:;; t. i . t . ' ;
. Some people... blame the public
schools tor not accomplishing more
fa tbe intelligent training of children,
' vben the fault , lies not with the
cbools primarily but with the people
'themselves. Teachers ' can' do little
without co-operation of the fathers
.and mothers. Their responsibility Is
mutual and their best service lies only
through complete harmony of effort.
' In the earlest stageg ;. of society
schools were not needed, , for each
family was sufficient for its own need.
"What teaching was dope ocourred in
the privacy of the home.
' Then schools came Into being. So
ciety was learning tbe advantages of
Cooperative effort.
The modern public school, complex
and highly organized for efficient ser--vlce,
Is the climax of this evolution-.
xr process.- It is so'clety's latest con
ception of effectiveness in education.
But tbe school cannot succeed on-
less the home continues to acknowl
edge its close relationship and its
complete responsibility In the under--taking.
A school merely supplements
tbe influence of the home; it is in no
,enae a substitute for it.
The best organized and highest de
veloped school becomes Impotent the
Moment the homes, from which its
pupils are recruited, withdraw their
support. The flneBt teacher in the
land is powerless to counteract the
subtle power of an indifferent or ob
structive parent.
American fathers and mothers would
Ao well to give this matter serious
thought. Many, are neglecting to
give their schools this kind of co-operation.
It is not sufficient for men
to pay their school taxes and furnish
money for Bchool clothes and books;
,jor have the mothers performed their
full duty when they keep clothes
wended and faceg clean. Parental re
sponsibility goes much deeper than
that. ' " : " ' ;:
It is often' claimed that the schools

in these days are failing to teach dis
cipline. Juvenile courts are busy con
sidering the cases of boys and girls
whose chief fault lies in their con
tempt of authority. In other words,
they have not learned obedience, are
strangers to real discipline.
. But responsibility for this situation
which has become most serious in
the large cities of the land rests not
upon the schools but upon the homes.
A child who ig not compelled to bow
to parental authority cannot tf ten be
made to acknowledge the authority of
a teacher. -
; At most the time spent In a school
room' each day is brief as compared to
that spent at home.. Almost of neces
sity a parent's opportunity of influenc
ing the child is greater and more con
tinuous than that of the teacher.
Here, then, is a way by which the
homes of America may add materially
to the efficiency of the American pub
lic school. The chance to help the
reform goes home to every household.
Even the childless family cannot whol
ly escape the responsibility. The next
time one Is inclined to crlticse the
public school,-let biro stop and con
sider whether he himself Is doing Mb
utmost to co-operate, ; . ' ; '.
; But the keenest and. deepest disap
pointment , of , alj Is that of. the old
motheij who simply could not, believe
her "boys" were guilty, of the black
crimes charged against them, but who
now knows they were.
. The mayor of Indianapolis is really
doing more in his .restricted Lway, to
reduce the "high cost, of living" .than
all tbe anti-trust howlers in or out of
congress: He Is cutting down tne peo
pies grocery ibllls. , ,: r :, i;
Now and then the news columns
And a little space from Los Angeles,
Washington and other throbbing news
centers to Inform an eager public that
the hleh links at Hunnewell, Kas.,' are
still going on in the same old way.
The criticism of La Follette for IiIh
announced purpose to make a westonv
speaking tour while congress is in
session does not come from the sen
ate. The members of that body en
dorse it heartily. ,
Mr. Taft Is another of those patrl
ots who would rather be right than be
president, and it begins to look as
though he thought the combination
was a difficult and doubtful one.
Arnold Bennett says he Is going to
tell the truth about Chicago In' his
forthcoming book. If he does he will
never be able to get it through the
malls. ' '
( The condemnation of the McNam
' aras by organized labor Is so vigorous
1 and sweeping that even the politicians
' can afford to stand up and denounce
them.

This Ib a progressive age, not only
In finance and science but In the phy
sical welfare of the human body. We
come to realize more as time passes
that in order to keep the mind up to
fuH efficiency the physical must not
be neglected; I do not need to tell you
that in order to properly assimilate
the food taken Into the body that the
teeth and mouth plays a very lriiport
ant part and should be kept in the best
possible condition both from sanitary
and mechanical standpoints. ,
