PAKE NTS' RELATIONS TO TIIE
SCHOOL.
Thoughtful pnrents do not need that this
subject should be discussed, to convince
them that they, necessarily stand in inti
mate relation to the school, rind despite
their liMnflei'ence to its interests must be
held responsible for a large share of the
good or evil accomplished. Yet there Is a
large majority of well-meaning parents,
Vf ho in their ceaseless round of other duties,
scarce give a passing thought to the duties
devolving upon them a patrons of tlie
school, nor once consider that there is any
thing left for them to do alter they have
sent their children to school. To this class
we beg leave to call attention to the im
portant fact that the best facilities for the
education ot your child may be within
reach, and yet yon may effectually defeat
the efforts of the most eminently qualified
teacher by failing to co-operate with him
to advance the interests of the school.
This you may do by a total indifference, or
by an unwise opposition, founded upon in
formation that lall3 far short of being a
correct statement, being derived, as it al
wn3"s is1n such cases, from heads that are
too immature in judgment to nssnuie the
responsible positions of judging the acts of
their seniors, and incapable of compre
hending the laws of cause and effect, as ap
plied to their moral and intellectual train
ing: The little actions, the small words and
seemingly insignificant deeds, compose the
bulk cf our existence,- and' must be taken
as the measure of our usefulness in what
ever stations vre are fitted to adorn. Such
especially is the case with parents in rela
tiou to the school a single' word- or act
may go far toward securing or destroying
harmony between parent, pupil and teach
er. Unconsciously they are sowing the
seeds of good or evil in the soil fitted to
yield a luxuriant growth that shall abund
antly reward the sower, or mantle liis
cheek with shame. The opportunities for
assisting or retarding the progress of the
school are not few in number. You may
injudiciously extend sympathy to a child
whose youthful indiscretion leads him to
believe that the teacher has given Iiim
severe and unmerited reproof. Without a
correct knowledge of the case (for children
are prone to magnify when it places them
on vantage ground), you acquiesce in the
child's belief that be has been loiilly dealt
with, and condemn the teacher as unjust.
The child is not slow to comprehend the
meaning of your conduct, and takes it tor
granted that he is not bound to respect the
will of the teacher when it seriously con
flicts willi his own. Thus you have taught
the lesson of disobedience, and at the same
Cuiie encouraged the child to magnify his
grievances, that he may be always sure of
gaining your support. And to this add the
trouble you caue the teacher, and the
hindrance to the school, in the consump
tions of valuable time In endeavoring to
suppress the rebellious spirit you have
strengthened and encouraged. The teach
er U not the one that suffers from the ef
fects of this error, but the child is the un
fortunate victim who suflers the greatest
wrong. ' '
All this is the result of misunderstand
ing Itctwcen parent and teacher. The
parent does not know that the teacher is
aiming to do what he believes to be best
tor the child ; he does not know that the
teacher has labored long and earnestly,
spending wakeful hours at night to con
summate a plan that will bring round the
desnvd result in a manner most satisfactory
to parent and beneficial to the child, with
out compromising the dignity of his posi
tions or the interest of the school.
The ouly way to obviate this difficulty is
for the parent to acquaint himself with tlie
workings of the school, not by children's
reports, but by visiting the school frequent
ly. This not only banishes wrong impres
sions but creates a new interest in both
pupil and teacher. The teacher is not un
like other human beings, and is always
grateful for any manifestations that ids la
bors are appreciated. But the pupil re
wives the greater benefit, it always being
an incentive to have good lessons if visitors
are expected. And if those visits are liable
to come at any time, pupils take double
interest in always being prepared. There
is much more to be said, but let this suffice
tor tlie present. -
Handsome stock. A more complete
o handsomer selection of stoves ranges,

of anything in his line.
