Editor Chieftain:
In the January and October
numbers of a prominent and pop-
ular magazine there appeared ex
cellent editorials on the subject of
certain methods of our public
ficbool ' system and the" duty of
the parents and patrons relative
thereto. These articles referred
to had reference to the "cramming
system" and "home study" out ot
school hours and while excellent
and applicable in their places and
we heartily endorse the principles
involved yet it is to other things
we wish to call the attention of the
parents in our midst more partic
ularly the mothers for largely in
their hands lies the direction of
the child's education in its youth
ful years. As the editor of the
Home Journal says. "It is time
for some direct evidence that the
American parent has awakened to
an interest in the schooling of the
child and intends hereafter to
have something to say as to the
educational methods employed."
How many mothers visit the school
frequently to ascertain what meth-
row. As we all know these grade
cards are sent out each month for
the parent's mgnature. .Qpemoth
er in particular whose child's
grade was first class i being well
pleased for such marked progress
for the second grade and her first
term at school took time from her
many duties to examine the child
to satisfy ; herself that she under
stood her studies as well as the
grade receiyed indicated i
She had hr . read the lesson of
the day belore and found she could
not read one sentence correctly
and when asked where waB her
lesson in arithmetic for the next
day the child promptly turned to
page 44 in Milne's elementary
arithmetic where she- had -been
taugbt for two months. 1 quote
only four questions from the les-
son assigned the child: "What
part ot a gallon is a quart? In 16
quarts how many gallons? 9 plus 4
etc." When Bhe found the child
was in utter bewilderment as to
what she should do or how to
proceed the mother began to ask
her the result of such simple num.
bers as 3 plus 1 2 plus 3 etc.
when the" little girl burst into tears
and said: "Oh mamma I don't
know how to write my figures!"
which was - really a fact as she
learned later that the child could

ods are being used and how much
earnest and conscientious work isnot wrile the nUmbers from 1 to 9
going on or what is ot still more
importance how many examine
their children once a month to de-
termine ; if they thoroughly and
correctly understand what they
have passed over. Of course the
child can tell you how many pages
they have "gone" in reading arith-
metic and geography etc. but this
is no direct proof of their knowl-
edge of the Bame. . Have they
learned to analyze every problem
passed over? Have they been
taught that it is not all but the
mere beginning of reading to pro-
nounce correctly each word in the
lesson and to learn the meaning of
the comma and semi-colon? How
many parents after reading and
signing the monthly reports of
their children eppecially if their
grade be flattering iet the work of
consideration and examination end
there? Ala? it will not do to trust
too inplicilly to the grades upon
tbF "white card?" as gome
mothers have found to their eor-
and did not know one figure from
another. Yet she had been given
a first-class grade in arithmetic
after two months study! The
same thing was practically true
when a child in long division was
examined by the mother. Her
report was very good yet she un-
derstood absolutely nothing in the
arithmetic passed over. The
whole subject was as Greek to her.
What wonder that these mothers
should have hesitated about sign
ing the report cards. We might
cite other instances that havecome
under our own observation where
the pupil's knowledge compared
very feebly with the excellent
grade received. But we hope
enough has been said to arouse an
interest and vigilance upon the
part of the parents to the urgent
necessity of lending their aid to
the board in demanding thorough
scholarship from grade to grade.
The excellent grade received by
children in the public fchaol has
