CHEATING THE CHILDREN OF
THEIR SCHOOLING.

Attention is being centered on the
large number of children in the public
schools who do not go beyond the
seventh or eight grades, quitting when
they are 13 or IA years of age. Hardly
over a third of those who enter the
public schools, it is said remain there
after they are fourteen or fifteen years
old. In some instances this may be
due to poverty on the part of parents,
the desire to avail themselves of the
earning capacity of the child, espec-
tally if boy, but in too many instanc-
es, it is to be feared, it is due more to
Indifference on the part Of parents than
ito actual inability on their part to con-
tinue children in school beyond the
ordinary grammar grades.
Even here in Americas it is notice.
able that the attendance of boys in the
public schools materially decreases af-
ter the grammar grades are passed.
All TOO frequently boys are found on
the streets doing nothing who should
be at school In other instances they
are occupying some working position
where they are learning nothing of
practical value, nothing that really
equips them for the battle of life. Yet
the parents Of these boys would resent
the idea that they were either not fin
ancialIy able to keep them in school.
or that they were Indifferent to their
future welfare.
Discussing this matter a recent writ
er says:
Children are entitled to the best
that We can give them. Sentiment, our
sense of justice, the law of the land,
and our concern for the welfare of the
country have insured them, apparently
the certainty of goo deducations; but
the records of the schools now being
published by the Government show
that thousands of our children are de-
frauded year after year of the benefit
of public schools. So startling is the
situation that it is time for parents to
awake to the fact that they are cheat
ing their boys and girls of the thing
most necessary for fighting the hard
battles of life.
1T is a common and threadbare
boast that every youngster in the land
is sure OF an education and a fair
start; but the boast has not yet
brought with it the achievement. Sta
tistics show that not more than half of
the children throughout the United
States obtain the benefits of schooling
provided in graded public schools
Most children do go to school whei
they are seven and eight years old; but
woefully few are found at their desks
at the ages of fourteen and fifteen.
I'm those few years their ranks have
been decimated by two principal caus
es: their illness, and the indifference
of parents,-indeed, the illness of chill
dren is often due to the neglect of pa
Irents. So that, taking this into con
s1deratiOn, We are forced to the con
Iclusion that the parents of the country
at present are guilty of cheating chill.
