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.
Prof. .1. K. Connors spoke of the progressive
work being undertaken by the
school and of the support that it deI...

a teachers' magazine describing the good
tlint had been done by an organization
of this kind in Host on.
-Mr. \Y. 1*. 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

Visit the school and learn tin teacher's
side of the i|iiestion. and know

and study any exciting during the
week.

tie must obey I remise n is riitht to

in the smallest detail is a i< tleetion on
you and a dishonor to liim.
I5i' exeeetlinylj careful to never say
or do anything that the child enn take
as encouragement for disobedience or
shirking in school,
lie prompt and chen lul in responding
to any re<iucsl from the teachei or
Superintendent and < oiisidt that it is
much easier tor you to <?o to sec them
than for thorn to find you.
Never ask for any special ooiisidera

in real lili and school ought to lie iriic
lo lilt- II the child is sick, the- teacher
should he informed <.t it and *ill n?>t
tail to give the proper considerntion.
hut aside from this let the child know
that ho must expect I lie same treatment
that is accorded all others and that he
must do his duty in work and hehn\ ior.
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.
