The Bellows Falls Times suggests the
following resolutions to parents with
children in school:
Il will visit the schools attended by my
children at least once every term.
Il will make the acquaintance of the
several teachers and will enquire after
the progress of my children are making,
giving praise where it seems deserved and
not Sparing criticism when warranted.
In the home | will give at least as
much attention to my daughters studies
as ! do to the designing of her gown for
the next dance. ~. "f.t4At
Il will attend town meeting and en-
deavor to get informed on what the school
board are doing with the money taken
from me by due process of law and la
beled school tax
From now | will endeavOr to be a real
parent in the home and a real citizen in
the community"
There is a natural but dangerous ten
dency on the part of latter day parents to
welcome the beginning of school days for
the reason that it means they will get
the children off their hands" However
natural that feeling may be, it does not
with the best American and New
England ideals.
The average parent today is too apt to
''let George do it" when it comes to the
school life of his children. They are fast
enough to criticize the teacher when their
darlings come under discipline. They
kick hard enough when they have to pay
the bills for the schools. If the children
are not promoted as fast as they think
they should be. some parents don't hest
tate to allege favoritiSm and other things.
What they do not do is to find out what
the children are studying, how much home
study is necessary and then take steps
to see that it is done.
Also, they very seldom visit the school
or confer with the teacher, so the latter,
or her supervisor, has no effective con-
tact with the parents, neither are they
able to get the viewpoint of the parent,
who, of course, pays the salaries and in
the end is responsible for the conduct of
the school system.
The parent-teacher organizations are
designed to remedy this condition in some
degree, but they can never take the place
of the parent himself and his actual CON
tact with the teacher.
The Herald cOmmends the foregoing
resolutions for the earnest consideration
of the average parent.

The chief enemy of Ireland, after all,
is Ireland. Ireland can get from Great
Britain virtually what it wants, if it
can only agree as to what it wants. 1t
seems as far from agreement as ever.
Ulster threatens civil war if settle
ment with Sim Fem Ireland leads to
any diminution of the rights and privi-
leges of the newly established parlia-
mentary government in Ulster. Sim
Fem Ireland threatens war with Great
Britain if its terms are not met in the
present negotiations. and that would
mean civil war in Ireland.
There ought to have been two islands,
and two Irelands. As matters stand,
there are two Irelands spiritually, but
one geographically and economically.
Though they were cut in two by a cata-
clysm of nature or the building of a great
wall or canal, each would remain indus
trially and commercially incomplete
without the other. Ulster, the great CEN
ter of business and industry, needs the
materials and markets of South Ireland.
South Ireland needs Ulster, it's business
capital. Yet the two are still pulling
apart, at a time when, more thar ever
before in history, the situation demands
their pulling together.
How can the Irish problems be solved
until Irishmen learn compromise and
tolerance, for mutual benefit if not from
n spirit of fraternalism?

BREW AT THE CONFERENCE.

Foreign delegates to the disarmament
conference will not be interfered with if
they bring their favorite brew with them.
This is the statement of the treasury de
partment. Diplomatic immunity" is
the reason ascribed for the ruling.
1t is unlikely that any of the delega-
ton will come heavily laden with the
fruit of the grapes, strong liquors or
home brew, and, even if they do, they
will be expected as a matter of courtesy
to a dry nation to confine its distribution
to their own parties. Nor is there any
danger that the disarmament negotia-
tons will be viewed through a glass,
darkly."
Nationals who are in the habit of con-
Stunning small portions of liquor with
their meals may avail themselves of
diplomatic immunity" to take their Gus
tomary portion, but that is all. And
neither courtesy nor common sense
would indicate any interference with
their customs.
