youth as a product o f the school?
Why does the youth who seems to be
responsible in the school, who obeys
the rules with seething cheerfulness
while in the schoolroom, who accepts
he restraint of the school room with
out question, why does this youth
prove irresponsible outside o f school?
Is there something lacking in the
school training? Undoubtedly there
is. The thing that is lacking is self-
control and self-dependence.
The
training of the school has not carried
over into the situation which the
child meets outside o f school. With
the restraint gf the school gone, and
the restraint of the home gone, the
youth must act on his own respon
sibility and so often he chooses the
wrong way. Now I am not going to
say that tho school will ever be able,
alone, to develop enough self-re
straint in a child so that he will act
rightly in every situation. I do not
know that it can be done. It is plain
to me, however, that in many, many
cases the influence o f the school
does not carry over into the situa
tion outside the school. I know that
many a child will do the thing when
out from under the restraint o f the
school that he would never do on the
school ground.
“ It is easy enough for us as teach
ers to say that the moral training o f
the child is no concern o f ours, that
it' is a responsibility o f the parent;
but when the parents will not take
the responsibility, or as is more often
the case they are unable to meet the
situation without our assistance, then
they have a right to demand that we
stand ready to help,” concluded Mr.
Jewett.
