WRAT TRE TEAcAER SHOULD sE.

The teacher should be student.
People without education may be 70
some extent successful farmers, skill
ful shoemakers, build good houses, or
follow many lines OF business that do
not absolutely demand the training
necessary 70 be teacher and maintain
respect. But when a man or woman
offer themselves as leaders In the
training and the developing of an in
tellect, We at once lose our respect
for them II we discover that they are
not qualified for the work In hand.
The reason so many teachers find their
work dull Is because they are not pre-
Jared. Nine.tenths, II not all Of the
grumblers In school work are those
who know least about it. We all need
broader views, more illustrative mate
lial from which to draw. The teacher
who knows but one book on subject
will ind his work irksome. There is
always feeling of rest when we know
we know thing. Joy and pleasure
come into the heart Of every teacher
who is conscious of his ability. II Joy
abideth In the teachers heart, ike
wise Joy abideth in the school, and
where athere is contentment, good
work viii result. The teacher must
be person who is growing in his
wo;k. The last ten years have seen
more changes in educational methods
and systems than any previous fifty
years. We need not sleep half so long
as Rip Van Wrinkle to find ourselves
sadly behind in schuol work. The
speed Of progress in all business lines
has been very rapid in the last few
years; hence the need for us having
teachers to be wide awake and improY.
ing every opportunity to keep step
with the march Of progress The
growing teacher is always the sue
ceSSful teacher. The teacher who goes
into his school day after day and year
after year with the same old song will
soon find himself gone to seed. The
time was when many people thought
that money spent for pictures or books
was thrown away. But that day has
gone and the teacher who car mot take
a real interest in making his room at
tractive with beautiful pictures is TO
be pitied.
Did you ever know rebelllous set
Of pupils where there was taStefully
decorated room? A small investment
OF money and time for your school
room will save many blue and weary
day. The teacher must be tactful,
honest, and fair. He must not fiatter
parents, or pupils. He SHOULD be
courteous, always ready to hear any
complaint, and to investigate same.
Above all, the teacher should be pub.
lie spirited. In all matters Of public
interest he should be concerned. All
questions that effect the moral tone
OF the community should receive his
hearty support. In deed and in truth
he should be the leader for which his
position calls.
