Cooperation of Pvreatn. Andjtheae are not Ike worst. If the teeoher oonkl have Ih hearty oooperation of the parent! la imparting to Urn children these napessary principles, bar burdens would not be half so heavy. If, for example, when the teeoher saggeeta that the children brash tbeir teeth before going to school io the mornjag, the parents would Uke it upon Ibamnalvea to see that their children do that very thing, how moofa easier it would make of ikf; Irechff fetid I how much more rmpid bar pro greet I What good does it do for a test, her to waste her breath im pressing a pc a children the phy sical and mental injury resulting from the nee of cigarettes when every day the father smokes them at home in the press nee of his ekildran? The parent and the teacher should be a unit in their effort to train the child. Thera mho old be e close iatimaey, a lov ing fellowship, an Inanparnbia partnership between parent and teen her. For exaapU, if the pa rent does not agree with the teach er's method in dealing with the ’ child, the child ahoald never know it. If the parent thinks the ehitd ban been pat Into the wrong el see, or given the wrong booh, or bee been mistreated in any respect, the parent ahoald aever ear so before the child, bat shoe Id go di restly to the teacher and ia a private and friendly way give bis or ner views and reasons.

During the aohool boors, the teacher beoomes the guardian, or foeter-pereot, ot the ebild. Tbe responsibility of providing for tbe health and comfort of tbe child in school boats nroosccrilj rests upon the teacher, sod yet in many instances the teacher ia not responsible. For example, the teechec and okiidran go shiv ering to aohool ion* sold morn ing to flad that the trustees have not provided proper stoves and fad, or other heating facilities They crowd around a half-heated Move the greeter pert of the day while the larger boys bring in green wood and try ae best they oaa to start e fire. Again, in the posh and panic of races* boar, a boy shovas his aim through * window and tbe pane ia out and gone. Day after day the student* are required to sit by the broken window, with wet feet sad a poor fire and bad oolda follow. Of coarse the teacher aboald make her needs kaown, bat those needs aboald be met by the committemeo as promptly and as speedily ae pos sible. I hope the teacher* of tbe Haobury school are not troubled with any of these annoyances, but if they are they should have'pro per attention at onoe. And bow a word to tbs boys aod girts before ms.
