is devoting
to your child.
Appended hereto, are articles of in
formation from Supt. YOuker as
well as a list of the teachers in the
different schools, Find out the one
who will have charge of your child
during the next year, and cooperate
