VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
A Parent Organization i'm
Every Community.

Cooperation is the slogan of the
day, and the results where it is
practiced justify it. Methods that
have been proved by big Business
are eventually adopted by every class
and every successful enterprise
everywhere 1t is time all our
schools, patrons and taxpayers, be-
gin cooperating as they do in the
better schools of the country.
1t would be Interesting to know
just how many friendly visits each
patron has made to the school he is
a patron of, during last session. In
the school where | teach, we have
not had a single intentional caller
in the class rOOms-we have no
parent teacher organization. The
mothers and fathers slave and stint
themselves and the smaller children,
to provide the material things neces-
sary to a modern education, but
deny the moral support which is
vastly more necessary.
Farmers, Particularly, are always
too busy CD to spend a day, or
even a halliday, during the session,
in the school with their children
observing, keeping abreast of the
times in child training. But, if you
were put on course in Animal
Husbandry in the community, at the
cOunty's expense, most farmers
would not miss a lecture; and, fur
thermore, would take time to inform
themselves, and then to discuss and
to argue points.
A farmer has no more important
crop than his children-Surely our
children are more important than our
animals.
If any of the teachers in Rankin
can tell us of communities where
the mothers and fathers do visit the
schools several times each session l
hope they will do SO through The
Brandon News that others may be
inspired to do likewise. Visiting our
schools will open parents eyes to
qualities of mind and traits of char
acter in their own children that they
are not aware of, and will make them
more capable of Judging the qualities
of the teachers employed to teach
their children. A cooperative spirit
should be proved.
