A crusade is being made against the
omni-prssent evil of tardiLess. There is
really little or no reason for boys and
girls to be tardy in the Custer schools.
Owing to the standard time table, school
commences here an hour later than it
does in the eastern part of the state. In
other words, in terms of our time, the
schools there open at eight o'clock and
close at three; yet there are no more
cases of tardiness there than here. There
is little or no difference in sun time, and
therefore we have practically an hour
longer to prepare for school each morn
ing than they do. Can any one give q
good reason for habitual tardinsss? True
an occasional case is pardonable, and
even necessary. but that by no means
sanctions such an extent of tsrdiness as
we have had the past few days. Tardi-
ness is slovenly habit. 1t is poor ad.
vertisement for any person, pupil. teach
er, business man or employe. 1t never
helps any thing or any body, but it often
retards and irritates many others, who
must be the victims of the offenders de-
ficiency. 1t is useless, and therefore a
nuisance.

What shall we teach? What shall We
create for an ideal and for what ends
shall education be?
1t 10 hard, and fortunately so, to get
away from the old, worn, stereotyped
phrase. "Teach character" 1t is hard
to say it in better way. In fact We
can not afford to get away from that old
idea. We shall not teach arithmetic
merely for the sake of rules and answers,
but for brain development, and to en-
able the youth to help the world along.
We shall not teach geography merely to
indicate to the pupil where is Madagas-
car and the Isle of Wight, but to give
him an insight into the modes, customs,
trends, and the very civilization of the
peoples whom he has never seen and
probably can never see. Shall language
be taught merely to enable him to be a
master of bis chief means ofcommunica-
ton? No. 1t must inspire him to use
the language for more than mere talk
ing and writing. He must use his lam
guage to procreate the beautiful, to raise
mankind little. We shall teach, then,
not the thing so much as the possibili-
ties and the application of the thing.
Text books are very often the greatest
menace to good school. Very many
of the teachers of South Dakota could be
of more value to the lives of their pupils
if text books were not allowed in the
class. Parents and teachers should re-
member that the thing to teach is not
books, but life itself.
