SEVERAL districts have complained to
us that the teacher was too conceited.

wise, rich, or righteous. keep such
opinion to yourself.
THERE was very interesting Asso-
citation at Hammond, st. Croix county
last Saturday. Miss Josie Hadley and
Jabeg Smith, formerly of Pierce, took
part. The former had al appointment.

legged cause of his failure is Incidence.
Many patrons have taken their chill

A GOOD teacher, three terms expert
ence. can be obtained very reasonably
provided she can give music lessons in
part for her board, or otherwise.
Write for her address with probable

ADDIE EVERETT, who lately closed a
term at Beldenville, is an example of
what energy, vivacity, and entire free
dom from Incidence can do to attain
success, where even experience is not
always successful. Every faculty
bent to the work with enthusiasm, and
methods skillfully adapted to the Cir

School in district No. 2, town of Gill
man, closed June 28th with the at
tendence of 40 scholars. The closing
exercises were spelling down, letters,
composition and declarations. Twen-
ty visitors were present. Each schol-
al received a little picture book for
good behavior during the term.
Miss Isaacson's school closed last Fri

THE George White district, joint Sa-
lem and Union, has fine school-house,
seats, and teacher, viz, Fanny Thorn
as. History is taught by the combin-
ed tabulation and topical method, and
her primary arithmetic classes have
an abundance of written work, and are
hence successful. Another omen of
success, is her entire devotion to
school work. constant study, out of
school, to devise proper methods, by
means of which she may attain to her
very high standard of success. She
consults her conscience. Do likewise.
STATE SUPP. WHTFoRD said that he
deprecated the disposition in some
quarters to lower the wages of teach
.ers, as the tendency of such a course
is to drive the most competent from
the profession. A person who can
succeed in the school room, has talent
and energy enough to succeed else
where. Several In Pierce county are
entering other professions who are a
credit to the county.
There are graded schools which we
could name, under similar conditions,
in which difference of fifteen dol
lars per month in the wages, has made
q difference in the pupils progress, of
year or more, in the various grades
of the two schools. There are very
few, if any, of the very best teachers
who need to take starvation wages.
If you get the cheapest teachers, it is
always the case that your children
will be behind others of the same age
in another school.
