The matter with our school system is that
teachers are valued according to their liter
arg examinations aud the character q
the work they do, not according to the ex.
aggerated estimates placed upon their abl'
ities by relatives and partial friends that
we have adopted the common sense and
business like plan of appointing new teach
ers at minimum salary, and increasing it
year by year as their experience IN our
schools mot in county schools which are en-
tirely different in organic stion and methods
of teaching) increases, aud that We act upon
the principle that when we have competent
young ladies born aud educated in our
midst, especially those trained in our own
schools. there is no need of going outside Of
our own community for teachers. II any
are dissatisfied with their pay and with the
Accommodations with which others have
worked on for years, their designations
must, OF course. be accepted bot there
need be no fear OF injury to the sys.
tenn from their retirement. We have pen-
ty of competent teachers among us who
