TALKS ON SCHOOL AFFAIRS.


!
The most important part Of the
teachers duty does not necessarily
lie in the school room. A teacher
may have his mind richly stored
with knowledge, and may be able to
impart this knowledge in IA fairly
satisfactory way and still fall short
of full measure of success.
Besides inspiring the pupils with
love for their work and with conf
dence in their own ability, the teach
er must gain the sympathy and good
will of the parents. This confidence
and respect can not be gained unless
certain conditions are fulfilled.
The first condition is good char
acter and good habits on the part
of the teacher. No teacher can ex-
pect to gain the good will of the
people of his community unless he
lives a pure, upright life; habits
that might in others be overlooked
become in the teacher an object of
unfavorable remark, and is almost
sure to be talked about in the pres
ence of some of the pupils. Now no
pupil can hear such things and keep
his confidence and love for the
teacher unimpaired. Since it is
largely upon the confidence in the
teacher that the discipline of the
school depends, we see here one of
the evil effects of n bad habit on the
part of the teacher.
The second condition is interest
on the part Of the patrons. A teacher
must, in some way or other, arouse
and keep the interest of the parents
in the welfare of the school. He
should encourage the parents to
visit the school, that they may see
for themselves what their children
are doing. II these conditions are
fulfilled the teacher will find that he
has recognized social standing in
the community. In "A greater or less
degree, largely dependent upon him
self, he will be an example for his
pupils. Because the "teacher does
son the children think that it is right
that they should do the same.
Certain social duties are expected
of u teacher, especially in Il country
school, where much formality is not
practiced or approved. There should
be free and friendly intercourse be-
tween the parents and the teacher,
visits to the school on the one hand
and visits to the home on the other.
In this way will u social relation
ship be established, that will elevate
the ideas of the communities, make
the teacher broader in his sympa-
thies and wiser in his management,
and teach the children by a living
example how well-bred men and
women impart the delights of re-
fnement to the social circle in
which they may move. If the social
side of the teachers life is properly
developed, not only the school but
the community will reap lasting
Ebenetit.

greatly towards bringing about the
satisfactory results. The business
men of Mineral Point have kept
abreast with IT, times, and nowhere
outside of the larger cities can re
found finer stores or better stocks OF
goods than right here in our own
town. A number of handsome resi-
dences have been erected, and many
other homes have been improved ana
beautifed But much yet remains to
be done to advance the interests Of
our city. The spirit Of civic pride
should more fully manifest itself.
Every effort put forth to build up the
city should be given hearty cncour-
agcmcnt. The streets and walks
should be put in good condition by
owners and occupants Of property
aiding in the work. We have n good,
live city. Let us put it in good,
hcalthful, well appearing condition.
Let ny speak we'll of it. Let us take
pride in it, as one would in his home.
Let there be concert Of action on the

rightly awaiting ourselves of our
present opportunities we will not only
make Mineral Point the great bust

A MavelOus Escape.

Fennimore Times-Review: Passen-
gers on the Montfort train last We'd
nesday gave an account of a startling
accident which they witnessed near
Montfort. A young boy was blowing
in a field near the railroad track
whose horses became frightened at the
approach of the cars and started to
run away. The boy with the lines
around his waist started to run with
them until their speed was too great
for him to keep up, and being
unable to eXtracate himself, the
horses dragged both him and the pillow
along in their mad flight. The awe
struck spectators hardly expected but
that the unfortunate boy would be
killed as part of the time the pillow was
on top and part of the time the boy,
but he maryelously escaped serious
injury.
