ot the PTA. i
Yesterday Mrs. Mount phoned
me and invited me to make a talk
to the PTA on any subject of my
own choosing. After thinking the
matter over 1 easily decided upon
an important and timely subject.
The subject is How Some Parents
Contribute To The Failure of their
(Children in School.
! Very few parents are willing to
j concede that they have any part in
the failure of their children, and

No pupil in the high school can
do satisfactory work without lin-
ing some studying at home at
night. Far too many parents neg-
lect this important feature in the
school work of their children.
Neglect on the part of parents in
this respect leads to neglect on the
part of the pupil. No pupil can
spend his nights on the streets
and do satisfactory work. A man
whose boy is doing failing work
in school was talking to me a few

1 le neglects to look into the lausc.
Soon the child is invariably late
reaching home. When this prac-
tice becomes generally prevalent,
j i here is a falling off in the inter-
jest and grades of the pupil.
Report cards are made out and
j given prom ply., to pupils at the end
j'd every six weeks. Some parents
jiH'glcct to examine those cards
carefully. As a result 1 have had
parents to tell me that they did
not know their children were fail-
ing. The report cards had the
average up to date, but the par-
lie said "No lie docs not" who is
to blame in this case, t lit* teacher
or the parent? Of course the
teacher will be censured for tin*
failure, but again 1 a k. Who is
to blame?

first principles of self denial. And

that any bov is at a great disad-
vantage in the race ot life who has
not learned the lesson of self de-
nial.
