TEACHERS AND PARENTS SHOULD READ THIS Supt. 5ave.g Calls Attention to Fault Some Teachera Have. As questions of like conditions to the following bave been sent to me from different places in the schools under my supervision. I shall ask the papers of Grants'! Pass to Print the article containing the questions and their answers as taken from The School and Home Journal of Portland, Oregon. To the anwser which coincides with my idea, I would like to add, visit your school and observe for yonrself the varoua problems with whi;h the teacher meets and how she solves them. Then daring the intermission talk over the mutter with the teacher and I feel confident yon will go home more relieved. LINCOLN SAVAGE. Dear Mr. Editor : Can you give me some advice through your new paper? We like The School and Home very muoh but a number of the mothers feel that they would like to say a few words ouctt in a while. I bave notied that the Congress of Mothers has a page in the magazine, but I haven't anv time to belo' g to the new fangled clubs. By the time I get throng!) with my housework and my garden, the chickens, and with getting the children off to school, it's time to get dinner for the men. And after din ner, I must do my sewing and mend ing. And wilh two big boy and three growing girls, you may know there is a great deal to do, to say nothing of the washing and ironing. But I did not start ont to tell yon about my housework. What I want to know is, has my Jennie's teacher any right to pull her ears and call her a blockhead before the whole school? Aud do yon thiuk it is ladylike for her to say funny things about Frank's red hair and freckles? I think if teachers only knew how often they hurt children's feelings by making remarks about things the children can't help, and which make the other children laogh at them, they would be more careful. My Frank hat has declared time and again that he would run away and go to work somewhere, if he had to go to that teacher. And I just bave to beg him for my sake to put np with it She is a good teacher In many othei respects, bnt she just nags that poor boy nearly to death. Please t-11 me what to do about It Mr. Editor. I cannot afford to send the children to anoher school and it just worries me dreadfully. Yours truly, AN ANXIOUS MOTHER. ANSWER In law a techer has practically the same rights While a child is in school that a parent has while the child is in the home, but no tacher or pareut has a right to pull the ears of a child. This should never be done as it is liable to injure the heiring. No thoughtful teacher will call a child a "blo'khead" before the school or at any other time. Such remarks always lose the resnect a child haB forthe 'teacher, and this the I teacher cannot afford if she wishes to retain her usefulness as an in struct! T. A child is usually very conscious of any physical peculiarity. Instead of saying funny things about him, a teacher could enlist Frank's sviupatliv nnd help by notii.g the fuct'that red haired boyj are often those who ac complish lurge thiniis when tliev Hre men. on ask what to do about it. Get acquainted with the teacher as stiii as you can. You will proba bly tlnd her not lucking in sympathv aud a personal acqua ntunce will raii-e her to take a ureat. r personal intenst in your children. Sinelv she does not do tlies-i things intentionally. Teachers are sometimes thoughtliss as well as other p-ople. It may be when you have talked Willi' the teacher you will rind tht the matter will sound differently. Children hear through children's tars and oftentimes uiiseoustrue mutters that aro well meant.

Setti least 50 years and its legality haa never been questioned nntil an irri gating ditch was nut through this valley. ' Then some "parties concluded that land is valuable and that private gain is more to be desired than pnb lio convenience and have fenced up the publio road, those livnig on the road below the fence bave no legal way to gat to Murphy post office or to get to the county road leading from New Hope to Grants Pass. So you see we were in a hole unless some kind rrlend saw nt to let as cross their premses. Still we made no demonstration of violence bnt meekly submitted to the inevitable, but ever prayed to the county court and the God of Daniel in whom we firmly belive, will, in due time, redress all our wrongs. We would say to our erriog brothers, come, let as help each other along life's thorny path way and heed the injunction of sa cred writ where it says ' 'Love thy neighbor as thyself." Respectfully, O.
