THE REASON WHY

THE REASON WHY
We was asked last week
by a teacher of the county
to give through the columns
Of the RECORD our opinion
as to the cause why so many
teachers left Sharp county
and why teachers wages
are so low. After some
thought On the subject, we
have come to a conclusion
which we give,
If experienced teachers
leave Sharp county, their
reason, or perhaps the main
one for so doing, is plain.
They will go of course VIII ere
they can get better compen-
sation for their labor. That
part of our subscribers ques-
tion is more easily answered
than the seCond--why wages
are low. There may be
several reasons for this, but
one which strikes us most
forcibly is that there are too
many inexperienced people
gone to teaching school, who
will teach for almost any
sum, and tthe lowest, re-
Celve twice too much money
for the amount of benefit
they give. We have known
parties who could not con-
verse intelligently on any
subject of importance and
who, to judge by their con-
versatiOn, could not bound
Arkansas, locate Kalamazoo,
or shell corn to a gang OF
geese, yet, they are acting
in a position that should be
given to the best qualified
men and women and those of
truest character-that OF
training and developing the
powers and forming the
character of the youths Of
the country.
There is another class that
we call "knee-pant" teach.
ers. BY that class we mean
those who have had a few
years schooling, a little
experience in break downs
and love scrapes, after which
they have gone into the
youth training business.
This class will take a school
at whatever price they can
get it, and at a price that
