Mr.. Preston and the Schools.

1 Some Of the newspapers have ia
ken occasion TO criticIse Supsrin
tendent Preston on account of Tho
school law passed at the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature, basing theil
criticisms upon the character o1
questions furnished county supcrin-
/ tendents for the examination oi
! teachers, which examinations were
recently held. This is quite natu.
! raj. The teachers were the first tn
complain and of course their com
| plant bad its influence upon their
friends and caused them to believe
the teachers were carried through a
species OF persecution. " henrVer
public sentiment is against a law it
is well nigh made imperative, aud
that sentiment has always been
against our free school system no
one will pretend to deny, which has
resulted diSastrOusly To our educa-
tlonal interests. One of the great
drawbacks to our school system has
been that tue standard for teachers
has been too lew, enabling almost
any one To Obtain q certificate,
thereby placing upon the rolls a
vast number of teachers who were
Cnly sufficiently qualified to draw
second grade pay, forcing others
who were qualified to command
good salaries TO Withdraw. In
many instances the low salary Of a
teacher was paramount TO qualifica-
tion-cheapncss, not quality, was
tue rnle. Thinning out the teachers
TO a stand will have no effect in re
dncing the term of any public
school, but will give those who have
stood crcdilable examinations long
er employment. They will not
teach u school four months and be
out Of employment, but can teach
Que school for the term allowed by
law, and then take another.
Mr.. Preston is endeavoring to
raise the standard Of education
higher, and the line marked out bv
him is bound to meet with approval,
and little CO operation on the
part of teachers and patrons will
make the public schools a popular
feature of our government. Tn
der the present law it is made
the duty OF the county superintend
ent to visit schools in person,
which will have a salutary effect.
saving hundreds Of dollars to the
county, and at the same time in
fuse the patrons, trustees, teachers
and pupils with enthusiasm, and
awaken a new life generally and
greater interest iE education. There
is nothing wrong with the law. We
have been accustomed SO long to
loose, slip-shod system. that there
is an inclination all along the line
TO kick when an effort is made to
raise us out Of the ruts, although
we know it to be our best interest.
Mr.. Preston is strongly seconded
in this county by Capt, Burch,
and after calm consideration,
most of the teachers now endorse
his efforts and do not complain
so loudly Of the law. We ueed to
educate ourselves up to a good
healthy sentiment in favor of pub
lie schools, and we can then more
fully appreciate the advance step
taken by Mr.. Preston.-Signat Co.
