PUBLIC SCHOOL
An Inspection of oar schools from
Urn to time, lends ae to repent a re
mark made through the city preas
soma time alnoe.' Parent a oould great
ly aeist tho teachers and tneoegeuient
of the school by ascertaining tbe eub
jecU being studied by tbe cbild In tbe
eeveral breeches, and occnaictially
propoaoding to tbe child, questions
adapted to his school work. One of
tho most serious and alarming featnree
of school work bare ai well as else
where le tbe remarkable lack of ser
loaenese on tbe part ol tbe child, re
garding hie etodiee and hie progreii In
school. Teachers oan and ought to do
mnob bat they can not oonoteraot all
the inftaunoc outside tbe school that
tend to make the ebltd Indifferent to
achievement, and tboroogbneea la ble
work. Tbe parent can greatly aulat
In tbls Let the atmosphere o home
be such that the boy or girl will see
that there la more In this school work
tbaa merely paatlng away the time.
Tba eblld In eobool Is a citizen except
that ha baa not the right of franchise,
and ia snbjeot to tbe control of parent
or guardian. The cbild in school has
a bnsloeaa, at present not product! re.
It is true, Jost as truly as any eltisen
eoodaota a business. This business
of tbe child Is to prosecute his studies
at eobool with that same assiduity and
earnestness which is need by tlte bead
of a household.
It Is evident that a goodly number
of children In the upper grades snd In
the high school are not wurklng to
tbelr fullest capacity, and aa a result.
the general standard of the school Is
materially retarded. And why are
these children not working to their
fullest capacity r It Is because they
are wiser than their ppas and mam
mas and teachers, and therefore at
tend to their sohool duties differently
or indifferently, as they choose. It is
because they are spending their spare
time In a wasteful manner an1 not
even In beneflolal .play or sports.
They are seen In alarmingly large
numbers oo the streets long after dark.
Thos, they are permitted to counter
act tho Influence and work of tbe
sohool. We affirm that the niiud of
a child in tbe upper grades and high
sohool sbonld be on his eobool work,
and not on the things he expects to do
In his play or leisure hours. The
school work Is tba child's ohief busi
ness. The play is sn accessory, neoet.
aary It Is true to the ohtld's symet
rlcal development, but the sohool
duties are bis chief business every
sohool day of tbe school year. If the
oblld does not or oaonot maks school
work his chief business and play , an
accessory, It Is tbe duty of the parent
to asiist the child In this, by Insistiog
that tho ohlld attend to bis school
business, no matter how distaateful it
may be to him. Tba parent who (ails
to do tbls admits that the cbild is be
yond control, wa nave been aston
Isbed within the pase few weeks, when
asking parents to assist as In breaking
up certain cases of truancy, to hear
them oonfeis to sn Inability to oontrol
children under fourteen years of sge,
snd that they could not compel tba
ohlld to attend school If said oblld
chose not to do so it is certainly a
novel condition tn which the child
dictates to the parent what ha will or
will not do. ' Sohool . Is rot an easy
place where children go solely for the
purpose of pasttime and play it es
tate for a purpose vastly greater than
this. It is a place for work, where tbe
state prepares children for intelligent
oltizansh'p, so that in 1 be years to
coma they may strengthen and pre
serve tbe nation. The spirit of die
content that animates the small boy
to rssiet authority and do tbe things
wbioh tba e'ate aays be must not do,
Is tba same spirit that threw the
bombs -: at Haymsrket in Chicago
This system of school could do woik
vastly mora effective, II tba parents
wonld i see that children intensify
effort and attention u on the school
duties within certain preicribed hours
because doing so, la theft chief busi
neas. Tbe school,' too, should teach
tba oblld l work bard If It fails to
do this It fails to teach him one of the
best lessons It bas for him. Those In
school who do work bard famish dally
evidence that the parent rulrs the
eblld and not tbe reverse. These are
not tba children who ara rude and
load on tbe streets, who ron about
long alter dark and wbo often Insnlt
respectable paseereby; they are the
children of pa rente wbo know bow to
control tbs cbild.
Tbe other da, wa summoned two or
throe small boys to tbe office. Tbey
brazenly eoofeeeed to oslog obsoeos,
fifth, laagaag, and profanity in the '
bearing of little sirle. How ara wa to
account for tba alarming condition?
It ia not entirely tbe fault of tba boys,
snd certainly the school esonot be
held entirely responsible. Somewhere
sometime, eomehow these boys ft
wiser than tbelr parents and showed
them that it Is proper to do tbose
thiogs which later make them hood
lame, renegades
society.
Recently a high' eobool boy when
called to the otfloe ocnteaeed himself
to be addicted to tbe use of tobacco,
an4 sta'ed that be believed that there
were at least one hundred boys In the
public school, who were partially or
habitually addicted to tbe same habit.
Tbls is contrary to the regulations of
tbe city eobool board and In direct op
position to tba commonest kind of
common aense. And why do parenta
tolerate this even after tbe facta are
wall known? The answer has already
been stated. These children have
grown wieer than tbe pareote and have
taught tbem a now social system in
ahich the parent is subservient to be
child.
