PARENTS AND THE SCHOOLS

Parents do quite a bit of dream
ing ON behalf of their children as
the school doors open again. They
can see that these schools open such
wide doors of opportunity, and they
ask anxiously if their children will
recognize these opportunities when
they see them, and be able to grasp
them?
Education is like a field of abund-
ant fertility, where a good gardener
will be able to raise luscious vege-
tables. But others who are less in
dustries may not get very much but
weeds.
The attitude of the school children
is affected very much by the feeling
of their parents. If a child finds
it hard to learn his lessons, he is
apt to blame anyone but himself. He
thinks the lesson was too hard, or
perhaps the teacher has become
down on him., and is not so lem
tent on him as on other pupils. Chill
dren come home with these COM
plants, and some parents accept
them at their face value. If enoour-
aged to feel that these complaints
were justified, the pupil is apt to feel
that everything is against him in the
school and that it is no use for him
to try. Such a pupil will probably
fall behind in his class and is likely |
to become troublesome and unruly. |
A practical thing in such a situa-
tiOn is for the parent to seek an in
terview with the teacher and try to
find where the trouble lies. The
difficulty may be that the child has
too many outside interests and is
trying to do too much outside his
school studies. Such childs whole
future may be changed if Father
will give that boy talking to and
tell him that his business in life at
present is to learn his lessons.
oOhe chliuIeh VI course are hat
urally slow Of comprehension. They
are observant and capable of good
work, but it comes hard to them to
grasp ideas from the printed page.
The teacher in such a case will no
doubt be willing to help the child
with special explanations, which will |
carry the young learner over a hard
place and help him or her to recover
the lost ground.

Milford, Friday. September %, 1888
LYING DOWN ON THE GOVERN
MENT

President Roosevelt issued a few
days ago an appeal to the nation to
come forward with gifts to relieve
the unemployed. He criticized To-
calities which run to the govern
ment for aid without doing their
own share of relief work.
Since Mr.. Roosevelt became Pres
ident the Federal Government has
acted with great generosity to help
the destitute. If the government
could previously have been criti-
cized for lack of such generosity,
there is no ground for such criticism
now. The aid which the government
is extending has been a great relief
to many hard pressed localities.
But there is a strong tendency in
human nature when it obtains as
sistance from outside sources, to
relax its own efforts. We must re-
lieve the destitute and We cannot
allow people to go hungry. Yet
some people are so constituted that
if they obtain hand-out from char
ity, they relax their own efforts to
find work and earn money.
1t is much the same with COM
munities. There are many cities
where the officials could raise all
necessary funds for relief if they
had to. But it always comes hard
to tax the people, and if they think
they can obtain a substantial appro-
priation from the federal govern
ment, many of them let up on the
home effort to obtain money, and
they lay heavy burden off on Uncle
Sam. They seem to think the old
gentleman's pocket has no bottom.
The resources of private charity |
are by no means exhausted. When |
people are spending so much money |
to attend ball games, horse races,
play golf, and run their automobiles,
many of them will be able to give
literally to charity. The philan-
tropic societies should be generous
ly supported. They usually spend
relief money in the most efficient |
ways. The people must care for |
their own needs so far as they can,
and look to the federal government
only as a last resort.
