Oscar I. Carson of Ohio sad, IN sub
stance: Here our fathers declared their
independence. And here we declare our
independence, where jeans rub against
broadcloth with the probability that
Jeans VIII win. The school STANDS on
par with the home ana the church. We
are not surprised that parents are Jeal-
Gus Of teachers who can secure obedl-
ence better than they. Neither home,
school nor church has reached perfec-
ton. Some are not IN sympathy with
the common schools because they are
not IN sympathy with the common peo-
pie. Unless boys and girls wake up to
the Importance OF home study they Will
be outGlstanced IN the race. The Old
liberty bell gave out Its last note ~
years ago. but we can hear its echo in
every school bell IN this country.
Next Mr.. Rawson talked OF Industrial
Education. A closer relationship be
tween teaCHef anu LAY I4dil Is Heeueu.
Time was when the home gave the child
al the training he ever received. The
home Is not always capable OF furnish
ing all that is needed, on account OF pow
erty, ignorance OF vice. For time tins
was, IN measure, turned over to the
church. Now 1t IS turned over to lhe
school. The old Institution OF appren-
tlceshlp is gone. SIDE by side with NE
High school must grow up the industrial
school, now IN It's infancy. All classes
say to the teacher Here's a new JOB
Tor you. lou are paid for tins. L
have other work to DO. Moral and In
dustflal educational problems can not De
solved by the school alone. 1t mus. De
the result of team work. The pest
player who viii not cooperate with 9th.
erS is worthless Parent, teacher and
superintendent must line up together.
Sclence has turned on the hight, but the
verltles OF feHglon exist now as ever
Children are democrats and requlra

esty and courtesy ought to be automa-
TIC. II the nome Goes not sustain tnls,
progress Will be SLOW. Team play De-
tween teacher and nome is a necessity.
