PUBLIC SCHOOLS I The Duty of Parent in Order to Aid the Superintendent and Teachers in Doing Their Respective Duties. Next Tuesday the Plattsmouth public schools will open for another year's work, and the boys and girls 111 gather the little bundle of books and move toward the place that Is to shape his or her destiny for the future. Do we realize the Import ance of that picture? Do we appre ciate the meaning of the school and its relation to the life of the chil dren? It Is there tbey are to receive the mental discipline that shall make them successful and desirable citizens or that discipline is going to be abus ed and they will start the career that shall make them other than desirable citizens. Rut whether and what this discipline? It comes from the school, but what is the school? The school comprlKes all those things that con tribute to the mental, moral and phy sical development of the child and this means the parent, the teacher, pupil, asHoclatlon, the school board, the tax payer and the school build ing. , Here you will observe the teacher la not the entire source of the child's development, but Is only one of the many factors In the school organism and hence Is no more responsible than the parent, which Is another fac tor. Children will not develop right ly unless their evenings are properly spent. The parent who permits the children, either high school or grade pupils, to spend their evenings upon the street where they congregate, of ten with the worst society, learn pro fanity, the use of tobacco and other Indulgences, is setting a net t lint will entrap his own children. The rela tion of the purcnt to tho child ami the parent's Influence over the child 1s much greater than that of the teacher, therefore the parent hns no right to hold the teacher wholly re sponsible for the conduct and career of the child. Cooperation with the teacher In Securing home study and see that the pupil spends his evenings at home where the environment is wholesome snd pure. Assist the teacher In training the child so that the right habits will be formed. Who Is re sponsible for the child's proper devel opment? Who should have the most concern about the welfare of your child? The whole school organism should work In harmony. Each member tnuBt perform his proper function or the whole school must suffer. We are glnd to know that the people of riattsmouth are proud et their schools and they have just reason to be. No town the size of l'lnttsmouth offers better educational advantages Hoys and girls should take advantage of the opportunity of attending a first class high school In their midst, fully accredited by the state department of education and by the state univer slty. A town Is always Judged by Its standard of Intellectuality and Its In tellectuallty .never rises above Its school opportunities. With a thor oughly eiulKd Institution, maintain ed and supported as It Is, Halts mouth hns reasons to bo proud. As we aro now about to begin a new scnool year ami to add one more chapter to l'lattsmouth's school It tn- tory, let us make this one of tho best In its history. We bespeak the sen tlinents of the entire faculty and board or education, when we say no time and effort will bo spared In giving to your child tho best and highest that Is possible. Let us be' gin to look after the pupil's equip ment. The board of education has already looked after the sanetary condition of the buildings, and prepared every thing for the reception of the pupils. Now let the patrons aid In tho main tenance of the best public schools of any town in tho state. SMALL WRECK IN THE Frnm Friday's Pally.
