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.
