John Bon on the matter .of pun ishment in the schools last night I could not have been heard by every patron of public schools. It is very true that thoughtless and indiscreet parents are wholly to blame for the troubles now so frequently occurring between pupils and teachers and pu pils themselves in the public schools of the country. Impatience of re straint and an exaggerated idea of the importance and the personality of every ohiok and child in his teens is at the root of tho trouble.' Parents who cannot control or restrain their children at home, or who aro willing to put up with scant oourtesy and con venience in the matter' of obedience are generally the most ready to take exception to an attempt to restrain or control their joy and pride when they send him to sohool. People with such notions as these ought not to inflict their unruly offspring on a long suffer ing teacher. It is too late to teaoh a ohild obedience and promptness and to get s tubber ness out of their head when the child is beginning to feel his inches. There ought really to bo a'military reformatory for such and their bad influence removed from the aohools.. The Times is delighted to know that there has been little to complain of in tho matter of discip line in the local schools during the past year, and wo hope that Florence's schools will always be a model in this respeot.-Florence Times. - Wednesday night the Cheraw j and Darlington passenger train.ran j into the ditoh a fe? miles from Flor ence.
