poorly equipped boy who simply wants
to teach year or so till he can be ad-
mitted to the bar, or some shallow
pated girl who only wants to teach
long enough to get wedding outfit.
We do not blame the boy or the girl
for taking the place, If the patrons
and the board are willing to give it,
but we do blame school boards which
make of their positions charity insti-
tutions, or use their official positions
to help out some friend or relative, TO
the detriment of the best interests of
our public schools.
1t is poor policy to drop an expert.
enced, well equipped teacher for some
one of less qualifications, simply to
save a few dollars on the month in
wages. Such false economy is the
ruination of our schools and greatly
to the detriment OF the children.

from one of our subscribers who IS a
patron of the country schools. We
are very glad to give such communi-
cations place, as we have frequently
had our attention called to just such
evils.
Teachers, no doubt, sometimes be-
come careless and forgetful of the COM
fort and health of the little ones
in their charge, and school boards
very careless about furnishing good
comfortable rooms and proper heating
and ventilatirg facilities.
The health of the child is Of vastly
mure Importance than the amount of
arithmetic or spelling that may be
crammed down his throat in a given
time. There is no doubt but the
health of many children is perma-
nently injured by poorly constructed
and poorly ventilated schoOlrooms,
and by the inefiiciencY and thought
lessness OF the teachers in charge. If
more of our teachers could be made TO
realize the weight Of responsibility
that is on their shoulders, with refer
ence to the health and future life of
the pupils under their charge, their
services would be the more apprecat-
ed and compensation increased ac-
cordingly.
School boards and patrons are great
| ly to blame for the lack of efficiency
in our public schools. Too often the
only element discussed in employing a
teacher is the price. We believe in
rigid economy in our public school az
fairs, the same as in any other public
affairs, but the cheapest teacher is not
always not usually-the one that
will take your school for the least
money. If school boards would pay
better wages and insist on better
work, our schools would soon be in
much better condition. There is now

or young woman of intelligence, Ca

sition In life, fitting himself or her.
