Teachers Shiykings.


Teachers, before receiving Ger.
titicate, promise in their personals.
as understand it, that they will Till
out all blanks furnished by the County
Superintendent, and answer all ques-
tions regarding school work to the
best of their ability; Furthermore,
that they will leave for their successor
class program and the standing OF
each pupil. How many teachers ever
do this workl | have taught seven
terms of school in some of the leading
towns of the county, and as yet have
not had so much as program left for
me by my successor to aid me i'll or
ganizing my school. In opening my
winters school, | was greatly sur
prised to find no program of the sum-
mer's school as my predecessor was a
young lady who was educated at a
normal school where the aim is to do
al school work and to do it aceH. These
are little things, but by not doing
them much time is wasted each year
in opening school.
After the first term we frequently
try to shirk first one duty and then
another. BY so doing we make it ten
fold more difficult for our successor,
cause the school clerk much unneces-
sary trouble and annoyance, and cause
our State school statistics to be in
complete and unreliable.
The great school question of to-day
is that of systematizing our school
system, work in which each teacher
should be in earnest. But how many
of us are Sinking our duty in this
matterl Now, as teachers, should we
not be ashamed of ourselves if we have
not purpose strong enough to do all
