First-class Job Work executed is oflice. at 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..
