parents audwell meaning feel that they bava--dis- rhlrged their educational respons- minty to the children of the na- .io,. when they have paid their school taxes and elected their school boards. The education of the child in the world of today '5 far too complex a problem to we left entirely in the hands of the school boards. school adminis- tutors, and the teachers.

Two wars in a generation have brought us to the point where siccnce has produced an atomic hnmh tar peoples of the world uho struggle with their problems or human relations in much the same way that they have been carrying on for many years.

'i'he pattern of the school pro- .-...-ding independently of the peo- ple in the district is only too -nmmon. A partnership of the r.-hool and the people of the dis- rirt is essential if we are to achieve the maximum results for the welfare of the child and the nation as a Wh01t'- llany oi our schools in Canada nu: poorly equipped. inadequately staffed. and in need. of repairs. This condition will improve much more rapidly when a strong pub- lic opinion demands it. School

V Many rillzens

There are other advantages to this partnership. When Parent! and teachers get together, it makes possible more intelligent understanding by the teacher of the child's needs. his possibilities. and his limitations. It is true that we have many tests in our stlmnls today that serve to give us much of what we need to know about the school child. These do not, however. sub- -tilutc for conferences between linrrnis and teachers in which the host means for securing the max- imum'lnr the rhiid is discussed. Teachers do not know the whole tltild when they do not know the parents, the child's background. Hid his home.

rl'ne Cnll.er's Saturday Night" is one of l'iurns' best-loved poems. lis appeals are historic as well as literary. First. the poem illus- trates the growing romnniic in- it-rcst in the lives of simple folk. an interest that prompted the poet to write it. and a host of read- ers to rend it. Secondly. it echoes the romantic declaration-that the greatness of a state depends. not on the nobles, but on the peasants. Thirrliy. It emphasizes the truth that honesty. sobriety, and piety are personal characteristics rath- er than duties. Fourthly. it pleads for a personal patriotism. the kind that loves the "rocks nnti rills". the "woods and templed hills" of onc's native land. not for

IMPROVEMENT IN IDUCATION

SUPPORT OF PARENTS AND PUBLIC

officials cannot move faster than an enlightened public opinion will allow. If parents feel that other things in the community are in more need . of help than our schools. there is not much that any school board or group of teachers can do about it. . An enthusiastic and interested group of parents and public spir- ited citizens are in a position to influence school officials in need- ed reforms. This does not imply an interference with school ad- ministration but it does mean that the public will be more alive to the needs of our sehools when they are faced with them. School methods. are changing and parents and others need to know what these changes are and why they are necessary. When parents strive to help their chil- dren by teachlng them with ob- soiete and outworn methods, the schools are faced with added prob- lems in unlearnlng much that has been taught at home. This does not mean that parents should not help their children. There is enough trouble for the growing child without his being the vic- tim of a tug-of-war between the school and the home. '

TOWARDS AN INTELLIGENT UNDERSTANDING

part of this co-operation between the home and the school. The children of today are not facing the same problems that those of a generation ago were facing. There is therefore an urgent need for parents and the public to get together with the teacher for the welfare of the child. These meet- ings will make parents and teach- ers more acquainted with one an- otber and they are more likely to work better and to accomplish more when this is so.

Friction and petty problems can often be eliminated by a co-op- eration bt.-twccn the school and the members of the community. Problems peculiar to one family. should. of course, be solved in a private conference with the prin- cipnl. General meetings are not intended to be clearing houses for private squabbles.

Lastly. and best of all. it gives a vivid picture of the "plain liv- tng' and high thinking" that char- acterized Scottish farm life in Burns' day.

Though the main thread of the poem is narrative. the poet fre- quently takes occasion to intro- duce passages that are essentially reflective or lyric in purpose. In this respect also. -"The Cotter's Saturday Night" is romantic in mood as well as in method of treatment. ”The Cotter's Satur- day Night" is written in the Spenserian stanza.

The British also put an end to the practice of flogging laborers to make them work. They introd- uced the payment of wages for labor. The beneficial results of British management were seen in the increased production of farm products and the mounting rev- enues of the country.
