We dlil not mention last week the ease of the high school boy who de fled the school authorities find for it received punishment at the hands of Principal Mellke, after advising with Superintendent Turner, of the city schools. We are old fashioned enough to feel that discipline In a school is Imperative and the teacher who cannot maintain It Is unworthy of the hlh and responsible position he holds at the hands of the school board. Impudence, ungentlemanly conduct, a disregard of discipline and a bad example are all evil In their Influence and should be dealt with without, hesitation. There must bo no exhibition of anger on the part of the teacher, but he must be firm In his high duty to his school and tho disobedient pupil. We should pre fer to sec such nn offender expelled but a wise teacher should be the Judge of the action neeessnry. In this particular Instance It looks as If both the principal and tho superin tendent acted with duo deliberation, so say the school board, and the fact that Justice llolman discharged the defendants upon tho evidence of the complainant and his witnesses with out railing upon tho defense, will satisfy fair-minded people. Tho school represents the law of tho state; therefore It must bo re spected by all who receive Its benefit. Every pupil Is responsible to the law and hlfl fellow student for his eon duct and when ho falls short of this ho strikes a blow at our beneficent system of education. A rebellious pupil Is a disgrace to the school and the flag that flouts over it. Ills ex ample Is Injurious to every boy or girl with whom he comes in contact. Take tho scene In the court room and on tho outsldu on Monday when the case came up for trial. It was sim ply disgraceful In tho extreme. There It was that numerous boys and girls took tho 'irst steps toward the re form school. This whole affair Is to bo regretted. Obedience on tho part of a pupil is the corner stone upon which the state builds its edu cational system. Wo are sorry to be obliged to refer to this case at all but as muny newspapers of tho state have done so, wo reluctantly make this reference to tho subject and add the opinion of the editor of the Even ing Telegram of Portland which here follows: "Every now and agnln we hear of a case of parental Interference with school discipline. Somebody's boy gets punished and somebody assumes that the boy Is the victim of brutal treatment. Nino out of ten of such cases will disclose, upon close Inves tigation, that there Is not sufficient discipline at home, and that the boy is pampered to the manifestation of self-will and disobedience which makes the teacher's tank Infinitely more difficult than It otherwise would be. "Hut recently we have bad occa sion to notice, locally, one of these Instances of parental Interference, wherein the matter was carried to the courts. It was the judicial link luent that the teacher u- simply trying to do his duty, and that clear ly a part and a very important pari of that duty Is the maintenance of discipline In his school. A some what similar case Is recorded In a story that conns from Grants Pass. We are told that this case will also have a court termination, and the probability Is that the judgment will be similar to that rendered In the Portland episode. "However either of these cases might have terminated the wisdom of non-interference In school man agement is apparent. It Is not meant by this tbat brutality on the part of any teacher should be toler ated; and, Indeed, there rarely will be legitimate complaint of discipline tbat is unduly harsh. Teachers, as a rule, are by far the better Judges of what is required in the form of corrective or restraining measures, and It is certainly Incumbent upon every good teacher to maintain ade quate discipline for the benefit of the pupil. "Many of us seem to forgot that obedience Is good instruction, and that wholesome respect for elders Is regrettably In process of neglect. There Is a moral quality to correct discipline that the wisdom of men has always recognized. Schools will fall In their duty toward children whenever that fact Is no longer held In mind. Instead of Interfering, parents should give their loyal sup port to school discipline. Such a course will mean better results In the schools than to encourage Insubordination," IP II s3!?il U rorx.
