I RESULT of PARENT NOT
BACKING TEACHER
(The Kings Mountain Herald)
FOR th ethird time in ten years this tat\
of woe the Herald retells. Some fifteen ^ ^
years ago the editor was Tiding along a
country road in Dulpin County in company
with a young dentist. We were drawing
up to a rail f- nee which surrounded a ten
acre field in the midst of which stood a
small farm house. The oil country road
was rough 3nd muddy and rooty and holey
ami we iogg- i along in a ruhoertirca buggy
behind an old ycltaw man and talked about
matt is as th< y suggested themselves.
"You s?> tnat oid house over there in the
field," asked the dentist, and I answered
in th" affirniativr. "That has a tragidy
connected with it." he continued. Then he
went on to tell about it. Here is about
the -um and substance of what the doctor
said: Onei that was a fairly hanpy horn*.
The father and nv>ther and little son tended
th? little farm and nii'kcd the cow and had
a simple living, in winter the fond parent*
nt th*. little boy to school and were proud
of him. Ore night the son returned from
hool al; putFed up and with a scowl upon
his face and proceeded to tell the parents
that the teacher had treated him very
wrongly and had whipped him. At this the
father became enragi d and told the hoy
that he would see the teacher and give him
a whipping and that he would not go back
to that school again.
This suited the hoy. Some years later
the hoy had grown to young manhood and
was hang, d over hire at the county seat
land inside of a year both father and mot?)"
(i r v.i re dead of a broken heart and here
is what broke th i rheavls: As the son
tood upon thi? gallows t have his last say
' before the treddle was sprung hi pointed
\ his finger directly at his father and told
him that he was t ldanv . He reminded
'him of the incident of the whipping at the
'school and how his father had taken sides
with h in araiii.-t the teacher and s toped him
J from school. "That's whin you ruined me,"
I charged the criminal who was to die for
the i. ".inc of a fellow man. "I thought
that you would alw.iyr take my part" and I
: determined do a- I plea-ed after that."
Then^he young man told all present that
they could not always do as they pleased
j when they pleased to do wrong. t"he criminal
wound up his speech by again charging
: hi^ father with his crin* and dating it back
! to 'he school episode. "And," the doctor
!c - tirued "in a y?ar both parents had
die?l of grief." Indeed the father was a
j party to the crime.
It the parents don't back up the school
teachers in maintaining discipline we will
| certainly raise a generation of bol^hevists
j and anarchists.
