that failure to mention their district il
intentional. | recall Owosso No. 4,
where the same teacher started in two
years ago at 1913 per month and has
been offered $50 per month for the
whole year to remain next year. Two
of her pupils are now teaching, which
is one of the indications of the good
results coming from such prudent
management.
Hazelton No. 9 is another district
where the teachers wages have been
raised from year to year and the re-
suits are measured in the successful
applicants at the eigth grade and teach
ers' examinations, and this same teach
err takes principalship in the Durand
schools next year.
Bennington No. /, New Haven No. Z,
Fairfield No. @, and Fairfield No. 4, are
others of this class of schools where the
same watch care and judgment is ex-
ercised in conducting the school as
these same farmer district officers use
in planning the rotation of crops.
But the first question for the teacher
to ask himself, when he complains of
low wages, Is, "Am earning any more
than my present salary? If not, when
am going toy"

Teachers Institute.

attendance at our teachers institute to
be held in Owosso, beginning Wednes-
day, July 8, and lasting 10 days. We
have every reason to believe the work
done at this meeting by the instructors
and the teachers will bear much valua-
BILE fruit in the way of far more efficient
teaching work during the coming
school year.
Many teachers complain of the low
wages which they are receiving when
they are not trying to earn any more
than they are getting, nor putting forth
any effort to make themselves capable
of earning more. Long experience as
teacher does not, and should not,
count for anything, if it does not count
for progressive teaching, and better
teaching than the beginner in the work
is able to do.
An employer in any kind of business
does not promote his hired help until
he sees they are exercising that energy,
ability, and determination, in their
work, that earn more money than they
are already receiving. "Merit WINS the
way. But some teacher says, ooh,
that's the way it works in other call.
ings. but these school boards won't pay
any more if we do earn it," am sorry
to be obliged to acknowledge that in
some cases this seems to be quite true.
Some school boards do not, either from
want of proper interest or prudence,
seem to discriminate between the
real teacher and the would-be teach
or; and too often in the foolish
and vain attempt to save two or three
dollars per month in teachers wages
they absolutely squander the whole
amount of district money entrusted to
their charge, and, what is of far greater
importance, waste much of the valua-
BILE time of childhood, If in fact they do
not willfully pave the way for the SOW
ing of pestilent tares in the pure wheat
of good morals and good citizenship.
But while this serious obstacle to |
good district schools does exist in some
individual instances, it is not generally |
true; and l am happy to say that it is
very seldom true in village and city
schools, which accounts in part for the
more efficient teaching work of the vii
lage and city schools over many coun.
try schools. If rural school officers
would exercise the same care and
judgment in hiring the teacher that
they do in buying horse, very often
there would be far better school in
their district.
But this is not the particular line of
discussion on which l started There
are rural school boards in Shiawassee
county that do appreciate good, hus-
Ting teaching work when they see it,
and that are willing to pay for it.
Perhaps you/Will say, 'this sounds
we'll, but just point out the districts
that are blessed with such school
board" Well, can do it, but will not
attempt to mention all such districts as
space and memory do not serve me we'll

,nly those that come to me readily, and
