of the heart they contract with the
trustees for twenty days to the month
and grumble continually because wages
are so low. No effort is made by them
to advance in knowledge because one
does not need thorough education to
teach common school. They take no
interest in educational meetings because
it costs too much to get to the place
where they are held. The schools
languish under their care and every
body is glad when the lazy teachers
qualifications have fallen so far back
that certificate is refused him and he
is no longer able to "keep school," AZ
ter looking at these two varieties of
teachers it is pleasant to think that
there are many persons under whom
the schools flourish, children learn rap
idly, and the profession is made respect
able. They are partly composed of
those whose tastes and inclinations
draw them to this vocation; they teach
school because they like it better than
anything else; the society of children
is pleasant to them; their place of chief
delight is the school room and they are
never happier than when they have a
knotty question to explain to a class of
eager listeners, or demonstration to
give to agroupe ofanxious, enthusiastic
students.
They do not grumble on account of
wages, because if not satisfied wher e
they are, their peculiar talents will
open better situation to them some
where else. They continually rise. In
fact, the only trouble about them is,
that they are continually wanted else
where, and it is exceedingly difficult to
keep them in particular place. Akin
to this class but a grade higher is that
composed of individuals who teach be-
cause they think it their duty. Incli-
nations, desires, the sproffer of an in
creased salary or the advantages Of a
better school house will not compel or
induce them to forsake their occupation
or their particular position. Be-
cause they think it their duty, they will
live on the scantiest fare to make their
wages suffice. For the same reason
they are continually studying that
they may present their pupils with
something new every day, They are
better than the former class for they
can always be found in the one neigh
borhood, as they considered it their
duty to remain there. Is the salary
low? 1t is as high as the Trustees can
give and they think the school should
not suffer on that account. Are the
children uninteresting? So much the
greater reason then that a faithful
| teacher should remain there.
Happy is the district, rich is the
school that has such a teacher and speed
the day when all our schools shall be
filled with representatives of the last
two classes.
