NJ. l.. RoBEY, G. G.. Williams, and
G. w. Mcintyre are studying medi.
cine and will soon leave the ranks of
the Pierce County teachers. We re-
greet that teachers of worth are oblig-
ed to seek other professions i'm order
to secure permanent employment and
fair pay.
Is it justifable to teach for money
Ii the school authorities keep ON low
ering salaries it will be not only not
justifable, but impossible to teach for
money. When that time comes, and
it is not far distant, the vocation of
teaching will be the most benevolent
on earth, not excepting the ministry.

G. w. YoUNGMAN, of Ellsworth, has
succeeded Mr.. E. Morton, of Belden-
VILE, as agent for the school furniture
manufactured by Hadely Bros. and
Kane, Chicago. We regard it as the
best in use, and school boards will do
well to see sample before purchas-
ing. The name of the firm has lately
changed and is now Thomas Kane &
Co., Chicago.
WE are always glad to correspond
with boards who wish to adopt books,
as it is for their interest to allow no
books of an inferior kind to creep in
to their list. Nearly every firm pub.
fishes some books which they now
concede are not the best, and hence
do not push them into new territory,
but sell to such as have them already
in use, but purchased and adopted
years ago when they were the best In
market.
PRoF. j. w. SrEARNs. lately of the

versity of Chicago until accepting the

TEACHERS will bear in mind that we
shall prepare questions in botany,
drawing, music, and elementary physi-
ology, for all third grade applicants,
and mark the standing of the candi-
date upon his certificate. We shall
also note upon each certificate wheth-
er the holder is member of the Lii
brary Association. Applicants will
also state under the head of s'Person-
ais what branches besides those le-
gally required, they can teach, if the
patrons desire it.. We shall subdivide
the "Terms of Experience" into SEX
perience in Graded Schools" and SEX.
perience in Common Schools" Note
these facts.
If any district board has adopted a
Il grammar, it will be binding for
three years. But there are many
schools in which grammar like Kerl's
or Browns will have no place for
years. 1t is the duty of such TO adopt
or cause in some way the pupils to
study Language Primer. Swinton's
is the one in general use. Such a
course in no way conflicts with pre-.
vious adoption of large grammar,
which will be needed in few terms
or years. Some of the districts in the
eastern part of the county will dc
well to note this. Circular No. 2, foi
district boards gives complete instruc
ton for procuring them, and they
should be in every school containing
primary pupils.
