There is another serious evil, which works great mischief, if it does not entirely destroy the usefulness of a school, and which has heretofore been noticed in our reports. If the teacher is un- popular, or fails in government, the children are withdrawn, or
16
permitted to leave the school. This is unwise, to say the least. If a child is ambitious to learn, he can gain much in a poor school, and should not be removed therefrom. If he has no rel- ish for his books, that is a good reason why he should be kept at school, else he will be deprived of the means of knowledge which the school furnishes. He can get little learning to fit him for use- fulness in the streets, he may gain much from the recitations of other children in the school. The committee would not knowing- ly retain an incompetent teacher.
In case contagious disease gets into a school, let those afflicted be kept at home, and not let the school be broken up, or the ap- propriation fail to accomplish its end. In no case should well children be deprived of the opportunity of learning furnished them at the public expense.
