SCHOOL AND HOME (


the school only which is
going work out the miracle of redeeming us through
education We who think that way do not know that no
matter how much the school may do for it Will only be
part of our training in the real sense OF the word.
For instance more important than the school In ou1
education, important than anything else III the up
lifting process of mankind is the home Home is, OF
should be- the main educational agent There at hOme
where from the moment we come into this world we
should be properly brought up, like human beings ASK
any master of the subject of education Pedagogy and
he will confirm this statement but elementary is this
truth that minutes reflection by ourselves will con
vince us hat it is
However the theory is one thing and the hard, cold
facts another At schools churches etc. hear the
golden rule ably explained to us and readily agree
that TT SHOULD BE but when we come out OF schoo
or walk away from curcb in our race after the mighty
dollar shall promptly perceive that II - MI So we
have to look out ourselves in other words each one
must take care Of himself, don't you know?
We doubt very much il the lowest criminal could LOOK
ndifferentY to the welfare of bis offspring; no tlr
how bad we are we wish children to be well brought
m at least better than 1t is In human nature;
consciously unconscousy we belvee III beng true TO
the race We occasionally read OF angels whose parents
were professional criminals utter degenerates IhaC

dered by one Of those invisible threads that tie
us to the Creator.
Nevertheless as rule think duty to our child
ren fulfilled by sending them to school, by paying liberal
w. if necessary for their education. We imagine that
those specialists called teachers colegc professors and
the like do ali the work connected with the education
upon our particular business send our children TO
school to receive an education, while struggle for a
living or become mlilonailes. 49,
Of course our children, duty toward them, Will
never stand in way while fight for our daily bread
or acquire wealth and honors; for as we sad before
what we learn at Sunday school, other school IS
one thing and the exigences of life is another The form
er cannot be allowed to interfere with the latter 80
whatever our children may learn at school will be one
thing and whatever they see and feel and LEARN at
home in contact with having before them, as mirror
our behavior our regards toward fellowbengs, Will
he quite another thing Do you understand all this!
Don't think for moment that mean that we should
nav a little more PERSONAL attention to the welfare
of our children at home that is to say that we should
brother with them little more than we do, ana All
WE'LL in order that they may profit by the example, and
the lessons they receive school be duly compemented
by what they see at home
sermon but simply editorial gossip, and the foregoing
having been observed by we simply wish to ask you
if il also came to your attention And there is another
thing we also wish to ask YOU Have you ever had the
opportunity to the difference between children
brought ND in real homes and those that grew up almost
by themselves in imitation homes?
