You can talk about your blooming
flowers, but ] had a mess of lettuce
fresh from my own garden today
said a lady after she had read about
the flowers in bloom in the city.
Come to think about it, this is a great
city for green things. We always
felt perfectly at home. But there
are green things in abundance il
Ramsey county besides ourselves.
There are plenty of places which make
louder claims to ideal climate, where:
the garden vegetables long ere this
are as delapidated as the average club
man after an all night out with
friends. North Dakota has not the
most objectional climate in the world
after all.
Scan you tell me why teachers al.
ways look so careworn ?" inquired a
gentleman the other day as a crowd
of these moulders of characters and
directors of souls passed a street corner.
Have you ever noticed that bright
women who are engaged in the work
of teaching always lcok like a young
woman who has failed to land after
w seasons out, and that many men
who are 80 engaged always look like
hen pecked husbands who would rath-
er go to the regions 80 wildly de-
picted in Dante's Inferno, than go
home? Well, if you never noticed
it just observe a little and see if that
is not right. There is a reason for
it,. The occupation wears out the
very soul of the teacher. All child
rem are not models of good behavior
in school, though you could search the
city with an x rays and not find
a parent with a bad child. The
teacher is anxious to succeed, to make a
record for good work, fo, reputation is
a money maker in these days. Here
are children who are unable to learn
-don't.have the brains-that was
our t~rouble-and she must keep them
in the class or have an irate parent
swoop down upon her and say che is a
good for nothing-that James isn't
learning anything. We once had a
parent ask us what we thought of his
ooy. In our blunt way we said the
boy did not have brains enough to
learn. The father became warthy
and said he boy was just like he was
when he was young. We agreed.
The old man had not changed. Well
those careworn teachers have this kind
of children to contend with and they
have q lot Of unreasonable parents.
The child comes home with a tale of
woe and the parent becomes pugilistic
wants to see that teacher. Now if
that parent would just think that the
teacher is filling the place of forty
mothers with all their trials and wor.
ries they would go around to the
teacher and kindly offer to help her
with the children. just try it once
and see how much better 1t will make
the situation.
