To The FRIENDS OF EDUCATION.

! EDITOR BULLETIN:-In the be
ginning of my second term as Su
perintendent of Public Instruction
desire to extend my thanks
/ to you for the aid and encourage
ment you have given me in the
work in the past, and in the inter
ests Of Hardeman's children, to ask
you for continuation of the same
In the past few years our schools
have made great improvement, but
there is vast room for more, and we
should not be satisfied until each
child, however poor, has an oppor
tunity to secure, at least, an ele-
mentary education, and ere this can
be done there are many changes
which must take place.
First, the qualifications of our
teachers must be improved. At
present, there are but few schools
in the county that are so fortunate
as TO have first grade teacher and
many Of those who hold primary
certificates have very unsatisfactory
grades.
feel that my duty to the school
interests of the county demands
that / strive to raise the standard
of teachers, and | hope that no
teacher who does not feel that he
can make a respectable grade on a
reasonable examination will take
this warning as meaningless, and l
also hope that no one who is an ex-
tremist on improving the qualifca-
tions of teachers will expect too
much at my hands, for We must not
forget that Hardeman's teachers are
composed of as noble young men
and women as our country affords,
and we must not get the erroneous
idea that we can import teachers
who will be bett er instructors than
those we have, for no man or wo-
man of splendid education can or
will come into our county and
teach our schools at the prices we
pay, and l am sure that none could
be more interested In the welfare of
Hardeman's children than those
born and reared upon her soil. So,
our hope lies not in importing
teachers, but in improving the
qualifications of those we have.
The qualifications of the teacher,
however, are not all that need to be
changed.
Our teachers deserve better sala-
ries.
Our school terms, in honor to
ourselves and in justice to our chill
dren should be increased.
Our schools should be reduced in
number and our houses improved.
Upon these things L shall have
something more to say in the future
and throughout my term of office l
shall strive for the accomplishment
of these objects.
