NEW YEAR THOUGHTS
ABOUT SCHOOLS
~ WILLIAM HOLMES DAVIS,
Principal DanvilIe school, Dan.

There Fan be no better New Year
resolution for a father to make than
that he will give more time and thought
10 the training of his boy.
Most parents know about the physical
diseases that are contagious but prac-
tically nothing about the mental diseases
that are contagious. The former are no
more destructive to the body than the
latter are TO the mind Fathers should
not expose their boys to mental diseases.
Thousands OF fathers send their boys
to schools because they have never
visited these schools. There If no school
that is best for every type OF boy. Il
takes n personal visit to become an In
,elligent Judge az to the best school for
any Individual.
Because the number OF discriminating
PARENTS is increasing every year the
new year must he a better one for the
best private schools and the best public
schools. All the good schools d, not
belong TO either class.
The greatest thing about n teacher of
adolescent boys is personality. The
teacher In the public high school gets
his position because he stands next on n
list OF those h stood some oxamina-
tons that had nothing TO do with per-
sonality.
A boy may learn TO get on with the
masses by attending n public school, but
over 50 per cent. of the masses fail in
life. The Influences OF the masses are
the influences that fail.
