der to induce one to seek good edaca-
tion for the purpose Of teaching there
must be prospect for obtaining a rea-
sonable salary. Few can live on lsss
than $3.50 a year, or $50 a month for
eight months, which is some induce
rnen.; bnt in the country they have
not the money to hire competent teach
ers. Those who haven't the money
want the school, but these who have it
do not want the school, many Of :hern
sending their children to the city. We
want the money spread out through the
country, and not centercd in the city
for the support Of Colleges and high
schools until we are sufficiently wealthy
for that. Do not believe anyone should
be allowed to have higher education at
public expense. Send a young man
through college and when he comes out
he IS good for nothing. He needs
something practical
Prof Selwood favored giving . per-
son a good business education and then
going 70 farther. Had been through
college but now could not say the Greek
alphabet. A common school education
IL sufficient.
Snp't. Riggler ~as glad to learn that
the Cincinnati riot was caused by the
high school system. Am in favor of
the high school. Tie object Of educa-
tion is 70 make I good citizen. How
much IS necessary, is the question. Be-
lieve it is the duty of every one to OBJ
tain a good education. 1t is foolish
ness TO say anyone Was ever szindled
by obtaining a good education. We can
not be educated too well.
Prof. A. F. Hirschner believed in the
high school system. We need good
education TO make cool citizens. The
common school does not educate one
sufficiently to make good business msu.
Prof. Courtney was in favor Of both
If We could support them, but if We had
TO dispense with one it should be the
high school. Believed the common
school fitted one for life We can not
ofiord higher school in Oregon.
! Many in the country are denied even
the common school education, because
there Is not the money.
Prof W A. Egan, of jefferson ag,eed
with all the speakers. Believed that If
We educated children in the common
schools it would be an incentive for
them 70 90 higher. Every effor. of the
state should be thrown into our CON-
mon schools.
: Prof Moses thought The evil of ad-
: vanced education grows out of the
= wealth and not the education. The
trouble of college graduates is not that
, they do not know anything but that
! they think no one else does.
Miss Lizzie Cornelius, of Turner's,
opened the subject, DAILY Duties Of
Teachers" In the frat place the
! teacher should be competent. The
: teacher should be al school at q certain
: hour. close at certain hour, have q
= program before the Papils. The teacher
should explain lesson to the point.
! Do no: preach too much. Would have
the class do as much of the work as pos
sible, not working an example herself,
r The teacher should simply direct. There
must BE order. While one class Is
marching to their seat another should
be going to its lesson. Do not srumbls
I Arrange work systematical. The teach
or should be moral. Respect the feel
ingS of the pupils. Make few promises
> and keep all. Do not perpetually grow
o at your scholars. Love your scholars, 70
: children love those who love them, nat
: urally. Do not become SO amiable as :,
a be good Tor nothing.
