RUSH HILL Dec. al notice in
your excellent paper Of last week an
article written b. a subscriber on the
subject Of frstelzss teaeheB or aSu-
pervision Of Schools" Having spent
some ten years in active Uork as a
teacher l claim the privilege OF saying
that Mow something Of the duties
and requirements Of a teacher: and
being a pretty close observer L do not
hesitate TO say that be who ays AT
lest forty per cent OF the teachers
now had better be following some
other occupation hasn't put his esti-
mate too high The great dif3culfy
IS not lack q knowledge, but Ack Of
the natural ability to teach Others.
From the rear 1856 to the year 1870 l
had in St. Charles county, No., a class
Of teachers doing effective work and
they demanded and received good
wages and I know from experience
that they earned every dollar they
received. But from that time on our
high schools and colleges have turned
out teachers By the scone-just be-
cause they got adiploma or certificate
from some high school; and their edu-
cation vas perhaps sufficient, but as
to ability to teach what they knew,
about one out OF every ten succeeded.
Why is it so few teachers are retained
for q second and a third terms 1t
isn't for want Of knowledge Of the
different branches taught in common
schools or they could not have gotten
a certificate. Then again we see so
many would-be teachers hunting
schools. Now, perhaps, it may sound
very strange 70 some young teachers
for me to say | taught twelve terms
Of school in Missouri and | never ap-
piled for a school but once in the
State. After the first term the appli-
Ications all came the other way. We
hear so many young men and young
women say: ''Oh, when l finish my
education l gueSSI will teach school.
1t is such an easy life" My expert
ence was just the other way. A
teacher who succeeds must work hard
with both mind and body. / have had
school directors come for miles TO wit
ness the closing exercises OF schools
and at the close they would take me
by the hand, saying have the best
disciplined school we ever saw and We
want YOU" But young America
sprang up by hundreds Of Applicants
and wages were reduced one-half.
Better pay a good teacher good
wages, and have your children go
through a thorough training than to
have a careless, slip-shod teacher for
nothing; for it is precious time thrown
away. An OLD TEACHER.

Walter Williams IN Columbia Herabt
Women are more economl~Ai YUAN
men. The extravagancesd Tue eVer'
nal feminine has alwes been q iavor'
lite lest of the parsgraphists from Joe
Miller 20 the ASt resurrection Of iokes.
II Is really, however, all a Jest Man,
Who commonly makes the money for
the household, genvasiiy spends II
more p~rofusely than the woman and
much less wisely. The economist OF
the average home is che wife and
mother. She makes a dollar 20 farther
than a mar does She has TO do It.
The bargain counter appeals to her
not altogether because OF the shopping
habit but because OF the financial
necessity. The average man would
have more money at the end Of a year
IL he put his whole earnings IN his
wlfe's hands instead of u plttance for
household purposes. The man prac-
tices economy in large things, the
women In small ones. AS there are
more small things than large ones met
with In the course of a years expend-
itures, so the man has fewer oppor-
tunitles than the woman 10 practice
economy Of his special kind. The man
goes into a store and buys the first ar
tlcle which he comes TO, or certainly
the second or third, He seldom leaves
the store without purchasing some
thing and usually with little regard
10 the price. The woman regards her.
self derelict IN duty II she buys in tina
first store she visits. The salesman
would prefer one man as a customer TO
a dozen women. Indeed 1t may be
said that there is more profit IN one
man who buys thus readily than In
ninety and nine women who wander
around bargain counters and remnant
sales. A woman finds her chief en-
joyment In saving money for months
and then spending il in a single lump.
IL Is the reaction OF extravaganza
from economy. The man, on the con-
trary, after foolish expenditures OF
money, denies him something Of real,
large and permanent yalue-and sets
himself down In his own opinion as
practicing economy,
The spending Of money requires
more care in small things than in large
ones. The little foxes spoil the vines;
the little leaks sink the ship. The
man with an income OF five hundred
dollars a year has more reason for dis,
elimination than the fortunate posses.
scr OF five thousand. Human nature
usually acts differently, The nickel'
are expended with much less care ane
thought than the dollars. There Is I
superstltlous objection 10 ''hreaking I
binn because small change slip
through the pocket so easily. MOI
only is the reverse OF this behavior
wise for prudential and proyldcn'
reasons, but for other causes. ssTakl
care OF the pennies and the pound
will take care oflthemselvcs, . Is a tritI
proverb. The man who discriminate
wisely in little things win have n
difficulty in spending a right larg
amount
