Our schools.

Extract from Report of M. j. Hap
good Supt. of Peru Schools.
How can we obtain good teachers?
First. By electing committee men who
have personal interest in the schools
and know what a good teacher is and
how to procure one and, when engaged
will back that teacher fully when she
is trying 10 do her duty.
To procure a good teacher it is nee
essary to knoao who you are hiring, if
possible be personally acquainted. The
principle is a wrong one that we must
90 out of town for about all of our
teachers. Our motto should be Peru
girls for Peru schools. Often times
young girls are bro ught in from outside
for our teachers who have no standing
whatever at home. Experience is the
only thing that will decide whether
teacher is competent. Attendance at
academies and county certificates are
by no means decisive. inexperienced
teachers are to be hired at all, hire
them at home if possible where all of
their charactistics are known upon the
start.
Teachers should always be hired
with the understanding, as a part of the
contract that if they prove successful
they are to continue the second term.
1t takes eight weeks for stranger to
properly organize school. If the
teacher is competent, the second term is
worth double the first. If the teacher
is incompetent the school should cease
the first week of the first term.
Parents must visit the schools. Sew
eral terms have been taught the past
year without single parent visiting
the schools. Halt of the teachers will
not put special labor into their schools
unless they are drove to it, and they
will not keep it up unless they are
watched. They naturally think that
where parents are not enough interested
to visit school an Indifferent school
will "pass muster" Parents seem to
be perfectly satisfied with their schools,
4; i; 4 if scholars come home and re-
port how the teacher made them ''step
around" pulled their ears for whisper
ing, or made them "stand upon the
floor" for not learning their lessons,
and teachers have come thoroughly to
understand that if they can get up a
reputation for discipline" they are sure
of growing success. Parents must be
educated up to a higher stand point OF
the true essentials of a good school be-
fore we have good schools. A good
school is quiet h me-like institution
where all of The scholars seem perfectly
free and easy and no unnecessary re-
straints are put upon them to we're them
and make them think that attending
school is game between teacher and
pupil at pla, ing and discovering tricks
instruction to be wholesome must be
made agreeable. That is the great
test. Are the scholars interested in
their studies and do they respect not
fear their teacher" A school that is
nearly a bundle of rules is good for
nothing. The best school in our town
