OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Principal B. H.
Words
Moore Addresses a Fow
to the Parents.
Tho fall term of tho Union public
schools begins with the month of Sep
tember and, we hopo with brighter
prospects than over before. There will
bo many new pupils who will bo en
rolled in our schools for tho first timo
with tho coming term and with them
will como many old ones. To tho
parents of all these wo would like to
say a fow words.
First, as to the propriety of sending
I nil pupils on tho first day. Few who
have n6vcr labored in the school room, I
realize tho ndvantago accruing to tho
pupil and tho energy saved to tho
teacher by having all present at tho
opening of tho term. To tho pupil,
oven tho ones who return, thero,
is a certain strangeness of surrounding
which places him at a disadvantage
for earnest mental application. This
is intensified if other pupils have been
at their work a fow days and have be
como accustomed to tho now routine.
It is reduced to a minimum if all seem
nearly alike. Littlo actual school
work, can be dono on this day but' tho
arrangmcnt of classes ought to bo ac
complished and tho work well s.tarted.
This can only bo accomplished success
fully if all tho pupils aro there. If a
number como in on tho second or third
days or tho second wcok tho work of
classification must bo taken up with
them and, as a consequence, tho on
tiro number of thoso in previous at
tondenco lose tho instruction and care
of tho teacher uurinir sncli interval as
may bo necessary to eompleto such
classifvinir. Not only to tho school
mate but also to himself is thoro dis
advantage in failine to bo present at
tho onuninc session. To thoso who
take up tho study of a now branch or a
now topic in somo previously studied
text book, thero is a loss of many in
teresting and even necessary thoughts
from tho now teacher. Even those
who roviow loso much by tho work of
tho first day. Disciplinary regulations
aro to bo explained, acquaintance with
now school associates is to bo acquired,
items of knowledgo aro to bo gained,
and tho start in earnest, energetic
mental action to bo made. Thoso aro
somo of tho reasons why all children
should bo present on tho first day.
To most parents theso words will bo
unnecessary, but wo fear that among
thoso who havo need for tho labor of
their boiis and daughters, thoy will,
ovon now, fail of thorough appreciation.
To such lot mo say that tho wcok or
two which you think of no particular
valuo to your boy or girl, is timo of
great value. Somotnnes with pupils
of ovon ordinary nbihty thero arises
great discouragement because thoy
must hike up tho branch so far in tho
rear of their classmates, very often
even one day's absence during a term
causes a pupil to loso a drill in somo
valuable part of somo tonic then in
band. If th.s is so, bow much, then,
must bo bo disadvantaged by the loss
of tho first week or two at the very
threshold of somo study. Father, bet
tor tuko a littlo risk in lotting tho crop
stand ho much longor than keep from
your uoy wnom you uesiro to ue-
i i
como a thorough man, from that drill
and mental acquirement which alouo
can make him such.
Second, wo would speak of tho neces
sity of regular attondonco. A son-
tenco abovo voices tho keynote of
meaning to this thought. But beyond
tho immediate loss of the thought then
beforo the class thero aro other ovils.
If tho idea is necessary to tho under
standing of tho studyand most aro
thus necessary tho pupil must got it
somehow, Consequently tho teacher s
timo is demanded, to explain, tho timo
which rightfully belongs to tho ro-
niuindor, ia appropriated this is a
stolen and
required to
so
be
1 expended when its conservation is so
necessary. But we must desist.
In conclusion let us 'suggest fivo
ways in which parents may assist in
having a successful school this coming
year.
1.
day.
2.
3.
1.
By tending the child on tho first
By sending the child every day.
By sendingthe childpunctually.
By assuring yourself (hat every
lefson assigned to be studied at home
is fully prepared there.
fi. By visiting the school and en
couraging and commending tho ear
nest efforts of teacher and pupil, re
fraining from careless criticisms.
Just a word on this last. Many and
many a child is radically hindered in
his school work beeausc the parent has
carelessly criticised some plan of the
teacher. Perhaps the parent was
misinformed, perhaps he was right.
In either case he robs the child of u
confidence in his teacher necessary to
the best use of time and talent in t'o
acquisition of knowledge. If mistaken,
ho would better have kept still ; if cor
rect, ho should have visited tho princi
pal or teacher vith his grievance.
Wo think our corps of teachers is an
excellent one, one which will do thor
ough work. But they need tho help
of all, parents and others, in encourag
ing a regular, punctual attendance and
in creating and fostering an interest
in school work. Plcaso assist us in all
ways possible and especially bo care
ful to refrain from doing or saying
aught that shall hinder child in train
ing to its best ultimation in our hands.
Very Itespcctftilly.

A DREAM OF HOME.
Last night I dreamed of thee, mother,
And earth seemed bright and fair,
For I was once again at home,
And you wcro with mo there;
It seemed that I were yet a child,
And from life's cares were free,
Hut when I woko it was a dream,
And thou wert not with me.
bast night I dreamed of thee, mother.
And my heart was lllled with bliss,
For again I heard thy loving voice,
And felt your good-night kiss;
Hut the vision faded from my gaze,
At the early dawn of day,
And I awoke to llnd it all a dream,
That soon would fade away.
Last night I dreamed of thee, mother.
Unconscious of the pain
That the coming morn would bring to me,
when I should awake again
And know that thee, my mother dear,
Now sleeps where willows wave,
Where summer (lowers so sweetly bloom
Abovo thy silent grave.
