The Lost Word.

Copyright. 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
1t Is an intensely annoying and most
tantaliZing experience to grope blind
ly for a word that ~Obstinately evades
and eludes you. that for an ininitesi.
NAL fraction of a second reveals a sec
ton of itself to your straining mind
then mockingly fades away You be-
lieve, you actually feel, there must be
such a word, and you rel have a dis
tinct impression of the number of let
tiers and syllables it contains, a sort OF
a shadowy idea of its material shape
and more; your memory supplies you
with its initial letter; but in vain;
you are halted, baked, utterly and alb
solutely Unable to grasp and fasten OF
to the e~vanescent entirety.

Of mine to write a novel.
Before | started this novel | had an
idea. rather superficial idea, a mea-
gerly logical idea-that novels in gen.
eral were easy to write and that this
novel in particular would prove the
correctness of my theory. The oisillu-
sion reached me with an abrupt sid
denness that completely carried me OH
my feet, and almost out of my mind,

For Better Teachers.

State Superintendent Ranger has sent
out the following notice to teachers and
school directors in the state calling their
attention to the new department of re-
gistration of available teachers that has
been established in the superintendent
office:
while it is not the intention of this Of
fee to conduct a teachers agency, yet it
can hardly do less than to give informa-
tion in its possessions such as a knowl-
edge of vacancies to teachers desiring
positions, and the names and qualifica-
tions of unemployed teachers to school
officers seeking teachers. Furthermore,
to promote the engagement of superior
teachers, to lessen the difficulty of secur
ing the services of good teachers, and to
assist an excellent teacher in securing a
worthy position, is to promote our edu-
cational interests; and this office cannot
decline to share in such service for the
betterment OF our schools.
To render more efficient help in this d.
rection it is essential that some system
be observed and that more definite infor-
nation be obtained by this Office. To
this end teachers and school directors,
when applying to this office are request.
ed to use blanks specially prepared for
the purpose.
While the superintendent of education
is eager to give all the aid in his power,
yet it should be remembered that he can
not hope always to name available
teachers to school officers or to report
vacant positions to teachers.
Directors and teachers are advised to
apply to county examiners of teachers
for similar assistance. While a scarcity
of teachers may appear in one part of
the state, an abundance may obtain else
where. Probably there are more certi-
fed teachers than there are schools in
the state. 1t is hoped that with the CO.
operation of examiners the difficulty of
finding unemployed teachers may be
lessened for directors.
Directors are reminded that there is a
growing custom to engage teachers sew
eral weeks or months in advance, and to
engage them for a year rather than tor a
term. Obviously such is the wisest and
safest plan II sufficient time is allowed
before the beginning of term, teacher
can usually be secured without difficulty.
The practice Of retaining successful teach
ers year after year, even at increased
wages, so increases the proficiency and
enhances the value of the schools that it
is usually the most economical course to
pursue.
Teachers who aspire to better them
selves should remember that recompense
tends to correspond with merit. In
teaching the best way to promote ones
personal interest is to enlarge ones
power for efficient and devoted service.
The loyal and capable teacher is always
in demand. Faithful and skillful per-
formahce of present duties are the true
stepping stones to preferment. Let
teacher be solicitous tor a good record
in every position held, however humble;
for every such position is opportunity
alikefor high service and personal advan-
tage."
