MALE SCHOOL. TEACHERS.
TCedar Rapi,ls Gazette 4

Governor Shaw would like TO have
more men teachers in the schools. In
this idea he is eminently correct, for
the man is still a useful animal when
used in moderation aud with due cau-f
ton as TO his dangerous character.
There are great many boys who have
no fear of their teachers. and there
are some of them who should have fear
instilled into their youthful minds al an
early day, II they are to become men.
But to secure man who win be compe-
tent to teach school and who will be.
willing to devote their lives 10 the work
10 that there may not he an everlasting
rotation of experiments in the school
room, wages should be increased. To
this end the man might be given more
work than is performed by the average
teacher, SO that the expense would be
no greater. The Gazette dominates
Shaw for school director and proposes
to have him turn loose among the edu-
cational Institutions
