Teachers Seek C0 Parents In Ti At the regular mommy “[1:anan ml the Women’s Institute which was held 13 in the High School Gymnasium on Oc_ b tober 13, at 8 p. m. addresses of great interest to parents and teachers were 5 delivered by Mr. W. Scott, principal ii of the Public School and Mr. James Stewart of the High School. They took as their subject “What Co-oper- ation between teacher and parent may do" and from their experience gave much sound practical advice regard- ing ways and means by which parents may greatly assist the process of eduâ€" cation of their children by intelligent, timely interest in their studies. Mr. Scott who was first speaker said that the great ideal of the teach- er ought to be friendship with the pu- pi], and that through all instruction there should be underlying ideas of truthfulness and fair play on the part of the teacher while the pupil should 1 be prepared for obedience and concen_ * tration in the classroom. “In pre- ‘ school years parents must build into the child the great fundamentals of obedience, truthfulness, self control and concentration,” said the speaker, for if this is not done in the home the work of the teacher is hampered and weakened. The uncontrolled child is very serious problem, but the only‘ kindness to such a child in the school, and the only justice to its mates is firmness and again firmness. There must be respect for authority and self respect.” , ‘ ‘ “ ' I _ 41-nu Huh“:me Hrvâ€"‘fififimn Children Should Learn In The Home The J of Obedience, ’l‘ruthfulness, Self C and Concentration. 1 w, ..... Mr. Scott entered fully into a discu- 1 ssion of the pros and cons oil Home 1 Work and stated that while undoubt- i edly the health of the child must be ' always first considered the average child was not hurt but helped by a certain amount of home work. The ambitious child will work in school or home and the child who does not want to work in either place should, for its own sake be compelled to do so. “Loafers in the classroom make much trouble.” “I despise a loafer said Mr. 'Scott. All children ought to be trained by parkents in the valuable art of concentration on whatever task they undertake. There is no use in alâ€" lowing a child who is supposed to be doing homework to just sit with a book in' front of it. The scholar must concentrate on the matter in hand or the results are unsatisfactory.” The speaker also commented on the irregular attendance of many of the pupils in the lower grades of the pub- lic school. “A certain number of par_ ents, “said he,” seem to think a lost day unimportant but these very same people are often the very ones who at the end of the school year complain that their children, who have perhaps not put in more than half of the poss- ible days of attendance, have not pass- ed their examinations. Regular attenâ€" dance is essential. PAGE FOUR SHOES TAL K !

MANUFACTU RED BY Their School Workv: Coddling is bad for the child and onâ€" ly the very delicate children ought to be kept away for trivial causes.” \I' Mr. Scott concluded by describing‘ some of the modern methods of teachâ€" ing geography, and history and show- ed how the old system of memorizing had been beneficially displaced by ap- pealing to the childish love of a story and by following a logical sequence of ideas, a process in whichiparents might well take their share and part. Mr. Stewart of the High School, in opening his address expressed his perâ€" sonal satisfaction at having an oppor- tunity to confer with parents as in his opinion such opportunities were far too few and much might be accomp- lished if there were closer cooperation hatwaen home and school, teacher and too few and much 1 lished if there were between home and : parent. yarvuv. “You know” said Mr. Stewart,” puâ€" PL pils often have fads some of them co when they come to the High School a, ‘think that they want, let say Algebra, but many of them even after much ex- 51‘ posure to this or other subject they m have fancied don’t “take,” and just V here parents can and ought to help at p S C all times. We need sustained interest of parents in the studies of their chil- dren. There are plenty of parents who never ask their children about their studies. They leave the whole task of education to the schools. Well, 5 no one wants hounding of pupils but 3 without real interest on the part of the parents no teachers can hope tovdo a first rate job. Then, too, “con- ? tinued the speaker" there is too much ' indifference as to the amusements of e the young people to day. Do you know e where your boy or girl is to-night? In a my estimation the place for all schol- e ars during the main part of the week ’1‘ is school in day time and home in the it evening. But we have far too much :5 street lounging and far too little homework properly attended to in the :e homes. Cmoperation here by parents. 31‘ is absolutely essential and I find that to usually the bright pupils are those le who come from homes where the par- sk ents offer real interest and assistance ll- to their boys and girls. be “The least that parents can do is to a provide both time and place for study ,st in the home but quite often even this or Iis not done. link of yourself.

Parents should direct the tastes of their children toward the best literature and Wherever possible should buy good books for them. Here again \the least that parents can do is Ito know what their boys and girls are reading and to realize that they need direction. “We find in the High manual that many of the pupils are School that many of the pupus an: very interested in modern peotry and we are glad that we have now in the school library a better selection of this available, but more is needed.
