mistakes they are making. First
ihi tin* failure' to see that their
•eliUdren study at. home instead
of playing base ball, tennis, etc.
the entire afternoon and attend
party or picture show at night.
Seednd, is the failure to see that
their children attend school regu
larly instead* of giving them a
frivilous exEuse to hand in alter
ala absence of two or three days.
Third, is the failure to aid the
teachers in controli*ng their ehild
instead of humoring them
when they are corrected at the
school. Fourth; is the failure to
igijve more attention to report
cards at. the end ol each quarter.
These cards are sent to you by
the children* to advise you as to
the ‘Xact interest your .children
Sine tajki’ng in their respective
grades. Fifth, Neither shall you
ajllow your children to loiter on
tli streets after school hours.
For you to neglect to do your
art in the above five instances
gives you bo right whatever to
criticise the faculty and Board
•of Education when your child
fajlrf to pass or make creditable
