end. In this partnership there are profits
and losses, and they should all share in
| them. The one who had received profit
| and been a successful teacher should re.
veal the means of his attaining to it.
Those who had the losses should not col
ceal them, but by discussing them receive
advice how to improve.
The teachers of the Institute should also
make an effort to gain the cooperation and
sympathy Of the members OF the professions
in this town and elsewhere. There were
hundreds OF educated men in this town who
| should be draw into their Institute. The
success OF any school depends upon the
sympathy Of the community in the school.
Men and women who do not come volun-
tarily must be brought TO the Institute.
The community may get along without the
teachers-though he hoped it would never
come to such a pass as that-but the
teachers cannot get along without the
sympathy OF the community. The speaker
repeated his expressions OF welcome to his
audience and was loudly %applauded as he
retired.
Professor Brantly came forward to re-
spond. He was embarrassed by the posi-
ton in which Mr.. Groeneveld had placed
him, and hardly knew how to commence.
AS he toiled up the hill from Black Tail
creek, be must confess he thought he was
receiving a cold welcome, but when he got
to the hotel, and found the committees and
County Superintendent all ready and anx-
ious to find them out and give them the
warm handshake of welcome, he did not
see how it could be construed as q
cold welcome. And when he saw
the pleasant rooms provided for
them and enjoyed the Inequalities of some
OF the citizens during the afternoon his
conclusions as to the warmth Of the well
come awaiting them all we're strengthened.
Butte did not then look so cold a place as
when he toiled up from Black Tail creek.
He would have to represent the people of
Butte and leave the teachers unrepresented
as he felt it devolved on him after enjoying
these Inequalities to defend the
citizens of Butte from the asper-
sions OF his predecessor. They
were grateful even for che
cold welcome of Mr.. G%roeneveld. Butte is
a busy town; the pursuits OF it's people are
mainly material. It was a necessity of
their condition that they have not time to
| come out and give the members of the In
| stitute a warm welcome. But he could
not say the people of Butte are destitute
of that warm welcome they expected when
they came here.
Mr.. Brantly then enlarged on the char
acter of the work of the teacher and the
high standard of character it calls for.
From the very character OF their work
teachers are entitled to welcome when
they go into any community. They de-
vote themselves to their work at q nomi-
nal price; they are poorly paid. II their
compensation were fixed according to the
actual work they would be the
best paid class in the country.
Take away the teachers work
and the future welfare of the
country would be destroyed in great meas
ure. He spoke OF the family where the
foundation of morality slould be taught
to the young, but asserted that teachers
perform many duties that ought to be per-
formed at the Preside. 1t is easy TO see
that the welfare OF the country depends
largely on the teachers. 1t is easy to say
that the great lessons of honesty, virtue
and morality ought to be taught at the
fireside, but as a matter of fact
ers themselves that they are not.
These lessons have to be learned often in
the school room. All the instruction that
many a child gets in the amenities of social
life it gets in the school room. The ragged
urchin OF to-day may some day develop
into one OF the leading men OF his age. The
work they did for him will tell some time.
Therefore he said that the work OF the
teacher is the most important of any pro-
fesslon in the country and if paid by the
measure OF that work in any community it'll
deserved the highest enumeration.
Fo this he said that when a teacher goes
any community he has a right to feel |
entitled to welcome. He did not wish to |
be understood as speaking in any offensive |
sense. In saying that he felt they were
entitled to welcome he felt none the less |
grateful for the treatment he had received, |
and as he was there to speak the sentiments |
OF the rest OF his fellows, he felt he repeated |
the sentiment of every teacher present.
Inc speaker was a%pplauded as he con-
Guided and often in the course of his re-
Professor Wylie announced the formal
proceedings at an end, and after some time
spent In social intercourse the meeting end
I'd.
