joys the goodwill and confidence OF
every individual, in the community.
TITS Is no reflection on him because
ifany person has any principles and
sands for them he is bound to an
tagonize someone who disagrees
with him. The same lis true of the
School and those in charge. The
thing that pleases one displeased an
*other Responsibility for the sue
n cess OF school rests about equally
ION the school, its teachers and board
kson one side and the parents and pub
3 lie in general ON the other. Where
4 there Is strife and political wire
pulling concerning school matters
outside of school 1t is useless to ex-
pect an efficient school. Some com
munities are almost always in this
condition and wonder why their
schools are not better. III parents
are hostile in their attitude at home
the same spirit is often shown by
their students in their school work
The result is failure and further dis
appointment.
49, School is almost home for the stu
dent for several hours each day. we
are always pleased to have parents
visit us because 1t inspires both stu
dent and teacher. Besides it is the
only right way to find out what is
actually going on at school. II
each parent would have friendly
serious talk with his children be-
fore they start school it would help
much In starting the year right
Report cards will be issued each six
weeks and do much to keep the par
s~snt Informed of the students pro-
gress. If the student realizes that
good scholarship and department
are expected at home he will in most
ainstances etrive to please his par
ents. If he expects punishment at
home when he receives it in school
he will seldom need it in either
place. The old fashioned father who
followed this plan reared son who
was later able to take his place In
the world and be man of standing.
Too many of our students have too
little work to do outside of school
hours. Too many Of our girls are
more concerned in style and dress
than they are with their school
work. They set a bad example to
the poor girl and make her feel
sighted, One parent tries to keep
up with another and this starts a
rivalry TO see which can make the
4 most show School authorities
everywhere are trying to discourage
lis but it is hard to accomplish
sluch unless parents become inter
Posted and take action.
Things That Interfere With School
Work
~ Perhaps the first of these is too
little home ~~tudy Almost every
high school student aA very many
grade students need it iii ora ito
do passing work. This work should
be regularly and Systematically
done Irregular hours and school
night entertainment break up the
work of many students as well as to
help undermine their health. Bad
habits, especially the smoking Of
cigarettes, help to bring about fai-
lure and end the school careers OF
many boys. Dragged and stunted
nervous systems are poor founda.
tons to build successful manhood.
Poor health seems too common and
interferes with the success of many
students. If the students health Is
too poor it is better to sacrifice ed
ucation for time until 1T Is re-
gained. 1t is said that the greatest
general in the world is general in
difference. We know that an in.
different feeling will accomplish
little anywhere. We want each stu
dent to realize that whether he re.
ceives an education or not is a very
important matter to him personally.
Please help us to do this by calling
his attention to it at home.
Scholarship
Too many students are satisfied
IL they succeed in getting bare
passing grade of seventy-five per.
cent. They barely pass from grade
to grade each year. These students
grow up to be the people who bare
" get along in the world and say
that they never had fair chance
There is very close relationship
between success in school and sue
cess in after life. Observations have
been made and records kept which
show that almost all of our success
