School Government.
To What Extent Should a Tkach}
ee Be,Jnfluknced-bt> Patrons i
“ in the Government of-
.... . -the Schools ? >,
The subject under consideration i*
veiwed from different standpoints-by
patrons and some teachers. I, how
ever, am compelled by a limited ex
perience to draw from but one. In
this experience, I have never been
favored (?) nor has ray profession
been elevated (?) by indifferent pa
tron-school boses, consequently, the
subject with me, , is almost wholly
one-sided..
But casting off limited experience,
all arbitrary terms, and letting our
inferences be from a source of rea
son, we will first consider a few
points of purpose and aim m school
government. There are two • pur
poses in school government of para
mount importance.
1st. The instituting ot certain
rules to secure system, that our dailv
work may move on easily, quietly;
pleasantly—without, friction, $nd frpe
from interruption; that, our pupils
may center their attention and
thoughts upon the subject under dis
cussion, thus forming of their minds
broad avenues or open receptacles
for the assimilation of the knowledge
and power diffused.'
2nd. The building of character,—
the chief end of all true government.
Early teach the child to observe and
re aid the rights of others, show to
it by living examples (precepts not
sufficient) what element should pre
dominate m the direction of our im
pulses and guidance of our thoughts,
the love of right in themselves, and
of the rights, privileges and welfare
of others. This is the inroad tdjjure-
ness of character,—the pathway to
p -rfection—?6 attained by man.
Where, in what manner and to
what extent should the patron’s in
fluence ;manifest itself in obtaining
these purposes?
As to the former, it is immediate,
and cultures incidentally. It leads
from the rountines of the day to
right doing unconsciously. And I
propose as a criterion for best seedi
ng this purpose that the patron’s in
fluence be co-operative and advisory.
First, the teachea should be one of
model method. Then tbe patron
may throw forward his co-operative
strength, perfecting the teacher’s ef
fort, directing Ins child to conformity,
inspiring the child’s confidence in
teacher, and moulding in the child
this pureness of character. If the
teacher be inexperienced the patron
finding.' Ther4is a great mistake
prevalent among patrons of rural
districts that is petty contentions and
objections to teachers. The rule, ‘If
\ f. 7
you can say no good, speak no evil,’
is golden and should be more observ
ed in regards *o yonr teacher than
any N otber. I (you dislike your teach
er do not persuade your child to dis
like him from a personal objection
Further, I am not an admirer of one-
man school-bossing regardless of the
rights and authority of teacher or
other patrons. 1 am anaefied, to oo-
bpeiftti ve t$ n lifting inffrtenqe,
but riot bossing; 4bfluenu6, destitute
of purpose, It tjre teacher bp pno
without method-, or energy • patrons
should act as occasion demands; first
ascertaining facte; Entertain no cir
nutating rumors. .
,' The latter purpose in school gov
ernment is achieved only through
long and constant efforts ou the part
of both patron and teacher. It is
field unlimited for: child-culture by
patron. It is of no less 'dimensions
for teacher. Difference in the main
is that tbe patron should begin at tl<e
cradle and continue till the child
passes from under his guardianship.
While the teacher’s care is not so
long it should endure for all’ time.
Temptation shoal'd, not weaken of
time obliterate the effects Of this
government, it is. attained through
this co operative influence. Model
your home if you would have .a mod
el school. No ipatter i^pw hajd th^
teacher may tabor to inculcate gpod
and lasting principle if it is not -4ppi
tained by the child’s father and moth I
er, if their personality intrudes be
tween the child and teacher, his ef
forts are almost wholly ineffective. 1
On the other band, patrpn and
teacher may supplement and strength
en each other, .unite their forces upori
the definite object, the child, nn<j
lake it slowly but surely to the’obi
jective point of purpose. By; co-opt
u-atiye strength andunity of- actio it l
they may move on. tinrleterred by re-
pellant forces, thus making all things
in school government possible; The
true patron will/aid io this; the in
different one will discourage.
Lastly, it is a poor teacher,. who,
after having had manifold advantages
in Methods, .Waymarks and'probably
Normal training and experience, can
not better govern a school than a
man in his farm studying farming,
tH*a man in his. offiee studying' the
business world. • la G. .Graham..
