Suggestions to Parents.
In behalf of the teachers of
county, I wish to make some sug-
gestions to parents who are
rons of schools. I' have been a
teacher long enough to know
something of how important a
part, fathers and mothers play in
the education of their children,
and how,-through ignorance
otherwise, they are sometimes a
serious hindrance to the work of
the teacher.
It is a well known fact that a
child thinks there is nobody like
pupa and mama, that what they
say and do is all right, that they
know more than anybody else. 1
tlnnk any parent will readily ac-
cede to this proposition, There-
fore, how imperative his duty
retrain from discussing the
ners and methods of the teacher
in the presence of the child,
\\ henever you speak one word
disparagingly of your teacher in
your child’s hearing, you cripple
that teacher’s power to do your
child good. Better keep your
child at home than send him to a
teacher in whom he has no confi-
deuce,—better for the child, bet-
ter for the teacher. If you
displeased with your teacher in
any way, either go to him or say
nothing about, it at all. Teachers
are fallible beings, with all the
proclivities common to man. Do
.not expect to find one perfect,
And instead of continually speak-
ing of your teacher’s imperfeo-
tions, suppose you turn 3 r our eyes
inward and give your own lift a
critical examination. See if this
does Dot make you morn charita-
hie.
And further, you ought
to encourage nor allow your child
to speak in a criticising manner,
of his teachei. Ibis is almost as i
laid as doing it yourself, for by
allowing it done by your child,
you, in a sense, sanction what he
says and thereby make it your
own criticism.
It is the duty of parents to ae-
quaint their teacher with the
peculiarities of their children.
He may find them out for himself
after a time, but you can aid him
very materially in Ins work by
this information at the beginning
of school.
If your child lias any physical
weaknesses likely to interfere with

his work in school, let your
know of them at once
of trying to conceal them, it
very much to the teacher’s
vantage t<> know as much as
sible of the children he has
teach, and it is your duty to
form him. This will many
save him much sad regret and
child a great deal of mortification,
You ought to visit the school
often. It encourages the
and the pupils, because it is a
manifestation of interest in
work. It helps you, because you
see for yourselves not only what is i
being done, but, how it is being
done, How a man or woman can
send a child to school year after
year without visiting that school
to see some of its workings, is a
strange thing to me. If von
to employ a hostler to train your
horse for the race track, would
you not see to it that he did his
work well? How then can you
place the destiny of your child in
the hands of a man or woman
about whom you know so little?
If you are so careful of the tram-
ing of your horse, hew much more
ought you to be careful when it
comes to the training of an lin-
mortal soul,
Acquaint yourselves with your
child’s daily work and help him
at home in the preparation of this
work. If you fail to do this, do
not complain if his advancement
is slow,
Invite your teacher f< your
homes and make him feel that he
is a part of your family while
your teacher. Do not expect him
to visit your homes and feel this
way unless you extend to him the
courtesy and hospitality he has a
right to expect, Home teachers
are so constituted that they can-
not intrude themselves where they
seemingly are not welcomed.
Hoping that these suggestions
will betaken in tin* spirit given,
