Every teacher is accorded by law protection
from insult, when diseharging his duty.
1867. Any parent, guardian or other person,
who shall insult or abuse any teacher in the
presence of the school, shall be guilty of INSIDE
meanor, and be liable to a fine of not less than
| ten nor exceeding one hundred dollars.

1t is every teachers duty to so control himself
and, if possible, possess the ability to manage
others.
The teacher may demand and expect of the
parents that they second and cordially support
his efforts in everything that tends to the most
complete training of his pupils; that they Judge
his actions neither hastily nor harshly; that
they possess themselves of the facts in all cases
before passing sentence of condemnation upon
| him. Finally, the community has come to feel
that the public school teacher of the present
day should be something more and something
better than the common run of humanity. We
believe II IS good thing, for the child at least
to have such an idea of his teacher. Hence
every teacher has right to the respect of the
community in which he laboIs, and it is his
duty TO so control his own conduct and habits
that his example and everyday walk life
shall say to people among whom he resides,
You may not like me, but you shall respect
