Cooperation Of Teacher ana Parent.

Editor News ecord:-Co.opera-
ton implies the working together
of two or more forces toward a
common end. In this work OF
education are two great forces, the
home and the school, each with it's
prime controller, the parent and
the teacher, How, then, shall
these two forces work together
toward common end, the develop
-ment of childhood into true man
hood and womanhoodY
This question involves the con-
sideration of three things-the
duty of the parent to the school,
the duty of the teacher to the
home, and the duty of both to the
child.
Parents cannot afford to be
ignorant or Indifferent in the mat.
ter of the child's school environ
ment. They should familiarizt
themselves as far as possible with
the motives anu character or the
teachers who have so large a part
in the training OF their children.
They may not stand At the head OF
education in professional way,
but in breadth of view and earnest
ness OF purpose they may stand
shoulder to shoulder with those
who have chosen this as their life
work.
We recognize in a general way,
that the child has a three fold
nature, and that we desire for the
child a vigorous body, well de-
velop,d mind, and an ennobled
and responsive spirit. But we
fail to recognize, at least practi-
cally, that these natures cannot be
separated, that they must be
