DUIIIMICIL o,t,rnoper siMILS. • IMI If childrer are often absent they will fall - behind their - class-rtiates in the ir stu dies, and Onsequently, lose much-of their interest intbem, and-perhaps, acquire an actual dislike for school arid all its exer cises. Of irfecessity most of the instruc-: Lion 'in large schools must Ire given to whole clasSes and not to individual schol-, ars.- Yout children receive their school, knowledge in this way. It is very. essen tial for the progrois-of a class, and its in dividnal members,Ahat no scholar be ab sent trent4 a single recitation—for, Ire quently, the loss of a single lesson may, impair a scholar's interest and advbco-; ment for *whole term. Let me take an, instiire,e to' illustrate thiS. I hay.e a class' in Aritkmetic, and it is often• necessary; for me to explain some principles, the (dear unde*tanding of which by 'the pupil will serve as a key to subiereut lessons.: To-day I occupy some time in explaining some, prinOples to a class of twenty, of Whkh your child is l'utetitber, but, un-; fortunately an absent one. To-morrow he comes to school, but is unable to compre., bend and =perform the exercises of the . day, on.aceountef his absence the previ ous day.. 'What therefore must be done? Certainly one tivo'things.. I must ei they devote time and strength which he long td th 4 whole school, (and which the School needs,) and repeat the:explanations given in his absence, or I must leave hint to grope 3tlOng id the dark, as best he can;.. and, probably to become disgustO with his school and its Studios. lie will not on- $503,00C. !good-company in , t. tore are among Ip droop hituaelf, but., will exert a wither ing, disheartening influence upon the whole school. And is it not true that a teacher's 'ability and deVcition are often called in question on account of a. want of iuterest sad progress in scholarsi- when .VC L. 19. 4$L MONTROS.E,'PA.,.TUEBDAY, DEC. 16,;1862. 043 true and sole 'cause for suck indiffer ence and lingnishirig, is to bis traced to their frequent absence, Is it also true, that truantisrn, that most tiernicione 'and destructive habit, sometimes has its ori gin, in the trivial importance which is at tached to constancy of attendance, as man ifested in- the slight entities which occas-- ion absence, and by which children are in . - ilueed to believe that the loss of a school day is no cionsequeimet:Jfjthis is el/pr. the -case, let, the dangers that cluster around the 'truant's path—dangers !with ' er few nor ethall r - - urge you Serimisly to reflect, and wisely and seasonably to - -act.. But I haVe leave.,this head for your more extended consideration, and, proceed to notice one or two prominent objections to - unseasonable 'attetidanee • this I will do -with much brevity. ° • children' are allowed to be tardy in their _attendance at' school, thiii - will be prone to undervalue punctuality in other affairs.. Children 'should be, t aught to look upon their school-rooln as their work shop—the place of business for them, and no concern 'of secondary nature should be allowed to interfere in the leak degree.. It is extremely desirable that you Impress strongly upon the minds of yeur children w the fact, that what isorth 'doing at,all,- should 'be done welt and at the proper time.' Teach them that punctuality in the discharge of every duty lit of the highest itimokance=--and if you train them to ob serve it punctiliously in relation to their school,. they will be likely•to do the same in everyduty of subsequent life. In this way they will form a habit of inestimable value. . But I haVe considered the habit of un seasonable—attendance only in relation to its*effect upon" him . who tresspasses. I will.briefly allude to another objection to . that habit, which is, that children who en ter the -school-room at a late hour, inter rept the order of the school, and interfere with some Tossing. • exercises, .in which, perhaps, they should have a part; Thus a ,whole school is often made to -stiffer fro' the deviation of a few. In. some schools much time is actually lost on.etich half of the day by the dilatoriness of sotne • individual members. You have doubt less, noticed the, effect-upon a congrega tion at church, caused by the late en trance of persouS, and I will leave this point by merely suggesting the analogy between the two to your own 'mind—be ing-convinced that-due reflection will in duce you to regard-the whole Matter in its true light, and act accordingly. Before closing this subject, i will call .your attention to one more evil, similar m its -ellects to that' we have just consid ered. allude to the habit of 'leaving school before the regular "hour of dismis sion. • Children very often bring notes re -questing their disfinssion at early hour, and if all such requests, in some schools, should be complied- with,' the exercises of :the last - hour would be constantly inter rupted by these who should thus !ewe.. I wish now to suggest a-few other par ticulars in which I, earnestly and respect= fully, solicit your hearty. coZ)peration.:— When you send your children to school it is your wish, doubtless, that they make much improvement as possible. That 'they may do so they need all the encour agement and ussistance which our united efforts and wisdom• can render. Ifeither of us is negligent or indifferent, the child ren must suffer for. it. I will proceed therefbre to designate a few of the points in which 'you can do your children good, and greatly aid me in'. the discharge of my school duties. 2. Lncourntte your children to respect and obey the rules and. requirements of their tender.. This is highly necessary for their prop er advancement and happiness while at schciol. Induce them to look upon their instructor as their and your friend, and to regard all his regulations as designed for their good. If in any of my arrangements, or in the execution of my plans, you shall `think have erred, or that your children have Aufferea, or been neglected, you will confer . a favor by, making known to me, freely, your feelings or apprehensions.— Cothe in the spirit of kindness, and I will promise to receive you kindly, and an swer every reasonable inquiry. I may sometimes err; it will be stratigi if I do ,not. Perhaps you\feel that yon sometimes, misjudge, or act unwisely in the manage ment. of your _own children. Will you consider that I am called upon to control and. instruct the collected families of the neighborhood ? I have under my care a multitnde, whose home influences - and dis cipline are wideirdifferent.l The children from, no two families are alike. Yet they must be waited and governed as one large family. Sonic are mild, kind,- an& affectionate- ever - anxious to know and ready to 444 every wish of:their teacher; while` otheis are rough, unci'mrteous, and' • obstinate ; 'apparently most pleased when they are doing wrong, intertypting the schoOl, and annoying their iiniftructor.—: These opposite character's end elements actually exist in most schools,. and it would be wonderful, indeefl, if ; teachers could decide and act upon every occasion and in every emergency,. inl such manlier as to meet universal approyal I feel that I may sometimes do wrcmi. Let us re member that "to err is hnman—to for 'give, divine."- But' so long as you have sufficient confidence in the school and its operations, to Induce you to send your children, let• me beseech , You to teach them to regard every - rule and requisition with conscientious strictnesS. , lii this way -you may do much for me 'and • much for them. If you hear report's from. your • children, (and this should, be done with much caution,) or otherwise; reflecting 1 upon the management of - the school or treatment of individual menibers, do riot too readily confide in anion hear. If, however, you ,really think -there is good ground for such reports, call, uptin me and ascertain 'ell "the partiolars, rememberifig - the somewhat trite sayings, that "there are_ two 'sides' to a question," and that "circurristancesidter cases."' If 'yoriptir sne this course "in the.'spirit of love and kindness, you will in most cases - find that • exaggerations and - perversion's have been made; sometimes, perhaps, intentionally, but more frequently from the misnintee: standing mlaconception- rougAr childhood. • - • 3. Uncoil age your children to be order ly, and studiously to regard'the right. Youth sr frequently tempted by the example of vicious associates to violate the rules of good behavior, and spend their time itl idle mischief or vain pursuits. As you (=apt always keep them removed from pernicious influence and depraved companions, do all in your power to form, in them-en bliorrence of all that is evil, and a deep regard for everything that is "lovely.and of , good report.' So train them that they may come in contact with vice withoi4 being contaminated; nay more than this, that their' own upright conduct and 'pure conversation may ,exert 'a salutary influence upon those who 'mani fest no lovelier virtuous acts. Improve every fit opportunity to bring before their mindsthe ruinous consequences of vicelind idleness, and at the same timq show them that " wisdom's Ways are-pleasantness and all her paths are peace." •Teach them to avoid trifling deviations—to do right at 1 all tittles and on all 'occasions, because it is right, and bemuse by so doing they will be more happy abdusefil. - i Teach them that it is better to "suffer wrong than to do wrong,", land that .the fact that wrong has been done to them, is no reason Why - they should; do wrong in. 'return: Tell them that kindnesS will allay wrath, and that it is mere noble and manly to return "good for evil," than to give "reviling for reviling." - As you meet your children-at the close of the day, improve a few minutes in con versing with them respecting the manner in which they have spent the day.- Ask them to reflect and consider if they have not done some works which "need to be repepted of," and direct them to-the au thor of their 'existence for pardon, and to the fountain of all wisdom forfnture gui dance and support. Then may you hope to ' it ee them become an honor and bles sing to you and to the community. 4. , Encourage your children to be studi ous by manifesting en interest in their • lessons. Improve every suitable occasion to con verse with them concerning their studies, and do all you can to convince thein that the more diligent'anif faithful they are now, the brighter will be their prospects for future usefulness and happinesS. Do all in your power to inspire them with a love for knowledge as a source of gratifi cation. and improvement.. In the morn ing, enjoin upon them the importance of diligence during the hour of school, and at night inquire respecting•the studies of the day, and ascertain what new ideas have been acquired, what facts have' been stored up, what ditlicultiesovercOme.. In duce them to examine; to investigate, to think:. In a word, do all you can to cause them to feel the Went advantages of edu cationand the necessity for pa iient, open cation to obtain it. Yoti will thus in terest and cause them to regard] with pleLure, exercises that would otherwise appear dull and. unimportant. 5. Improve every occasion in visiting the school. • ,' • In thiS way you can do much to stimulate and cheer your children and their teach er. I da.not ask yon to come that you may assist in conducting the 'exercises of the school—but come to see and to hew, and tints give some real evidence that y6ll feel an interest in the subject of education.— Children often attend school montif.after. month, and see no• parent ,within the room. .The teacher urges upoitteir con sideration the great value of knowledge day after day, and repeats his earnest de sire for their improvement, but often his words and interest are almost nentraliied 14 the indifference and-inattention of their dearest friends. They begin to think that education is of little consequenceiand that; it matters not whether they are industri ous.or idle. As they never see their parents within the school-room, they begin to think that the•teacher is the only person interested in their progress,_ and .that, he is so be, cause it is in the " - Way,of his business." Hence a teacher's injunctions and exam ple often fall, powerless. for the Want of the quickening influences of a parent's in terest, and a parent's endorsement. . If therefore you have never - been in the habit of viiiting yout children's school; let hie 'affectionately inifte yottic do so. ' It will increase your own interest' and re double theirs. Wheneveryou may have &leisure hour,*.will you not Come and spend it with your children, and. listen to their recitations? DependuPon it,'if you will adopt this habit; their•zeal and stndi ousness.• will be• greatly increased, and they will cheerfully apply • themselves to • their daily exercises, when they feel that 'their father or their mother may be pre*. sent when they are called'upou to recite. What child will not be ambitious to do well at such a tune? But Pinata leaVe this ' subject hoping that you will r I carefully consider' its importance. .6. Aid me in my endeavors to promote a spirit of kindness and forbearance. . Much of the unhappinesi and trouble of life come from a spirit of selfishness, a feeling that everything'inust yield to one's 1 own desires, regardless of time or eireAlm stances. It is sometimes the. Case that children are indulged_in, every 'real and imaginary i vessx, at home; and. when they go to school or elsew.liere,. they feel sadly .slighted .or injured, if they cannot enjoy similar indulgences. Such will meet with trouble and disappointment at every step. May we not then cooperate in eudeav: oring to train the_ ,young to regard.the rights and wishes of. others, and to treat I all with a truly kind and charitable spirit ? Shall we not do what we cary:to lead, them to seek. those things which will be promo five of their true good . and happiness, ra-, ther the indulgence ot,some.4. vorite notions or selfish wishes ?..May not inereaSe„their happiness . by lead'- ing theta to feel an interest. in the desires and rights of their associates t andsulfa . es to sacrifice their own wishes in 'Orderto gratify - and . oblige others? May we not lead,Lhetn'to feel that, it is often "More blessed, to give thin to receive," more conducive. to true happinesi todo a favor, than, it is.tp receive one,_ , ; • . , Allow me, in conclusion; le ask prior se. rio.usatteution'to the, paints I.haye: named,. belie,ving. as I do, that .in:mgardiug Ahern: you Will find a cheering g . ulattundtuit re-. ward' in the increased intereak of your children, and' their growth in knowledge and virtue. . *Ma Teacher's' Letter Is Intended int general circulation. and should boned hyereriparent in the land.
