TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, MAY 12, Moral 1904. Training in Our Public were worse than the boys. If a girl was taken for insanity, that the authority I Schools. sent down stairs on an errand, the in the asylum know better. Repentance ' [TO THg EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT.] Mr. Editor,—We are not to judge of the moral condition of our schools by now and then an exceptional case. “ There is no flock, however watched and tended, *’ of which we are always sure, though it was reported a few years ago that no graduate of a high sohool had yet been found in jail. The school is not the only force working within and upon the pupil during school age. VX ho can tell the home influences of many of them, their associates upon the street, the exhalations from doorway, and basement, apd window ? Faithful and efficient as the teacher my be, these are influences and exam ples stronger than his, and more con stant and enduring “Let me make the ballads of a people,” says someone ; but with how much more truth might it be said, give me the first six years, and send to what school you please. The question of submission or lawlessness, of truthfulness or falshood, of deceit or honesty, is decided, I believe, for most children, before they are supposed to be capable of understanding it. Not from the school, but in the home, do the children learn their first lessons. The negative influence of the teacher will nut outweigh the positive temptations of the saloon and the street. While the good teacher sleeps, the venders of stimulants and narcotics, and the impure literature of sensational books and newspapers are vigilant and active. Inspiriug gems of literature are outdazzled by the se ductive tales of the Police Gazette and the unpruned publications of court room disclosures. We must not expect the thoughts of our children to be pure and their language^ chaste as long as there are in every community so many fathers yes, an J even mothers, much of whose time is employed in collecting and telling obscene stories. The moral influence of this class of person is worse than that of thosfc who are engaged in disseminating obscene pictures and obscene literature, for the reason that the law is inforced against the latter and not the former. These people are the moral lepers of the communities in which they live, and they should be colonized as are the lepers of the Sandwich Islands. No where as in the well-directed school, is the spirit developed that regards charac ter above surroundings, where merit is rewarded with success, and honor is be stowed where it is due. The order, the industry, and the cul ture of our schools, though indirect, and often unconscious, are yet efficient and ever-present moral influences, which we cannot well over-estimate. Nor is the school wanting in that more direct and positive teaching and guidance that promote and establish a well-ordered life and character; not al ways or most frequently given in set phrase of formal discourse and thread bare homily. Though preaching is made the means of saving those who believe, the trouble is that the schoolboy does not believe—in preaching, or the teacher that preaches. The most of us can recall one such in our school life, who set apart his regular half-hour for so-called moral instruction ; and if there ever was a half-hour in the dav in which he wasted words, squan dered the esteem, forfeited the respect, and lost the control of his pupils, it was that same moral half-hour. It was the appointed time for restlessness, inatten tion, and disorder, when the exhausted patience of his hearers found relief in whispered, if not in muttered complaint, from which a wiser man might have learned that it is not all of morals to moralize. In respect to the crowning virtue of woman, our system of mixed schools gives a decided advantage. With bovs and girls in the same room, associating naturally as brothers and sisters of a family, tly? fanciful notions that one sex have of the other, the absurd estimates and impure imaginings, are superseded by matter-of-fact sentiments of every day life and social intercourse. Meeting, too, on the field of intel lectual strife, the conflict or concord of the emotions becomes a secondary affair, if indeed it ever appears on the surface, as it is not likely to do, with the ridicule of schoolmates and the repressing scorn of instructors constantly threatening it. Indeed, in mixed schools the tendency is that the rivalries in scholarship between the sexes may so overshadow the senti ment of gallantry on one hand, and the romantic notion on the other, that indif ference, not to sav positive rudeness, may be the result. But if such is the case, little harm is done, for the post graduate period will soon repair all damage on that score, and the time is sure to come when “In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.’’ Many years' pedagogical experience has fixed forever my conviction on the matter of separate schools for bovs and girls. There is a school in the East, which, a few years ago, consisted of 150 boys down stairs, and about an equal number of girls up stairs, both depart ments entirelv separate as to manage ment. The yards were separate bv a board fence, made of cull lumber. The man, of course, had charge of the order of the yard, and a troublesome charge it was. A single day had not elapsed be fore all the knots were knocked out of the fence, and such peep ng and prving were never seen before, and in truth, the girls whole school of boys was thrown into such commotion that they could not be brought down to their deportmental gait tor half an hour, and not then with out a vigorous application of the rat tan. Now, though that school numl>ers a thousand, equally divided between the sexes, difficulty on this score is never en countered, noteven to the passing of a note. So I am constrained to believe that it is better to separate the yards by a brick building and unite the boys and girls in the schoolrooms than to separate them in the schoolrooms, and then vainly endeavor to keep them apart in the yard by means of a board fence made of cull lumber. No injury to morals can happen in mixed schools, not even the show of flirtation, if the administration is strong and free from suspicion, espionge and prurient prudery. For the rest, the less said to the girls on the subject of prudent conduct the better. Though never so ignorant, the mothers are equal to that task, and the native delicacy and pride of girls are sufficient to secure their good behavior unless they are driven to mis chievous pranks by undue watching and restraint or the pseudo.moral lectures and warningsand exortations of idiotic prudes. It is an insult to a pure minded girl to broach the subject of her cardinal virtue. A look or a word will check an action having the color of indiscretion ; but the great secret of successful gui dance is to show implicit confidence, to take goodness for granted. The best way to teach honesty in school is to be honest—not to talk honesty but to act it. If a teacher in structs his pupils to behave with great propriety in the presence of strangers whatever they may do at any other time; if he pretends to know a fact of which he is ignorant and temporizes in the matter, or brow-beats the questioner, he is teaching dishonesty, and worse, undermining his pupils’ confidence in humanity, which loss of confidence is an evidence and an element of dishonesty. The teacher who is noth}' previous pre paration ready to conduct a recitation in an active and intelligent manner, crowding all the work possible into the time assigned to it, is not strictly honest. By rummaging for questions that ought to be at the teacher’s tongue's end, or before his eyes, the pupils are cheated of their time, and dishonesty is practiced and tacitly taught. Children like to work but they must b£ made to work, and to this end the teacher must work, and the only honest work is active work, and active work is a very high order of practical morality—present morality and future morality, for the habit so ac quired is a moral habit.
