Newton has a newspaper, too-a good one--The Times. Also a very good printing plant. The paper is edited by J. B. Murray, with w. W. Moore. a non-active partner. The paper is non-partisan to great de- gree, and is popular with the people.

hear their parents asking about their lessons, or
inquire about their courses, or the progress
which they are making. Hence, they conclude
that the school is something entirely divorced
from the home, an institution, as it were, in
which they are confined for certain period OF
the day under the direction of teacher.
Too few of them know that the school merely
is carrying out function of the home, which
the parents cannot perform because they lack
time and training to do it successfully. They do
not know that the father and mother are respon-
sible for their education, and that they have
delegated this important business to the teacher
and to the school system.
If their parents understood this relationship
and acted accordingly, the children would assume
different attitude toward the school system.
They would see that school and home are related.
That one supplements the other, and that both
are working for a common end-the development
of good citizens.
Many child would take added interest in its
studies if it knew that its parents visited the
school, conferred with the teacher, and cooper
ated with the pupil in attaining its schooling.
And many a parent, now indifferent and
apathetic toward his childs education would look
upon the process of its schooling in a different
light, as a duty which he cannot shirk entirely
and ignore with impunity.

The Home and the School

One of the main purposes Of School Week,
Dec. to II, is to induce the parents to visit the
schools so they may see how their children are
being educated. The teachers have no Interior
motive in inviting the parents to the school room.
All they want is the presence of the fathers
and mothers as visitors. The educators believe
that if the parents a school in operation many
of their criticisms of the system will vanish and
be supplanted with accurate knowledge of con-
ditiOns.
The visit of parents will encourage the teach
ers, as well as prove beneficial to the children
themselves. Many boys and girls seem to thin!,
that their parents do not care whether they pass
fail in their studies.
They base this notion on apparent lack of
parental interest in school affairs. They seldom

get this mixture was to make It at

can possibly tell you have darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or

through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
