Fathers Should Visit Sons Schools.

The February Farm and Fireside says
in an editorial:
"'My boys don't seem TO be getting
along the way they ought to in school,
friend said to me the other day.
THAT is common complaint. Many
boys aren't getting along quite the way
they should. The teacher knows it, and
sometimes the boy knows it, though
usually they don't talk it over together
But the teacher alone can't stop it, the
parents alone can't stop it, and usually
the boy himself, upaided, can't stop it.
There is just one way TO stop it-and
that is by cooperation.
NO father is so busy that he can't
take an hour or two TO visit the school
You can find out more in an hour in the
schoolroom than YOU can find out in
day talking with your children or your
neighbors. or even with the teacher her.
