OF a teacher. ~ If a teacher is incom-
petent; C) to attempt to revoke a teach
er's certificate. This is a dangerous ex-
pedient, and should never be used for
the mere purpose of putting a teacher
out of a place. The teacher and the
school system: Teachers should aid
other teachers; they must be progress
sive, they must cooperate with the
county superintendent, they must adj
vance, they must equip themselves for
the work, not simply to pass an ex-
animation, but to be full, rounded ed
u~cators. Then insist upon what be-
longs to you; magnify your office and
exact that treatment that an honorable
profession should command. The adj
dress was thoroughly appreciated by
the large audience present.
Then followed a quartet by Messrs.
Clark and Halves and Mrs. Krager and
Miss Sayre. 1t was a beautiful selec-
ton and well rendered.
Superintendent Lyman then spoke on
the subject 1.-THE State Of Education In
Clatsop County" His speech, which,
it is needless to say. was an able one,
is unavoidably left out of this issue.
Mr.. H. C. Thompson spoke at length on
"What the director may do for the
School, He said that among the many
pleasant duties Of the board is to ex-
pei refractory pupils; to look after
school property; to ecure the most
skilled teachers; to pay salaries to JUS
tify this class of teachers to work with
us; TO obey the commands Of his chief,
the county superintendent. What can
the directors of this city do to better
our schools? The directors should see
that our public schools keep up with
the procession; look after the higher
and broader education Of III boys and
girls, and therefore sustain the high
school. What the parent may do for
the high school," was presented by Mrs.
Narcissa White Kinney. I'm ancient
Sparta" she said, q 1t was held that to
the state alone belonged the training Of
the boy; hence the parent had no hand
whatever in the general education. In
days some of the European ma
said no authority from the state
over the child but America has found
the happy medium in providing state
state teachers, state officers, to
assist the parent in this education.
1t was a most enjoyable address and
that any parent might well heed.
The session closed with a vocal solo
by Miss Alma Heilborn.
All should try to attend the day ses-
ions at the high school.
