1t has been found that it is not en- ough that
q person should know the rules and principles
OF tudy prescribed IN courses of instruction
and found in books, in order to measure up To
the modern requirements of a teacher. The
teacher who would succeed in The pei torm-
ance OF his duty must know more than this.
and must be capable OF displaying other attri-
butes than those possessed by Il mere teaching
machine. he must remember that ne occu-
pies in Il large measure the place OF the parent
towards his pupils, and that he IS 10 thelr
young minds the example Of what they should
grow to be; he must therefore be moral In all
his talk and conversation; he must be strictly
temperate; he must dis play IN his daily lie
all the qualities OF good ctuzenshlp; ne
must never forget that by the dl>clp.lue which
he euiorces in the schoO4room ne is lmpaFt-
ing daily lesson in obedience to and respect
for the la IS ana institutions OF the land; he
must remember also that his duties as
teacher and all example do not end with the
school hours, but continue throughout AL oil
his relations to the community OF which he ls

We have INDUCED in these elections for
the purpose of suggesting a standard OF duty
and OF conduct, 10 which we expect the teach
erS OF Santa Clara County 10 endeayor to at
tain, and which we always expect the various
district Trustees to rigidly require.
In the particular case before the board, the
facts appear substantially to be these:
For some time there has existed in the AL
viSo School District a factional fight for the
control OF its schools and other public affairs.
Mr.. SuzzslIo elected teacher there
While occupying this position trouble oc-
CURED between himself and mother teacher,
also mpIoyed in the Ayiso District School !,
entirely unConnected with the aforesaid fac
tional ght. The school Trustees having this
trouble between the teachers brought TO their
attention, deemed it wise not to re-elect both
teachers, and with the wisdom of their
action in this regard the County Board
OF Education concurs. The School Trustees
then proceeded 10 fiji the two vacancies by
the election OF two male teachers
The dismissal OF the two discordant teachers
ought to have ended the matter, and would
