The True Teacher.

The true teacher s not chiefly
concerned about his salary. That
is an important item in his list of
necessities, and he is not likely
to receive too much of it, if he is
a true teacher. School directors
are not given to extravaganza of
this kind. But salary is not the
most important thing in teach
er's life. 1t is more important
that he be conscientious in his
work. The teacher who puts his
conscience in his work will sue.
coed whore others fail. If in no
other way he will succeed in be.
ing at peace with himself. The
painstaking, conscientious teacher
is apt to give each pupil the at
tention which he deserves, and so
secure for each one the best
fruits of his toll. He will neccs.
sarily make each scholar feel his
interest in him, which will in
spire pupil to do his best. To
get each pupil to know his own
weakness and to remedy it; to
bring each pupil to that point of
doing his best; to enlist every
energy of the child in the task to
be done-this is work which has
no money valuation. The true
teacher cannot measure the
amount Of his work by the size Of
his salary but will do whatever
is necessary, for success. He

who gauges the amount of his
labor by the sizs of his salary is a
mere hireling, and unworthy of a
place in the ranks of the true
teachers. And these thoughts
apply with equal force to all
people who labor for others. No
matter what the occupation is,
the work should be done to please
the person who must pay for it.
Make yourself worth more than
the price of your hire rather than
less.
One of the greatest mistakes of
teachers is talking too loud and
too much. When loud talking is
INDUCED in by the teacher the
pupils will adopt loud talking.
OF all the indexes of culture or
the lack of it, there is none that
is more certain than the voice.
True teachers will not only teach
their pupils TO read, write and
cipher but will be constantly on
the look out for any breach of
proper decorum and strive TO
correct the same. A low, distinct
and expressive voice commands
more respect than the harsh, un.
modulated voice.
Good teachers will read pro-
fessonal and other books, edu.
cational journals and other pa
pers and influence their pupils to
read along good lines, Can a
teacher who fills the school room
or the play ground, full of the
order of tobacco, be considered a
good teacher9-Selected.

The School Fund.

..Since reading Mr., Hardin's
article on this subject and re-
membering the conversation be.
tween us a few days before con-
corning the School Fund and the
benefit of a County High School,
/ should like to add few more
words to the subject for the peo-
pie to think about.
Let us first think of a few of
the present conditions and then
see if we can think how the fund
could be used to an advantage.
There are eighty.fve school dis.
tricts in this courtyard ninety
two teachers, according to the re-
port of the Superintendent last
June. The average length of the
school is seventy-six days during
the year and the average salary
paid is twenty.seven dollars. Is
this condition good9 | think not,
as the child will not more than
"get started" in that time; and
again, can you have good teach
ers at that price? l think not as
teacher cannot live on eighty
one dollars year and cannot be
a good teacher and devote his
time and study TO something
else the remaining nine months.
The school population of this
county is 6,G0l white, with 4,O4S
enrolled who attended school
during the year. The average
daily attendance was 2,715 which
is about one-third Of the pupils
that should be in regular atten.
dance.
The school taxes from all
sources in the county is, in round
numbers, 10000. AS we hear
there is $4,000 in the treasury
and ask what is the condition that
caused this9 We rene mber there
are eighty five districts and from
investigation we see about half
of these districts have less than
fifty dollars each and the other
half between fifty and one hun
dred with some more than one
hundred. The trouble seems to
be that we have too many dis
tricts aud each district wanting to
"keep some for next time" leaves
an enormous amount in the treas
uary. If we had fewer districts
the school term would be longer
and so much money would not be
on hand. Why not redistrict the
county and have each district,
say four miles square9 Only a
few Of the children would have TO
walk more than one and a hall
miles and this would reduce the
number of districts from eighty
five to thirty.
We now have ninety-two teach
ers and by having thirty school
buildings only few would need
more than two teachers, which
would reduce the number OF
teachers to about seventy. This
would give us more months by
saving the difference paid the
twenty-five extra teachers.
Make your own calculation and
see how many months $4,000
would give you paying thes e
seventy teachers $4,000 per
month. w. L. BELL.
