DIRECTORS AND TEACHERS.

EDITOR RECORD: | noticed in your is.
sue Of 9th inst, an Article on schools ald
school tax which was the very thing, tho
some thought you was too early; that
those needing eXhortation on this subject
w0uld be apt to forget the injunction be-
fore the time rolls around. For fear they
DO act negligent | will offer few sugges~
tions in addition to the article referred to
and add some new thoughts.
In the first place there is no district in
the county that is not in need Of school
funds. The geason for opening the dis
triot schools will soon be upon US, and the
law has SO arranged the election day that
all have ample time to calculate, reflect
and act before the busy season for the
farmer arrives. For that matter, man
with family Of children to do for and
educate should naver be too busy to ats
tend an election at any time, especially 3
sch.ol election; and when to goes he
should 20 to work, Don't sit ground and
whittle, tell yarns or swap horses, not un'
til you have done all the good you can for
the youth Of the land. BE certain that
you are prepared to overcome the anti tax
element. If that is secure beyond doubt,
then 20 about the work 0f perguading
good, substantial men to accept posi-"
ITEMS as trustees Don't select & man who
is opposed to voting q special tax, Such
men, as g general thing are too ignorant
for anything; but if they happen to know
enough about business TO fill the Office, it
is detrimental to the cause Of free educa.
ton to honor such men with any Office.
If vou elect men as directors whose views
are in perfect harmony for the maintain
anCe of the public schools they wont be go
apt to hire the frat par boots and paper
collar that applies for a school, whether
he knows the governors name or not.
Now we are down to the teacher. |
think Sharp county has had great cross
to bear in this respect. 1t takes other
qualifications and qualities besides a
amatsering knowledge Of texs books, a
fopp;sh swaggsr when you walk, efront'
cry enough to smoke and swear in the
presence Of your elders, young man, to
niHkb u bCuUUl LebSuS1' AhSAV GU AuA
dreGs Of men who aro finished scholars
that know they could never make q suc-
cess teaching school. ] sincerely trust that
our new county superintendent will guard
we'll the interests Of the people and if ap-
plioants do not fill the measure in every
particular say to them "yOu have missed
your calling, and cannot turn you loose
upon the people. Although you seem to
have sufficient recollection to answer a

how many congressional, senatorial and

who represented the fFg!-named last year
and the names of the prosecuting attor.

this time. The people are getting tired Of
