Slant In the Schools.
Who has any Interest in our nubile
schools? 'J ho parents' Very few Most
parents content themselves with dress
ing their children as pret ily as possi
ble, seeing that they aro clean before
going to school, and then lot tho
teacher do tho rest. Thoy never visit
thoir children's classes and do not
know tho character or ability of tho
teacher Most parents do not know
tho teacher of their children even by
sight.
Perhaps tho ministers aso interested
in tho schools, but wo know of none.
The board of education, beyond
overseeing tho business department,
are ignorant of what Is going on in tho
classroom Who, then, is there to
interest himself In school matters?
Tho editor of Tut: Chief would gladly
appreciate any information leading in
tills direction.
Hut something ought to bo douo to
compel tho teachers of our children to
use puto language: It is ivally appall
ing to think that children are schooled
in tho uso of slung. Only recently we
were imformed by mothunof chldren
in school that tho teacher very Im
pressively stated to tho class that
"e.icli should chew his own beefsteak."
Can one imagine more vulgar s aug?
Wo would not be .surprised to find
such language in tho city slums, but
when tho person who is paid to bo an
example and inoulcate pure thoughts
into tho minds of tho young, gives
them instead tho language of tho vul
gar, wo think sonio vigorous measures
shoud bo adopted. Last year we
hoard'such things as "darn it," "that's
a dinger" and matij- equally as bad,
from tho pupils and were informed
that tho phmses wore classic bocauso
thoir teacher used them.
Tho poison employed in tho sacred
duty of educating tho young should
givo nothing but tho purest thoughts,
tho highest ideals and tho nost refined
lauguago. Any one who is incapable
of tilling this position should be
turned out of tho school room and tie
permitted to associate with tho usors
of slang, the butchors of lauguago, and
not poison tho mind of the growing
child with such inelegant language as
'chew your own beefsteak."
