TEACHERS GREETING. There are
about hundred teachers here from
all over the comfy. And a right
fine looking intelligent crowd they
make. There is heavy enough
sprinkling of ladies to leaven the
whole mass. Teachers of Mononga-
& liza, we give you greeting. We take
off our hat to every one of you.
Yours is a right noble, worthy work.
A responsible, telling work. Right
worthily may You perform it. Your
salary is small compared with tue
magnitude of your labor. The school
term is too short and many Of the
sub. districts too large. But beds OF
roses ar not found in these hard
working, fast going days.
We would you have remember
that the NEW DOMINION is
heartily in sympathy with your
work and all educational mat
tiers whatsoever. 1t realizes the
dignity of your calling and the bur
den of your labor. 1t believes that
out of the public schools of the nation
there will spring up at last strong
right arm to save the Republic, and
that you are to-day helping to shape
and strengthen that arm, giving il
sinew and muscle.
