The following is taken from an
exchange: Now that school has be-
gun, and thousands of teachers
throughout the country assume control
of their young charges once more. we
would advise parents to Tighten the
task of the teacher by proceeding in
the following manner: Remember
first that school boards never exercise
care in hireing teachers, they always
engage the FIRST person making ap-
plication. Second, that the teacher
has snap. You known how easy it
is to look after your one little darl-
ing. the teacher has only fifty to look
after. When school is out tonight
and little Percy comes home with q
long face and tells you how badly he
has been treated by the teacher, don t
90 to the teacher and learn her side OF
the story, but roast her up one side
and down the other and Of course. be
sure to do it right before Percy. 1t
will help Percy great deal and will
make it very pleasant for the teacher.
It Percy's progress isn't as rapid as
it should be, and he fails in study
or two at the end of the term, no
matter how dull he may be in these
branches. roast the teacher as being
no good. Percy will get along much
better if you do. Don't call at the
school house at the proper time and
find out what the difficulty is. but
call the teacher down in some public
place before crowd. or see member
of the school board, taking care that
you do not state your grievance, but
just roast Continue this manner
until the end of the year and then
when Percy. the little cherub, fails.
spread it broadcast that the teacher
failed Percy" Follow directions
closely and in about three years Percy
will be out of school and in the
street corner lineup, telling his as
sociates how he would have finished
school, ''if it hadn't been for the
teacher. -
