OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
COMPETENT TEACHERS.

Any one of ordinary common sense
knows that a teacher cannot teach
that which he has never learned. In
deed, it is well understood that some
persons are not able to impart to
others the knowledge which they may
possess. Learning is one thing and
the liability to teach" isanother thing.
One may pass the required examina-
tions in reading, writing, arithmetic,
etc.," and fail entirely to teach the
subjects specified. liability to teach,"
next to ''moral character" without
which the most learned person in the
land is not tit to be teacher, is of the
greatest Importance. The chief bust
ness OF the teacher is to teach. How
ever much or little he may know, it
matters nothing if he is unable to
teach it to the children, who come to
school to be instructed. A person of
quite limited knowledge may succeed
dis teacher If he is proficient in the
science of teaching, which must be
learned like everything else.
The State demands first of all that
the Board OF School Visitors shall sat-
iSfy themselves, ''as board" that
''all persons desiring to teach" have
''moral character and ability to teach"
And then comes the secondary matter
of qualification to ''teach, Thorough
ly," certainsubjects Section 10 School
Laws.
President Eliot of Harvard Univer-
sity has been quoted as saying that the
greatest menace to our public schools
is the school committee. The value
of education depends upon the teacher,
but the quality of the teacher depends
upon the school visitors. If the school
visitors are incompetent to examine
the candidates for teachers, as to their
liability to teach" or for any reason
fail to do so, then the law is of none
effect to start with. And if the super
visor does not know nor care whether
the teacher has ability to teach, then
who shall decide whether the teacher
is competent or incompetent.
The success or failure of public ed
ucation does depend upon those who
And it is plainly the duty of the board
to protect the public and secure the
inalienable rights and privileges of the
children to such instruction as the
State intends them to have at the
public expense. The law is clear
enough on this point: ''They shall
revoke the certificates of such teachers
as shall at any time be found incOm-
petent to teach or to manage a school,,
or fail to conform to the requirements
of the bOard.''
If teacher is really incompetent to
teach or manage school, then is it
not great wrong to the people of that
district to deprive them of their legal
and moral rights? But if the teacher
is all that the law requires and is
faithful to his trust, should not the
board make haste to vindicate him as
a public servant? Why MOTTO. O..

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making it's presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take a delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms of
ScrOfula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is a wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures
them-Hood's Sarsaparilla-is easily
obtained and there is abundant proof
that it's cures are radical and perma-
nent.
