One Teacher can ae-
complish and frequently docs accomplish, two,
three, or even four times as much in the same
term, as another. There are probably few
calllngs or professions in which there is so
great difference and yet, in many districts,
Directors overlook this important fact ard
pay old and young, scholar and ignoramus
the same salary.
Two teachers are employed, perhaps in ad-
joining schools, has taught several wears
aud processes skill and fine scholarship
other is boy or girl fifteen or sixteen years
old, teaching for the iirsttime, and Just sehol-
ar enough to get the worst certificate issued.
Both, however, are paid the same salary.
Such instances are still common in the coun-
try, and directors, by this miserable policy,
have done the school system immense injury.
If they pay boys and girls s.as much as men
and women; if they value extreme youth,
bad scholarship, and total inexperience as
highly as mature age, good scholarship, and
long experience, they put merit at discount
and offer a premium for ignorance. The
poorly qualified teacher has no incentive to
improve and the well qualified will seek em-
ployment in other districts or in other eoun-
ties where they are better appreciated.
In some districts, however, a different course
IS pursued and with the best results Teach
ers are paid according to their qualifications.
Different methods of doing this, prevail in
different districts. In some districts, the best
teachers are put into the most important
schools and paid more than teachers of those
less important. In others, certain price per

A '.JoAK Our neighbor of the Gazette

the last political campaign. We have few
items of the same sort, of which we present
the following: One of the orators of the Dem
ocracy in haranguing the the good people OF
Colerain on the epolitical issues involved in the
canvass, spoke of the unison and harmony
that existed between Andrew johnson and
the Democratic party on the important policy
OF ReCousITucGiou, dHU upUu dIt OUnCI- fTtaI
questions. Indeed Andrew johnson was as
good Democrat as ever. He then referred
in eloquent terms to the arbitrary arrests, cruel
imprisonments ndillegal military commissions
that had marked the course of the administra-
ton. Why, broke out the orator with great
fervor; ''they ven lately hanged poor wo-
mani who hanged herr asked a shril /
voice in the crowd. The blushing orator was
silent. The awkward pause was filed by
the same voice, "Andrew Johnsonl" This
was at least one vital question upon which
there seemed to be some slight disagreement,
and our speaker continued his way to South.

habit of asking such troublesome questions.
