allowed to be wayward at home well there is ample evi dence of lack of discipline some where take the average rural school and there are few where the property has been kept in good order the desks are badly scratched and even sadly carved with initials and other carvings the walls are marred outside and in and the fences scarcely ever in repair what is the teacher doing that these destructive habits are allow ed to go on does she not keep a vigilant eye over the situation can she not keep the pupils employed and so interested that these evils will not even be thought of then too many
