School Duties of Parents and IV
' - . pils.
Schools aro now opening for
year's work, and it may not h
out of place to make some romarl
in reforenco thereto. One grei
thing is to fturt right; another t
keep right. It will provo a ver
great ad vantage to pupils to stai
in at the beginning and to attec
regularly. That is so obvious thi
it would not seem worth while I
mention it; but it is astonishing I
find so many parents who think
lost day now and then is of r
consefjuonce ? so much so it oftc
mars the difference between
successful year at school and
year wasted.
Another important point is tt
attitude of the parent toward tl
school. A few days off at tl
beginning and, if it is hostil
or even critical, the chances ai
that the children will not derii
much benefit. Sometimes childrc
whoso parents are t\
well at school, but it is very ran
and in those cases the childrc
would do much better if tbe atti
tude of the parent wore friendl
and helpful. There are son
children even of critical and que
rulous parents, who are so goc
that they do well in spite of the
parents; but the rule is tbe oth<
way.

suits will follow.
There is possibly one tearl.-r
