A PLEA FOR HEARTY CO-OPERATION
OF PARENTS.
uv h.mi. J. V. Joyner, State Superintendent.
wish to make an earnest
ry: to your readers who are
vi t rons of the public schools for
IMl active co-operation of the
; oivv with the school, of the pa
y,.:n with the teacher, in secur
increased and regular attend
in, e upon the public schools and
forcing discipline and faithful
jiul conscientious performance
by the children of assigned
school duties.
Statistic show that only 45 per
cent of the total school popu
lation, betwoen the ages of six
and twenty-one, is in daily at
tendance upon the public schools:
and only 63.7 per cent of the to
tal number of children enrolled
in the public schools attend dai
ly during the session of the
schools. It is impossible for any
readier, however interesting he
wiy make the work of the
, .-liool, and however faithful he
:nay be in the performance of
his duties, to secure regularity
and punctuality of attendance or
th' faithful performance of"
school duties, without the hearty
co-operation of parents at home.
Many parents do not realize
that after a child begins to at
tend school, going to . school
should be and is h;s main busi
ness in life. As childhood iSithe
habit-forming and charter-build-
ins period of life, the will deter
mine the manner in
will perform the main work of
v nie in me worm as a
character that enable him- to
overcome obstacles and to pre
form unpleasant duties for duty's
sake.
In the name of the child, tor
his future welfare, therefore. I
must earnestly appeal to every
parent to co-operate with the
teacher of the child in securing
regular and punctual attendance,
prompt and faithful performance
of every school duty, and prompt
and cheerful obedience to every
reasonable requirement of pro
perly constituted author in
childhood, in the formative
period of life, for the formation
of habits and the development of
that stren gth that alone can give
any reasonable assurance for
success and service in manhood.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
President in the West. All Legitimate
News Safe.
By C. H. Tavernner.
Washington, Oct. Special.
The President has been in, the
West. The people have listened
to his defense. And they still be
lieve he did wrong' in vetoeing
the honest efforts of both bran
ches of Congress to reduce the
awful cost of living in the United
States.
Such is the tenor of the news
that has come ,over the wires
from the special correspondents
who either accompanied or trail
ed Mr. Taft on his 13,000 miles
swing.
Arthur Henning: Washington
correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune; inteviewed hundreds
of westerners and found that
the people generally liked Mr.
Taft personally but absolutely
disapproved his record as Presi
dent. Angus McSween, the celebrat
ed Washington corresponcent of
the Philadelphia North Ameri- j
can, (also republican), wired
from Topeka, Kans., as foolows;
"President Taft did not make
a dent in the surface of strong
progressive sentiment in the
state of Kansas during his visit
here'
It developed, too, that a great
many men, in all walks of life
candidly admitted that next year
they proposed to vote for a
Democrat for President, notwith
standing theyalways before had
voted for a Republican. A great
many of these referred to the
magnificent record the Demo
crats made in Congress last
session, and frankly
that since the Democrats had Co.
shown real ability to govern, and
govern well, it was no more than
their due than ihey should be
given greater responsibility.
All Legitimate Business Sate.
Chairman A. 0. Stanley, of the
steel trust investigating com
mittee, says the Republicans
are endeavoring to create the
impression that the democratic
investigation, of the steel trust is
in the nature of an attack on the

this is true.
"Republican newspaper," said
Mr. Stanley, "are trying to
make the country believe we are
persecuting the steel corporation
Nothing could be further from
the truth. The investigation has
been conducted with the the ut
most fairness, and not a single
one of the steel men who testi
fied failed to thank the com
mitteee for the fair and gener
ous way in which he had been
treated.
"The Democrats realize the
necessity for constructive action
They want the country to feel
that no ilegitimate business is
going to prosper if they can
help it.
- "The Democratic party is not
bent upon a ruthless policy of
destruction, and no legitimate
business need fear that it will be
treated unfairly."

cert will be greatly appreciated.
