Communicated
One of the serious impediments to tho
welfare of a child throughout his t cliool
life is the lack of sympathy existing bo
tween his parents and teachers That
parents sympathetic or antagonistic in
their attitudo toward teachers can exert
a great influence for good or evil in tho
school lives of their children is some
thing that only the bun ry hearted
teacher can fully realize Any obfcor
vant person cannot fail to recognize that
a cooperation that could hardly fail to
be beneficial seldom exisrs Tho fault
does not lie wholly with tho parents
Teachersespecially those who are young
and fresh from a training course filled
with theories and ideals oftentimes re
gard tho wishes and firmly fixed pre
judices of tho parents with contempt
They feel themselves secure in the back
ing of prominent educators and thoy do
not chooso to recognize tho antiquated
notions of the parent Here they err
Although they are undoubtedly working
conscientiously for the best interest of
tho pupil still they are hot wise in ignor
ing tho views of tho parent however falso
they may regard them Perhaps no
classof persons meets ih so much or so
severo criticism as teachers Much of
this criticism is unjust aud exists solely
because parents and others listen to un
verified reports and do nothing to ac
quaint themselves with the real iuner
workings of tho schoolroom Any per
son experienced with children knows
that these reports even when absolutely
truthful from their point of view cannot
be relied upon Again anyone who has
had the training of children has exper
ienced the mortifying fciot that even the
best trained children sometimes woefully
lapse from their knowledge of good man
ners and courtesy when away from homo
among other children
Some mothers will not tolerate anv
correction of their childrens manners
by their teacher taking it as a direct in
sult to their home training when it is
but the result of childish heedlessness
It is not always easy for parents with a
firmly grounded belief in the forms of
education in use in their school days to
see the advantage of new methods but
were they to frankly talk the matter
over with the teacher the cases are fre
quent where she could throw light upon
their real and not apparent value And
no greater injury can be done a teacher
than to condemn her at home in the
presence of her pupils There are some
they usually allude to a teacher as a
school marm who persist in believing
and encouraging that a school teacher is
never to be regarded with other than
suspicion They say she gives the chil
dren no encouragement Beforo reiterat
ing such a statement I wish they might
be induced to go into the schools about
them and notice the loving untiring
elrorts ox tne teachers in every conceiv
able way to encourage and give fresh
impetus to the pupil not by means of
semi yearly prizes that for one trium
phant heart leave a score of sore ones
but by daily hourly words and smiles
that make the children believe in them
selves
Seeing this they might give her credit
in fieir hearts for other than mercenary
motives If every mother could be made
to realize how hard a conscientious teach
er aims to develop her child toward be
coming just what her mother heart hopes
and prays he will be there is little doubt
teachers would find their authority more
universally upheld in the home by the
parents It is a fact there aro teachers
who regard vacation and paydays as the
best part of teaching but it is just as
true that there are others who find their
best part in the knowledge that one lit
tle life has been given something to help
in the days to come when ho must be his
own teacher and it is such that deserve to
be sustained and encouraged by the par
ents It is a recognized fact that when
from the vantage point of maturity we
look back to the days of youth that we
esteem those our truest friends who set
for us the tasks we overcome or who in
sisted on certain severities of discipline
The boy when grown a man remembers
wth more respect the teacher who kept
him in to make up his lessons than the
one he adored in boyhood because of his
superior feats in pitching a ball Why
then should not pareuts able to com
mand the same wider view of what is
for the ultimate good of the child be
ready to indorse and support every dis
cipline and instruction of the teacher
despite childish fault finding and pro
test
