It is an old-fashioned notion that parents ought to rear their children; that they ought to instruct their children in morals and religion, either at home or in their respective churches; that they ought to bring them up to habits of industry, and see that they are fitted to be self-supporting; and that the public schools were established "that learning might not be buried in the graves of the fathers."
It has now come to pass, despite the traditions of our Puritan ancestry and the influence of these schools and the churches, that there remain in society certain evils, such as intemperance, idleness, and inability on the part of some people to easily earn a livelihood. Accordingly, some of our benevolent fellow-citizens fancy that the remedy for all such evils lies in some modification of the public school system. One proposes the scientific teaching of temperance in the public schools as a cure for the vice of intemperance ; another desires to establish "annexes" to the pub- lic schools, for teaching boys and girls trades.
Without further discussing such propositions as these, it is to be remarked that whatever the public schools may do, and how- ever well they may do it, whether in their present field or over a broader territory, they will become an evil in so far as they create the impression that parents are thereby relieved of their responsibility. This feeling of relief is evinced by the very fact that the schools are looked to as a means of doing what parents were formerly expected to do.
It is surprising to note that, of the ten thousand pupils in the public schools, not one-tenth of the parents, probably, are per- sonally acquainted with the teachers, or ever consult with them about the peculiarities of their children ; and perhaps a majority of those who do so consult, are led to it because they have

occasion to find some fault. No pet horse or favorite dog would thus be left to the care of strangers. This is not because the parents are indifferent to their children; it is because they have an overweening confidence in the public schools. The honesty of purpose and the faithfulness of teachers generally, justifies great confidence in them; but they need the intimate co-operation of parents and they must have it to secure the best results.
Much as teachers and schools may do, there is vastly more which they must leave undone; and much of this work belongs to parents who can not escape their own responsibility. It needs to be said with emphasis, and it should be repeated on all occa- sions, that after all which schools can do, the parents mainly are to mould the next generation ; and the schools must not take the responsibility of doing entirely what belongs so largely to those parents.
