8 PARENTS' MEETING HELD TUESDAY. A Number of Interesting Talks and Outline of Plans for the Parents' Co-operation. The first I'aronts' Meeting ol'the year was held in the chapel of the Central Croded School building Tuesday afternoon, and proved to be a profitable and interesting occasion. There was a good attendance of the parents, and interest was aroused in the movement that is expected to make the next meeting a month hence a great success. The parents after the meeting were introduced to the teachers and discussed ijuestions of mutual interest. Only words of praise were heard for the work that has been done in improving the appearance of the school rooms: all of them are decidedly attractive and show well the general pride in the school that is being developed. The meeting was opened with a talk by Supt. I'.ruce Craven who outlined the many ways in which parents can help the whole school and thereby help their own children, and that it is necessary to get together and have unity of action to accomplish the best results. I?r. Itoldridge made an interesting talk about the duties of parents, saying that some one must control the children: that if iho parents do not control them they will be controlled by them: and that he agreed with the Superintendent that corporal punishment ought not to be necessary in the school and would not In- if the children were properly controlled by their parents.

Hennett spoke of the duties of all parents as parents and as patrons ?that they have to look after their own children and that they also owe duty to the school. Th?' next meeting ol the parents will he held about a month hence. A speeial program will hcprcpared and published, and at this meeting it is hoped that every family in town will bo represented. The movement is foi the good of the children and the parents are asked to take interest in this solely for their own good. Some of the many points made by I'rof. t'raven as to what the parents can <lo for the school, are here given ami should rocei\e careful attention.

Try to impress upon the child the simple fact that the school is not a teforinatory hut a place to learn, and that the teacher should never he annoyod in tier attempt to teach, and that any child who does not work or who disturbs the others by misconduct has no right to remain in the school. When any complaint is made against a teacher, give her at least the right that every criminal has?believe Iter innocent until she is proven guilty. Show voui good will for the aehool by not only refraining from idle talk THE LAIS 1 about misunderstood details but by usiug your influence to stop such talk. Realize that the school exists to help you and your children, and then act accordingly. Never say anything but good of a teacher in the presence of a pupil. (This is only part of the general rule to never say anything hut good of anyone anyj where: at the worst, do not say it until you have first told them of it.) Send the children to school promptly and regularly, teaching them that going to school is their business just as much as going to the mill is tho business of the mill employes. Never allow any little thing to interfere with their attendance. Never allow the children to do anything that can possibly encourage them in shirking duty?one of the worst nanus iney I'Hii but lurin. Think of tiie responsibility and burden I of your own few children and then try to imagine what you would do if you (like tho teacher) had to control forty similar or worse ones and at tlie same time try to teach them every minute. When the teacher has some trouble with your child, stopand try to remem| t>er if you have ever had any trouble ! with him, and then ask yourself if the | teacher can rightly lie expected to get along with him better titan you do. I to not presume to criticise the man- I agement of the school or any part of it , until you have heard all sides of it, and | until you have done something to help. | Teach your boy to shun cigarettes 1 (which with liitu go hand in hand with I loafing and profanity) as you would 1 want him to shun a rattlesnake. The | snake might not bite him, tint tho other things surely will. l?o all you can by example and otherwise to get the children interested in ! good literature and to shun bad litemj ture. This is one of the most important : of all things in assuring their safety. ho nut think that a tiling is wrong just because you do not understand it, | or because it is not like school was in ! your day. There is nothing in the | world that does not change with time, I and the school therefore must change i or fall behind.
