Your Children, The
Teacher and Citizenship

This remark was made to me by
our able pastor, Mr.. Matheson.
If | openly condemn the teacher
Of my child / may as well take
that child out of school because
that child will no longer get ben
eft from that teacher. No
truer statement was ever uttered.
If a child comes to his parents
with a story that his teacher has
treated him unfairly and the par
ents openly condemn the teacher,
that child will do no more work in
the school except merely to escape
possible punishment from the
teacher and in many cases defies
the teacher expecting protection
from the parents. If the parents
have reason to believe that the
child has been miStreated ii would
be far better for the child and Tor
the school if a parent would 20
unprecedented to the teacher or to
the superintendent and discuss the
case with them. The teacher may
have unconsciously offended the
child. Every child is am individ-
ual problem and there is a bare
possibility of the child having
misunderstood the teacher.
We are getting lax in our train
ing of children TO respect authori-
ty. The child must be taught to
respect law and order. This may
not always be easily accomplished
when he sees the older people dis
obey laws. Do not be surprised
if the son patronizes the bootleg
ger, if the father has in the cellar

THE VILLAGE WEEKLY

AT last the Laundering carrier
bore
The village paper to our door.
Lo! broadening outward as we
read
To warmer zones tn horizon
spread;
In panoramic length unrolled
We saw the marvels that it told.
Welcome to us its week old news,
It's corner for the rustic Muse,
Its monthly gauge of snow and
rain,
Its record mingling in a breath
The wedding-knell and dirge of
death
Jest, anecdote and love lorn tale !;
The latest culprit sent to jail;
lis hue and cry of stolen and lost,
It's vendue sales and goods at cost,
And traffic calling loud for gain.
We felt the stir of hall and street.
The pulse of life that round us
beat;
The chill embargo Of the snow
Was melted in the genial glow;
Wide swung again our ice-locked
door,
And all the world was ours once
more.
