Several South Carolina editors are advocating a quick return to the tree use ot the rod at home ami in school. The recent exhi bilious ot youths in public schools have demonstrated that i they have been permitted an in.. I jurious Ireedom of conduct at houie ; have been placed under little or no restraint and while yet in knee breeches consider then dignity ot vastly more importance than good manners or morals. There are people who are now questioning the wisdom of Solomon, but tlie old fellow's ideas in reeard to the application of the rod still have a resped able following. The above paragraph is from The State ot May 21. It seems that newspaper men as well as J school teachers are getting to be very much interested in the dis - * cipline in the schools. And well they may be. The problem is vital, far-reaching, and urgently pressing. In discussing it, one can do a great deal of theorizing. Rut nrt thonrioa u'hicti it r? nnl grow out of facia are worth much. M any people have a radically wrong idea of what a true education is, and the purpose for which children are sent to school. The most important thing* learned in school are regularity, punctuality, obedience, industry, and respect both for themselves and others. .Sonic people do not take this view ot the subject. They think their children are better than those of othtr people, that their children must not be corrected and controlled, that their children may insult, oppress and mistreat both scholars and teachers aud yet must not themselves be effectually corrected Some scholars have the idea that they can and ought to do as they . please. They think they must be allowed to do various indecent things. This spirit brings trouble all aloni? the lino. It nro duces envies, jealousies, and bickerings among ilie scholars. It pu's the teachers in such a position that it is dillicult tor theni not to be accused of favoritism and partiality. These are facts familiar to all who have looked into school lite. Three factors enter into the * making of a well regulated school. The first is good teachers. But no matter how efficient they are they can do very little if the other two conditions he absent. The second factor is good trus teefi who know their duty and are not afraid to do it. The knowledge of how to conduct a school does not come by chance. A man may be a born poet but he becomes a good trustee only by careful work along school lines. The third factor is the parents. They must cooperate with teachers and trustees. If they put ideas of resistance, of superiority, of pride, ot scorn, ot rtisdnin of diHoh?(tif?iio?. into llin y v.. j 'mm" ' heads of their children then trouble may be expected. And many parents, whether intentionally or not, do just this very thing ; and, then when trouble comes they ar9 very prompt- and very certain to condemn the teachers. Some parents think that their children may do anything but the teacher must not ^ correct them. No, they are too good to be corrected. Then ? trouble is on hand. If a boy can't behave himself, it he can't obey, if he is a tyrant among the ache!.. ., if l.e can't je respectful 4 ' t to the teachers, why should he not be sent home and made to stay there? Again, why should some who are unruly be sent home and others who are just as bad be not sent home? Are there are any lordly families in this country who have special rights? Any boys in this country who by great family birth have the right to corrupt their fellow students and mistieat their teachers ; if so whence did they obtain the right ? Why do not trustees sometimes say as a body that discipline shall be just, lair, impartial, indexible, and that there shall be no respect of persons? Why may not teachers, backed by the trustees, say fearlessly and kindly that there shall be order? Why may not patrons as such say to both trustees and teachers lhat there shall be regularly and impartially such dis cinline as will insure the success I ? ful working of the school? No teachers can conduct a successful school without the hearty, tuil, and regular cooperation of both trustees and parents. These re marks apply to all schools everywhere. We have no particular school in view. We are inter ested in them all and desire that they all may become agents in building up the commonwealth in the most efficient manner. Our country needs trained men. Boys who are not decent and obedient in school are not til timber out of which to make good civil rulers. And when men run for civil office, or are seeking for business positions, it will be well enough, before helping them to secure these places.? to ask whether they were obedi ent and faithful in their school lite.
