CHEAP TEAcuERs-A few teachers uf
Linn county in order to get schools have
been guilty Of undertaking. At the re.
cent district institute at Brownsville the
question was asked as To what should be
done with teachers who take schools by
undertaking, and It was decided, on the
spur Of the moment, TO hang them. Then
IL was thought this weuld make them too
prominent and II would be better TO ex.
clude them from the institute, at leaat
refuse TO notice them when they do at.
tend. and show them they have nothing in
common with teachers A person Mhe
will take school for less than the estab-
lished price, Is unworthy to be recognized
as member OF the fraternity and should
be rclcgated to that obscurity where he
justly belongs. This was the verdict OF
the teachers.
