The Pittsburgh Schools.

From IN educational paper. the fol-
lowing facts are cleaned concerning
the Pittsburgh schools. The enrolment
Is over 10000, quite an increase over last
term. One OF the most serious him
ORANGES to the entire or perfect success
of the schools is the dropping OF some
excellent teachers. and replacing them
with those who have neither profess
ional nor scholastic attainments neccs-
sary, to the successful teacher. This is
done sometimes In direct opposition to
the wishes Of the principal. The teach
ers thus selected have q pull, while the
unfortunate ones whose places they
take have not This Is an unfortunate
state OF affairs. The Journal from
which these items were taken adds:
Fortunately there is mn increasing
number of directors who scorn such ac-
ton" 1t would be well that there were
no such school officials anywhere. Too
many teachers are employed, who have
no professional training whatever, all
over our land. Many are employed
who have no natural aptitude to teach.
and they only take the position because
1t Is considered gentecl to be u teacher
or they do SO merely for the dollars and
cents received for their services.

Home Study.

Just how much home study should be
done by pupils is q question being agi-
tated in many parts Of the country.
The directors and teachers Of Green's
burg, Pa, held joint meeting a few
days ago, at which this matter was
discussed. There was no disagreement
rs regards grammar room pupils; they
should be required to study several
hours out of school, Some thought that
no child under ten should be required to
study out OF school, while others
thought that twelve should be the
minimum age. Some thought that even
the little tots could do home work pro-
fitably. The opinion OF the writer Is
that required home work from any pu-
pill under the sixth year grade does not
amount to much. II the pupil has some
one. at home to see that the study is
done as It should be, well and good. but
otherwise the pupils study amounts to
nothing. In the higher grades the way
our schools are crowded both as to stu
dies, and number of pupils no boy or
Sirl can succeed without more or less
home study. II parents could see this
just as the teacher does there would be
much more accomplished.

Good Spelling.

Are the Wheeling schools turning out
good spoilers? The writer thinks that
II they are not, It is not the fault OF tbc
teaching, for It is taught from the time
the child enters the school at the age Of
six years. until 1t passes to the high
school, and It is not discontinued there,
But really. q pupil who is in any way
bright ought to know how to spell all
words In common use or that he. has
used while passing through the ward
school. The fact Is We need moro
of the old time teaching OF spelling In
our schools. The writer is Just odd
Fosy" enough to believe that oral as
well rs written spelling has It's place
In the teaching OF this important SUBJ
ject. When the time comes when good
spelling Is considered an accomplish
mcnt, as 1t certainly is. then there vii,
be n revival In tho matter, and opr
schools will send out good spoilers, ms
they did years ago.

The Ohio Valley Teachers Round Ia
bic Will meet at Martins Ferry, Ohio,
Friday and Saturday, November 0 ana

October meeting. It being postponed un-
til after the political excitement some
what subsidies. There should be re-
Tival OF interest Mt this meeting. and
there doubtless viii be. Wheeling,
Bridgeport, Bella!re. Bcnwood and
Moundsville all being connected with
Martins Ferry BY motor line, ought to
insure one Of the largest meetings OF
teachers ever held in the valley. Then
the change Of name ought to cause n
larger attendance ut once. This will be
the first meeting since the change of
name, and now no teacher can feel that
he or she is excluded. The shortening
OF the name, In itself, ought to have
the effect Of bringing out many more
than usually attend. There were thos.
who objected to belonging to an organi-
Zation with a name so long that the
first part Of 1t would be forgotten be-
fore person got through speaking 1t.
Now the name is all right, as the organ
ization has always been, in spite Of its
name. Wheeling ought to send a
large delegation Of teachers.

TOPICS OF THE SCHOOLS.

II The city superintendent Of schools OF
Harrisburg Pa, Is doing all in his pow
or to stop cigarette smoking. He has
secured from the board of education n
strong resolution of sympathy with the
action of the principal Of the high
school, who has for long time been
trying to break up the pernicious habit.
The board Of education further resolved
as tollowsag"I IF any boys be suspended
for this vicious practice. the city su-
perintendeIt be hereby requested to deal
with them as severely as propriety Will
allow" This is move In the right di-
rection. and little resolving OF this
kind in Wheeling, would be q great
benefit to our boys. who so far forget
themselves las to indulge in this habit,
which Is sapplng the very foundation
Of their physical being. Boys who
smoke cigarettes do not as n rule keep
pace in their classes with those who do
not smoke. This is known to every
principal and teacher The writer does
not allow sit In or around the school
grounds, but he knows that many OF the
brightest boys OF his school are acquir-
ing the vicious habit that is running so
many Of our young men. Teachers

circles. The schools have been criu-
cised by the English department Of the
Northwestern University on account OF
the wretched spelling of the candidates
for admission to the classes of the uni-
versity. 1t seems that doctors disagree
on the subject here rs elsewhere. su-
perintendent Maxwell thinks spelling
has much improved In the past fifteen
years, while Borough Superintendent
Jaspers says: 1.-THE teachers do not
have time to teach spelling as q sepa-
rate subject in the way 1t used to be
taught. The course of study is fear
fully overcrowded. full OF subjects that
are desirable enough. but not essential.
We need more time for English, any
way. but where do we find 1t? In my
opinion the first thing to consider IS a
revision Of the whole school course" So
1t can be seen that there Is agitation
going on In the world of education. as
well as elsewhere. That we are crowd
ing too much into our public schools Is
evident to all who have given or will
give the matter any thought. The out
come Of the whole matter will be as
Superintendent Jasper suggests. d re-
vision OF the entire course. May the
time come soon when this will be done.

preserved. We have been generally ex-

Teachers Meetings.

"of what use are these teachers
meeting anyhow? I see no special
benefit in attending them" This waa
said to the writer by teacher, who
has been in the profession but q short
time. The answer given to the teacher
will not be attempted to be repeated
here; but will say that any teacher who
can attend such meetings and not be
benefited by them should leave the pro-
fesslon. Live topics are discussed in
manner TO do anyone good. who wishes
to improve. The assoclating of teach
crs together for n day or more is an
inspiration, worth any trouble or ex-
pcnse to attend the meeting. Young
teachers especially should attend all
the meetings of the kind they can af-
ford to attend. 1t will help them In
every way.

can be seen that If, MS New York and
