radical but gradual tt is a process.
IN many cases il IS probably to be the
work for q generation.
Evils mo- crushed Il childhood by

and a draw back to the world. Tfs
true, but sad. that just such people
are giving forth children to the world
who r a part of our schools. Havs
you ever noticed the stupidity, weak
ness, temperaments, traits, dress and
language. os summing it all up-ths
habits Of come of your pupils. This
is an index of home. 1t is an insie
of the home and patrons with whom
you have to deal. There you are
bloughtsface to face that you are. deal
ing with the world, which is not all
ways manhood. Here I unhesitating
iy, but with regret, declare that many
of our parents are not the best of PEG
pie. Many are foolish, weak, selfish,
narrow, and very many superstitious
which is the outcome of missing their
proper development. We can truly
agree on what another has stated:
Father gives his child and can't be
refused. Do strive to make him feel
that he has something in it for which
he is responsible. and lastly that You
are going to make it -a4success.
Show early, in your conduct with
that community's Children, a sincere
sympathetic intelligent interest in its
children. What parent can spuFn
this? Surely that bad unwise one Of
whom | spoke could not ever do sor
dastardly. For some things, even the
vilest, are forced to admire. This &
accomplished not only by uplifting
them in class work and .constraining
them from evil tendencies to right.
Another point is in our visits to see
our patrons, and theirs in return tc
our school. ITO be sure the last does
rot often occur, but would had we a
loyal cooperative patronage We
make profound Impressions by right
conduct and if we have not those hah-
its of right in us we can't even act it
in our visit. It will come to the sur
face and leak on us.
Concerning the parents visit. If
we don't have them actually, we do i'll
the person of their child have the par
ent as the silent listener to every
thing we do or say. Then is it not
veil that we be at our post all the
time, as we have this noted guest with
u5 so regularly, and he being the one
! from whom we so much desire sup
lport? I'll tell you fellow teachers that
our eyery day life counts,-it counts.
Another point which Professor
= Brogden always covers is being a vital
force, in touch with all the uplifting
activities of the community. Acting
by attending their church, Sunday
school, Joining in ranks as a real help
er and then inevitably the reacting
comes in which you reap support. In
deed4 one must have a great public
spirit to battle with the wide differ
ences that exist in all communities.
Lastly and above all what counts
more than noble, upright, straightfor-
ward chracter! 1t is the cha
acter of the teacher which brings a.;
the other stated products, Justice and
purity have the wonderful effect of
securing admiration almost from the
enemy. If we would be leaders of
people, we must follow what we teach.
Practically living what we suggest To
ran fellows, will accomplish much,
BE unspotted from the world that you
may help remove some of the worlds
blemishes. With the assurance that
you are right which is always given
with a bright and shining character,
you may not only be formidable in en-
listing many North CaroIinians into
better citizenship, but with greater
breadth you can accomplish whatever
that character leads you into.
