The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-09-09

room yesterday, and was addressed by
Superintendent Cooper.
In calling the gathering to order, the
superintendent extended a hearty well
come, spoke OF the apparent happiness
among the corps, and INDUCED the
hope that all had formed the resolution
that he himself had made, that this
should be the best year of his life
In the opening part of his address
Mr.. Cooper said that the tendency of a
vacation is to disintegrate. but that it
is most fortunate thing that recu-
peration is quick and strong.
'AH' of the good accomplished in
former years. said Mr. Cooper, forms
a reserve fund for future years There
are three things on the threshold of
the year that every teacher can do, and
they are: that he can make the in
coming year the best of his life: that
he ought to make il the best, and that
he will make it the best"
To the new teacher. was given these
words: We need your freshness and
power; you need US; we are linked to-
gether; we must stand together: the
new should be fused with the old; we
viii have it so.
1.-THE young teacher should climb
carefully; he should exercise prudence
and foresight: he should always be
prepared for every emergency, as it is
the unexpected that happens" The
best compliment that he could pay a
teacher is that he always knows what
TO do next A good general always
Overestimates the power and force of
the enemy, and underestimate his own
strength The difference between Bull
Ter and Roberts is that the former at
tempted battle before he was ready,
while the latter had everything in
readiness before he struck a blow No
teacher should be a plunger; he should
address himself to this work by care
full method The mOtOrman in giving
force to his car does not turn on all
the current at once, but by degrees
Two thousand years ago it was
spoken, Behold, make all things
new" Everything is new. WORK must must
be steady, economical Preparation
should be made not for a year, but for
a day, or a week. Each one should say,
Strength for today is all 1 need, for
there viii never be tomorrow.
In closing, Mr.. Cooper stated that in
the year to come there would be diff
ficuIty experienced, and there would be
light and love as we'll. No one must
expect TO be exempt from trouble, but
it should be met cOurageOuSly. There
are" said he, 1.-TWO sides to teaching
the objective and the subjective, the
former of which is the more important
The vision of the teacher should be
distinct and diligent. but there are
other realms that require his presence,
and these cannot be ignored"
