AS Schools are Now About to
Open Mothers and Fathers
Would Do Well to Con-
slider and Heed these Sug-
gestions.
From Rock Hill Record.

NOW IndJ Une SCnOOlS are ABOUT
to open for another term let us
impress upon you the necessity
that mothers and fathers coop
crate willingly and intelligently
in the work that the school teach
ers have to do.
There is much talk, in homes.
of the school teachers short
comings. There is far too much
readiness to listen to the stories
of children excusing their own
poor work with criticism of teach
ers. The matter is most serious.
The teacher cannot possibly do
his best work and give the best
results unless the parents coop
crate with him intelligently.
Fathers and mothers know
what an a'rocious thing spoiled
child is. You pity the father and
mother that must control one
spoiled child. Don't fail to pity
the public school teacher who is
expected to control a dozen or
more spoiled children. The first
thing for you fathers and moth
ers is to see to it that you do not
send spoiled children to the
schools. Remember that the most
intelligent, conscientious, devot-
ed teacher can see all of his work
made useless by overpetting of a
child or foolish severity with a
child.
Fathers and mothers in Amer
lea demand, properly, that a
teacher shall not strike a child.
They should send to the teacher
children that do not REQUIRE
blows.
Fathers and mother demand
thatin school their children
shall be controlled by moral
suasion. Let them send to the
teachers children that are accus
toned to be controlled in that
manner. Realize that the father
Is teachers partner in educa
ton, and that the mother is the
teachers ally. Think what a
task you put before the teachers,
when you expect them to con.
troll so many children who at
home are too often directed in
opposition to the teachers wish
es and even encouraged to disc
bey the teacher.
Never encourage a child to
speak dlsreS pecliully OF Il teach.
er. Never encourage a child TO
put blame upon teacher. There
are defective teachers, of course.
And it does happen that the
child may bring to its father or
mother truthful tales of the
shortcomings on lhe teachers
part. Investigate these things if
you will. But investigate them
Tor yourselves, remembering ,hc
tendency Of childhood to exag
geration.
Don't be made foolish by the
fact that IL is your chtId that
talks. Find out for yourself,
without encouraging the child
to disobedIonce by listening 100
eagerly to its story. Then. If Won

Small Insurance Companies Fail

CHICAGO, April 20.-It was declared last night
by Chicago insurance men that many of small acci-
dent and fire companies probably will be forced to
suspend business because of their enormous loss in
San Francisco. Even some of the bigger companies
will be hard pressed The total amount Of liability
involved now is placed at more than 100000 900 in
San Francisco alone. This amount which the fire
insurance companies will be called upon to meet is
considered conservative. Added to the losses in San
Francisco will be at least 900 loss to be met
in other cities. Insurance men here are worried to
degree bordering on panic.
