CHAPTER XL.
PEDAGoGUEs' PARADISE.

PEDAGOGUES PARADISE.
The district schools of Loreland were
all graded schools. Each had from fifty
to seventy-ive pupils. Each had at least
two teachers; one male and one female
All the teachers of certain grade receiv-
ed certain salary, from the state, which
was in some cases increasedSby the dis
trict in order to secure the services of a
favorite teacher or one of more than ordi-
nary ability. The teachers were employ
ed by the district boards but the selec-
tions must be approved by the inspector
who was also member of the examining
board. Those teachers who had taught
successfully for a specified time were Civ
en- permanent certificates and so long as
they remained in the service of the state
no denominations were required except
to raise the grade of the certificate or de-
termine the standing in additional branch
es.
The head teacher of each school lived
near the school house in a building and
on grounds provided by the state. To
ornament and keep the grounds and
buildings in repair was charge upon the
district. The teacher employed his spare
time in taking care of the premises, part
ly for the sake of recreation and exer-
else but more especially on account of
pride in the surroundings and the profit
to be derived from the orchard and gar
den. 1t may be well to say that teachers
were employed for term of years, were
often re-employed and had, therefore,
considerable interest in the permanency
and success of the establishment.
McGinty was gratified but not greatly
surprised to learn that most teachers were
able to support themselves, and their
families too if they had any, by the exer.
else of their calling. Indeed, incredible
as it may seem to the teachers of less en-
ightened countries, the teachers Of Lore
land were not compelled to run into debt
between terms or hunt employment at
other work In order to keep soul and body
together.
There are always exceptions to general
conditions. Some teachers broken down
In health, or aged having served the
state during the most valuable part of
their lives we're placed on the retired list
with part pay. McGinty and the in
spector visited the Teachers Home. This
was an institution provided for retired,
sick or infrm teachers but they were un-
der no obligations to live there unless
they chose to do so.
To sum up the advantages Of the school
system of Loreland we conclude that the
general government provided a good
school in each district but wisely left the
power to make it better or even the best
school, in the hands of the patrons who
should not be deprived of all Of the re-
sponsibility. The teachers calling was
raised to the dignity of profession caps-
bic OF providing its votaries with COM
potency.
There are yet stranger things in Lore
land.

CHAPTER z.
THE SCHOOLS OF LoRELAND.

THE SCHOOLS OF LORELAND.
Nc Ginty discovered so much difference
between the school system of Loreland
and that of any other country he had ever
seen that he determined to investigate it
fully and the result of that investigation
is here given in the hope that it may
prove both pleasant and profitable read
ing.
In the first place the school buildings
were paid for by state or general tax
augmented by local tax where the voters
chose to do so. The buildings were also
insured blythe state. The general plan
OF the buildings must be approved by the
state architect and Board of: Education.
Each school possessed library located
in an adjoining room. The nucleus of
this library was furnished by the state.
Additional books, text books, apparatus,
furniture and incidentals we're furnished
by local tax in quantity and quality &C
cording to the public spirit and ability of
the voters to pay for them. There was a
uniformity of text books throughout each
inspectors or supervisory district. 1t was
not thought safe to attempt uniformity
on a larger scale. There was also uni
formity in the length of school terms in
the different districts and the dates of be-
ginning and ending. At the close of each
school year the inspector held an exami-
nation of all pupils in his supervisory
district who had completed the prescribed
course Of study. No pupil was allowed
to quit school.until receiving his diploma.
Attendance and good standing at any
other than the public schools could not
excuse him. If he attain his majority be-
fore receiving his certificate the privilege
of franchise was withheld from him.
