The one place for boys in the even
ing is in their homes. AS one walks
through the streets in the evening
one often notices gatherings of boys
on school age indulging in bolster
GUS fun and soaking up into them
selves as much of the evils of life as
to stunt their moral growth for ever
afterward But that is not all
These same boys come into our
schools and spread the evils of the
street through the school. Now, to
cure this evil, we can not and will
not close the school doors to these
boys, but cannot the street be closed
to them7 There is the root of IL all.
Let every parent use his Godgiven
authority over his children to the
extent of keeping his boys at home
during the evenings. This is a vital
question. II directly or indirectly
affects every home that contains
school children In this village. 1t
affects the whole village now and
for all time to come Surely, public
sentiment must bestlrred to the act
ing point. Let US. parents and
guardians, one and all, bethlnk our
selves Of these things.
In order TO maintain the best of
discipline in school, the parent
must cooperate strongly With the
teacher. The teacher is in the pub
lie atmosphereand her name is much
on the lips Of the people In some
homes the parents speak OF her with
the highest esteem In others. 1T is
to be regretted, her name is treated
lightly, if not Extensively The par
ent must be blamed if he fail to de-
mand in the home the proper respect
for the teacher of his children.
Come what will, there is but one
thing for the parent to do for his
child. The more he can teach him to
respect his teacher, the greater pow
er the teacher will have with him.
for good in the school-room. The
nerson who Willfully comes between
the child and his teacher, and sets
the child against the teacher by any
method. is not far different from a
character that deliberately sets a
husband against his wife. Children
very often resist education enough
without this sort Of interference.
The union between the parent and
teacher should be so perfect that the
one supplements the other in every
laudable effort for the good of the
child.
