Again The Gazette has put Gas tonia s schools under obligation to It by setting aside a column to be known as a column for Gastonia Schools. This is one of a thousand kindnesses and Interests shown tbe Bchools by the excellent management ol our excellent paper. Every friend c'. education, every patron of tne schools, the superintendent, the teachers and the pupils should value very, very much this interest. In this column each Friday it is the purimse of the superintendent to have things appear that will be prof itable to the schools as well as In form the citizenship Concerning the schools. The schools are trying to teach the children habits of regularity and punctuality. Every business man considers this a very important qual ification in an applicant for a posi tion in his business. No business will long tolerate an employe who habitually comes to work after the hour set for the beginning of the business day. Yet some of the pa trons are letting their children cul tivate and form this habit that so unfits one for any and all occupa tions. Some one may argue that school calls so early. But have you ever stopped to think at what hour the majority of Gastonia's popula tion begin the day's work? The ma jority of the people must be in place ready for work at six o'clock. An other great class begin at seven. Practically everybody in the work of the world must be in his place ready j for work by eight o'clock. School calls at three-quarters of an hour la ter than this, and yet some pupils come strolling in habitually late. The attendance honor roll for the first month showed that about to per cent of the children in Miss Bry an's room and about 68 per cent of those in .Miss Gallant's room were neither absent nor tardy during the month, establishing the fact that this bad habit is not wholly formed by a large per cent of the pupils. The j: umber coming late habitually is even smaller. Let each parent ask of ;r,e monthly report if his child is forming this bad habit. Let each one work with the schools and the teach ers to form the best habits. It is to be hoped that all will come to realize, as do some, tnat parents and teachers are co-workers in the great cause of character-building for the Master. There should be a great sympatny lor tne parent on the part of the teacher, but there should be a greater sympathy for the teacher on the part of the parent. There are many parents with two or three children giving them so much trouble that itbecomes very hard to know what Is best to do. The aver age teacher has from forty to sixtj. These ail have the same privilege" and rights at school as do those that trouble the-parents, and many of those that trouble parents are Li school. What would a parent r? with forty? What would the ve;--age citizen do with 500, all sizes, in his yard, at one time? Elbert Hubbard has grouped some addresses and essays which he calls "Consecrated Lives." These he has dedicated as follows: "To the teachers in the public schools of America, a class that does more work, and better work, for less pay and fewer honors, than any oth er In the world." The writer had the pleasure of hearing Hon. Charles B. Aycock In Charlotte Monday night. That gift ed speaker, polished orator, able lawyer, peerless politician took time in the midst of a discussion of cam paign Issues and going for his oppon ents to laud the preachers and teach ers as those who are doing more to uplift mankind than all others. He wished for the power to pay each public school tearher according to merits. These words add much to the life of the teacher, reminding all that the years of hard work are not entirely in vain. The writer has ever been distin guished for his modesty, and yet he has no hesitancy in saying that Gas tonia has as fine a faculty as has been gathered together In any com munity in this good State. It is his firm conviction that each teacher in the Gastonia schools has the good of the children at heart, that each one Is working for the greatest good of those within her reach. It Is impos sible for any one to realize this to the fullest extent without watching the work and the Interest dally. This good work can be fostered. Im proved, lightened, blessed by the right kind of sympathy and co-oper ation on the part of citizens, . par ents, patrons and pupils. Few of the citiiens of Gastonia appreciate fully the value of the schools conducted br tha elt through Its board of school commis sioners. It would make many won der If they could .hear some ' .who have come from other schools com pare the two schools. It would cause many more to marvel If they should bear some of tha best pupils of the schools tell how they have seen the course of study grow and Improve during their term In school It would be even more wonderful to some if Ihey .should see In a com munication from a college president a comparison between the courses of Gastonia schools and those of one of the largest cities In tbe State in which comparison uastonia was placed far In the lead. A new and attractive feature of work in the schools is a more syste matic study of current history. This will be emphasized In the grades from four to ten. To do this best the children have been asked to sub scribe to a little paper called Cur rent Events, costing only twenty cents for the year. The average pu pil has not the time to wade through the dailies for the latest discoveries, inventions, the great world move ments, etc. This little paper gives all this without all the scandal and other things which makes one better if he doesn't get them. It is hoped that each family represented in the grades mentioned will subscribe to this paper. fin 1 PI t 1 An lt l ,1 1 . uuuuucn iuc nieuus auu pai runs of the schools sometimes think they are called on very often. But if they will take the pains to invest! gate, it will be found "that our peo ple get off very lightly and that they get big returns for what they give the school board to invest for them. In some towns an Incidental fee of twenty-five cents a scholar monthly is charged; in others the patrons have to pay for half of the school year. It must not be forgotten that it takes money to run any sort of a plant. Think of the colleges with their high tuition rates! They are constantly calling on Individuals for aid, and thi8 is not for the chil dren of the donor's community. If the small calls of your schools could be compared to those made upon a college town, you would wonder why your own schools had been so easy on you. A town is made by every body's doing his best for it. So is a school. WE ARE NEVER ' v COLLARED doing careless laundering. Our com plaint desk Is the dullest spot In the place.
