country will advance in civilization

ers the nation cannot live. The lot of
the country teacher is exceptionally
hard. With badly lighted, improperly
ventilated buildings, average time of
seven and one half minutes for each
recitation, his labors unappreciated. his
motives misunderstood, his services
half paid, is it strange that he some.

tainly of the schools of Maryland In
my Judgment it is not primarily due to
the professional weakness of the teach
ers. but to the weakness of the salaries
paid professional teachers which is the
cause of the most of whatever trouble
there may be. In this particular the
State has been derelict i'll its duty
towardthe schools and has not advanced
single step within the past thirty
years. The average salaries paid in the
| State are In some cases even less now
| than then. do not believe the public
| fully realize the sacrifices made by the
teachers of the State. While much Is
expected from them. in too many in
stances. but little is given in return.
The teachers in most instances cannot

| future. The bare statement of the sums
paid would carry with them their own
criticism, and also the most logical cx-
PLANTATION of the weaknesses i'll our pub
lie school system. as well as the most
eloquent protest against the continu,
ancc of such parsimony.
1T may be argued that there are al
ways teachers ready and willing To fill
any vacancy. and therefore since there
is no scarcity in the supply. there is no
necessity for increasing the salaries
paid Whilst this Is very true it Is also
fact that the majority of teachers in
the public schools do not teach with a
view to making it profession. but
merely as temporary cxpcdient tn
earn living, and which they will
abandon as soon as something better is
offered There are others also who have
graduated from the Normal School. who
