The complimentary Excursion
To the Logan Teachers,

The excursion of the Teachers to
Gallipolis last week, rendered in ac-
acknowledgements of a suffrage, not
exactly a vote but in effect the
election of a post master, was some
thing out of the usual and has at
tracted attention throughout the
country.
1t is usual in places other than
Logan, to. consider the Teacher n
kind of hired help, clanish, selfish
narrow and inharmonious with the
general public. When the school is
out, the bad boy ventures to make
faces, the average good man to find
fault. The Teachers are left with
out much companionship and very
little practical sympathy and cheer
ing appreciation and encouragement.
W heh d recommendation IN an ap- |
plicants behalf for post master went |
to the nominating powers, the word
came back congratulating the appli-
can't on such support, saying in ef-
feet, that the teacher, more than the
politician determined the high des
tiny of this country, and much more
correctly estimated the worth of the
public servants, adding, THE School
House dominates the White House
and when the goddess of the Repub
lie from her lofty place on the dome
Of the nations Capitol looks out,
she looks up to see the Teacher"
With feeling much in the line of
his sentiment, the excursion was
projected.
Whether or not the reciprocity of
Federal office holder and common
school Teacher has been to mutual
pleasure, it is not for us to say. This
partner in the reciprocal treaty of
,ood will is satisfied.
The excursion has in it this feature
or public good. 1t has brought in
loser social relation the employer
nd employed, capital and labor; the
ublic servants in State and Federal
ervice, the all conserving moulder
f ali classes into a public spirit, the .
,ditor.
This general good feeling has for
long time characterized Logan, and
nd matured in this spirit, the
'ogan schools'are beyond all question
ne best in the state.
The excursion took to our beloved
ster city or the river practical
emonstration of the Logan plan,
nd has displayed to the world a
ublic face, a countenance reflect
lg a public spirit, honorable and
lifying.
The reception given the excur-
onlsts was most cordial and shows
lat not only the teachers of the sis
II elty but the good people as well
e heart and hand in movements as
nd to make people better in every
Illlng by knowing each other bet
r. Our Board made pleas ant ac-
and learned much O f in
rest and profit from the trip. In
9ed if in nothing else, they cot to
low better and to like better the
achers by learning the womanly
aracter in them. Uul teachers
lproved in the converse of minds
their own calling and the new
5hts ana strange things brought
fore them. The E1itors were
tier of course by being in good
mpany, and where politics didn't
We breathing place.
The trip will be a text for good
my articles in the future issues of
SENTINEL and the teach ers are
ably requested to furnish us with
tes OF suggestions for publication.
