Miss Kaue Cameron left this week for ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Home and school may be mutually helf)ful by cultivating the disi-osiuons of boys and girls, The inspired admonition to parents, ‘‘provoke not your children to wrath," might be addressed to the teachers with equal propriety. In home and school provocation to " wrath " are of frequent occurrence. That the disposition or temper, is susâ€" ceptible to education is scarcely made a .-‘ublk*ct of thought. Many parents and teachers act as if they discredited the words, "Temper is one half of Christianity." Yet the words are true. The best time to train this disposition is in early life and the best place to do it is in home and school. The public scarcely realize how much our schools are Lindered bly the wldesrrend disregard of this specialty in families. Multitudes of pudpils come from homes in which little effert is made to conâ€" trol temper. _ Even where unusual intelligence characterizes its members there is often a wretched lack of harmony. Parents fret and scold, and the children imitate them and home is turned into a nest of quarrelsome birds. Schools must harbor both the born and the inborn spirit of rebellion and make the best of it. The help and hindrance of t.:\s matter must be duly considered, and appreciaâ€" ted. The virtue of obedience cannot be overâ€"rated In home and school it is an absolute condition of efficient work and eminent success, It is to be sought and insisted on before the nlghnbet. gramâ€" mar or arithmetic. As obedience lays the foundation of syminetrical character and true l.roprcss. so disobedienee disorganizes character, hinders proâ€" gress, and invites certain failure, j It is quite certain that John‘s parents did not assist the school by their family government. They furnished one idle, ignorant, unruly boy to annoy the teacher and render his government more difficult. But Henry‘s mother coâ€"operated with the teacher for the â€"highest good of ‘u-r son and the school. This incident illustrates now one home helps school, while another hinders, by requiring or not requiring obedience. . There is no doubt Henry‘s home was as much benefitted by the school as the school was by the home. On the other hand, it is a question whether John‘s home was at all improved by the school while it is cerâ€" tain that the school was injured by his home. Henry leaves the room crying; John leaves it laughing. In less than one hour Henry returns with this message from his very excellent and faithful mother: Mother sent me back and told me to tell you that she had punished me for my disobedience, and to ask your forgiveness, and Yromiso to obey you hereafter," "1 forgive you, lenry," says the teacher; "take your seat and let me tell you that you can never love and respect your good mother too much." «But John dees not put in his appearance till next day, and then about twenty minutes late. The teacher stops him on the floor and inquires before the school : John, what did your parents say to you?" _ Nothin," was his reply. "Did you tell them that you were sent home for misconduct?" _ * Yes, Sir." Did they not reprove you for‘it and advise you to do better?" beut rntulic? A tat Aadh itc d iubhudeeP . N dudin® st s 4 uio uP " They didn‘t say nothin." * Then John," said the teacher, "the next time you violate the rules of the school I will administer the punishment which your parents ought to have inflicted yesterday." An illustration is at hand. _ Two roguish pupils sit side by side. Repeated eorrection brings no relief from their Yorsistcnl mischief. Knowing the parents very well, the two families being at the amil-odes in regard to governmentâ€"â€"the teacher resolves to try the experiment of sending them home for the next misdemeanor. On the following day, about the middle of the forenooi., an opporâ€" tunity occurs for the trial, " John and Henry," the teacher exclaims, *"put up your books and go home." This unexpected command rather startles thein at first, and they look up with surprise, as if to learn whether they understood correctly, or to see whether the teacher meant what he said. When the command is repeated Henry appears frightened, but John smiles clear back to his ears. 1t is evident at once, that the punishment is well (-hglvn for Henry, but the poorest kind possible for John. Home and school become mutually helpful by rexfiliflng and cultivating obedience. Disobedience at home does not tend to obedience at school : Neither does loose government in school increase the sririt of obedience at home. Children, also, who learn from parental lips that strict conformity to the rules of tixe school is indispensable, enter it with selfâ€"respect and reverence for teachers, such as never appear where instructors are objects of suspicion or antagonism by parents. On the other hand, pupils who receive no higher coonceptiouns of home by attendance at schoolâ€"no lessons tnat magnify the mission of mrents and the filial duties of childrenâ€"do not become more obedient sons and daughters in consequence of their school opportunities. There ought to be complete harmony between home and school, and therefore mutual helpfulâ€" ness. _ One should directl{ promote the interests of the other. Necessarily they must influence each other. ‘Their interaction ought to be beneficial to both, and it would be if both were conducted according to the divine plan. Instead of this, howâ€" ever, one often interferes with the true mission of the other. Home furnishes bad boys to disturb and destroy the highest function of school ; and the latter often half does the work it is pledged to perâ€" form, or perhaps does not do it at all. â€" ‘Thus the good influence of both is perverted or circumscribâ€" e«ja and society suffers a loss that cannot be estimaâ€" ted.
