| There has been quite demand in
| Chanute for an elevation OF the stand
ard in our schools, and the board
seems To have caught the fever and
gone among the Class OF college and
normal graduates 10 secure their new
teachers. They have, evidently, Sc
cured some of the best talent there
was on the market. The new teachers
secured are ali experienced, successful
teachers, so far as we have been able
TO learn, and teachers o. superior
scholarship and educational attain
ments. Most of them are either col
lege or normal graduates.

q tiiicate, Hpd is a successful graded
school teacher.
The old teachers re-employ ed are
p too well known To need any introduc
t ton. They are all we'll known TO UuI
I people, aud eminently successful.
We congratulate our school board
e on its intelligence and good judgment
e 10 giving US such a high grade OF
teachers. Wherever there was va
= caucy, or it was deemed best to make
a change, very high grade teacher
was secured for the place,
, All educated people are not success
, full teachers, but no one can teach
/ successfully without an education
and the higher and broader the edu'
cation, other things being equal, the
= better the teacher. 1t is urged that
: frequently teachers succeed admir-
T ably without higher training. We
agree with the statement, but assert
Fthat they would succeed better and
I, render a higher grade of service il
4 they had the higher training.
