Columbus, Neb., Oct., 13tb, '85.
Editor Journal, Dear Sir.- Will
you please publish the following
item in refutation of a scandalous ar
ticle that appeared in the last issue of
the Columbus Democrat, from the
pen of W.N. Hensley against H.J.
Hudson ? What I have to say is this,
that I have been closely connected
with H. J. H. for a number of years,
in a religious point of view especially,
therefore I am in a position to under
stand what I affirm, that is that Elder
Hudson is in good standing and held
in high esteem by tho flock over
whom he presides in this place, also
by the highest authorities in the
church everywhere he is known.
Therefore I brand the author of the
article referred to above as a scandal
monger and villifier of the worst
kind. Yours respectfully,
George W. Galley.

In our previous article we defined
the duties of parents towards their
children, in a moral and social light
Now we shall speak of these in rela
tion to the public schools. Here it is
supposed the mental faculties are to
be developed.
The various branches of study as
prescribed by law are to be taught,
and the character of the pupils es
tablished. While the privilege of an
education free for all is guaranteed
on the most easy terms, simply to
attend these schools we are sorry to
say that illiteracy and depravity exist
to an alarming degree. We find
thousands upon thousends who can
scarcely read and write, and large
numbers who cannot even scrawl
their names. Now whose fault is
this? Almost invariably it is the
fault of parents. Since benevolent
action has been taken to provide the
necessary books and clothing,there is
excuse for comparatively few to ab
sent themselves. This evil is not
confined to the pauper class alone.
We find numbers who are not de
pendent upon charity, letting the
golden privilege pass, and their
children grow up in ignorance.
How to reach and remedy this evil
quite puzzles the wisest heads. Since
we have passed tho day of "fogyisni"
"Teaching by main strength and
awkwardness," there seems to be a
tendency to run to the opposite ex
treme, which I shall be pleased to
term fanaticism. In order that the
children of our schools shall have
proper moral training, it is required
of a teacher, in addition to the other
adequate qualifications, that he pos
sess a good mora! character. And in
order that the pupils be properly im
pressed with perfect conceptions of
right and wrong it is necessary that
be have a fair discipline in bis school.
In this the grave duty of the parent
is, to assist Tet it is a lamentable
fact, that the aid the teacher receives
from this direction is seriously in
adequate. Now seldom a parent, and even a
school officer drops in to see the
school. It is true that not many have
a great deal of time to spend in this
way. There are but few however,
who could not drop in a few minute,
occasionally. A long stay is not ne
cessary. A few minutes call, now
and again, tends to prompt the chil
dren with the idea that somebody is
interested in what they are doing,
and stimulates them to greater effort
to gain kaowledge. The way most

the pupils with the idea that it is a
kind of matter-of-custom case, and
more a fashion than a duty. For this
cause and this alone, almost, when,
pupils hare a teacher who doee his
duty as such and requires good de
portment and diligence, children dis
like school ; play truant, etc.
Now it is your duty as parents to
sustain the teacher In his efforts to
perform the duties devouring upon
him as teacher. And the parent who
flatly refuses so to do is by no means
a good factor of society, notwith
standing wealth or distinction. Three
or four meddlesome, indisposed par
ents in a district will render it
impossible for the most expert teach
er beneath the sun to conduct an
agreeable and successful school.
I wish to mention some of the vices
to which parents are given, as I see
them. First, the practice of criticis
ing the teacher before the children,
has a very deleterious effect upon the
pupils. It developes a disposition of
the same nature, and is apt to gener
erate In them a spirit of obstinacy
and rebellion. The practice of tell
ing your children to resent all of
fense from other children encourages
a quarrelsome, and a pugilistic dis
position. The practice of telling your
children that you do not allow the
teacher to punish them, and requir
ing them to tell you if he does so, and
you "will see to it," is another evil
that tends to embolden them in dis
orderly conduct, indolence, and in
solence. Another evil found with a
great many parents is the practice of
quizzing their children every night as
to what everybody said and did dur
ing the day, and especially all the
teacher said and did, and then criti
cising before them. This practice in
variably encourages 'gossiping and
exaggeration. The children will soon
learn to embellish their tales. Other
parents simply send children to
school "to get them out of the way"
tacitly saying, take care of your
selves. A.
