VIGILANCE NECESSARY.

1t behooves democrats to be on
their guard. The friends of pre-
datory interests the beneficiar-
les of special privilege and gov
ernmental favoritism are al
ways at work. They never sleep.
With them politics is a business
because they make the govern
ment a business asset. They are
able to bring pressure to bear
upon their class of papers. When
they want to nominate a man for
office, he at once becomes a man
of distinction, a man Of ability
lust the man for whom the peo-
pie are looking. And they have
somebody for Office whenever
there is place to be filled. They
have their candidates for con-
gress and for the senate. They
have their candidates for all the
iudgeships, for the cabinet and
for the presidency. They are
Just now laying their plans to
CAPTURE the democratic national
convention and nominate q can
didate who will be satisfactory
to the Wall Street interests. Ii
they find that the progressive
sentiment is too strong to be en-
tirely ignored, they will take
someone who has been progress
sive enough to furnish them
something to talk about but not
progressive enough to frighten
the interests.
The democrtic party seems
ready to ccme into its own. After
along fight the progressive polici-
es which aroused the opposition
of all the predatory interests ir
1896 are becoming the accepted
policies of the country, but the
interests will do their best tt
nominate a candidate whois no
in sympathy with them and wh(
tried to retard their progress
Let not the democrats be deceiv
ed. The work Of a democrati,
president will be no easy work
The cleaning out of the stable
will be Herculean task. It viii
require strength of body, siren
9th of mind and unfinching NOR

compromise. The times requir

teachers, and nineteen out OF

do get along, the chances are
good that it is the child's fault,
and not the fault Of the teacher.
School patrons have a right to
investigate school conditions. 1t
is more than a right; it is a duty.
There are teachers who are fail
urs, and it is shame for them
to be retained and waste the time
of pupils; but before a removal
is made, it should be known that
there is good reason for the
change. A child's story or the
complaint of a disgruntled parent
is not sufficient ground for a re-
moval. The likes or dislikes of
pupils are by no means safe guilds
of a teachers worth. Poor teach
ers often please the public, and
the best Of teachers sometimes
fail to. People who are compe-
tent to judge Of work should visit
schools for long enough periods
of time to know the worth of a
teacher, and then the employ
ment should be based on such
knowledge.
j Parents as a whole, are just,
Duncan Arizonian., 1911-04-12

considerate, and helpful; but it is
doubtful, very doubtful, whether
they are careful enough in know
ing the real condition of the
school room, and there by enabl-
ing themselves to foster the best
interest of their children. Re

! to go elsewhere to seek employ
ment. with a scandalous story
going ahead as a recommend,
but that is all right. Her pupils
may have their confidence in her
destroyed, which would discount
her work to her pupils one half;
but if forty pupils do lose half
the value of a years work, that
is small in comparison with the
pleasure offered some chronic
kicker.
Jonnie does not get along with
his teacher, but tits not his fault.
Of course not. That cranky tea
cher ought to know how to make
him like to go to school: He
doesn't work, and is as full of
mischief as they make them, but
he is just at the awkward age
and means no harm, therefore
the teacher should put up with
him even if it ruins the discip-
line Of an entire room. The
fond parent complains to others
parents, it becomes common gos-
sip; and finally the trustees are
importuned not to re-employ a
teacher who is such a failure. Of
course, that is a perfectly proper
thing to do but is it not also fair
and proper for that parent first
to find whether he has just couse
for his action?
In the majority of cases where
severe criticisms are passed, the
one making the charges is not
competent to judge, and even
less often has he ever poked his
ignorant head inside of a school
room, and the more ignorant he
is the more severe and positive he
is in his criticisms.
One time a man said to crowd,
That old woman don't know
nothing. She haint got no busi-
ness a teaching school, and then
he poured forth a string Of such
eloquence. 1t is doubtful if he i
could read in third reader, and |
certain that he had never visited |
the school; but he did keep his |
boy out every few days so that |
he lost his grade. Them he blam-
ed the teacher for the boys fail
ure. Such q criticism comming
from such a person is un worthy |
of notice, except that in this ms
tance his influence was sufficient |
to secure the removal of q good |
teacher the next year. There are |
many such instances.
Another time a man worked |
hard to defeat trustee at cleo
ton time, because the trustee |
was favorable to a teacher whom |
the man objected to. He had a
perfect right to do that, but the |
reasons for his objections were
The complaint q
common one was that the teach
er could not get along with his |
boy, and his boy had never had
trouble with previous teachers.
This mans memory was serious
ly at fault or else he was not con-
V 3rsant with the facts, for the
teacher in question visited the |
previous teachers of this boy ano
in each and every instance they
had had trouble with that good |
(?) little boy, and the parents
had upheld the boy.
Complaining parents ought to
tumble to the fact that when the
child fails to get along with the
teachers, and nineteen out of
every twenty pupils in that room
do get along, the chances are
good that it is the child's fault,
and not the fault of the teacher.
School patrons have a right to
investigate school conditions. It
is more than a right, it is a duty.
