School Teachers.

ported as indulging in o great deal
of criticism of their various boards
of school trustees, charging them
with employing teachers from dis
lance to the exclusion OF home appli-
cants. In some other portions of the
state the tendency is to the other ex-
treme, and no gentleman or lady
may expect for preferment in their
profession OF teaching who cannot
produce evidence OF local birth and
rearing. But after this is done, the
balance is easy-school teachers fire.
qucntly being retained who are inca
pacitated, both by education and
disposition for adequately discharg-
ing the duties of instructor Indeed
in some counties it is no unusual
thing to find young boys and girls in
charge of schools whose ignorance is
so palpable as to cause the uniniti-
ated to wonder how and by what
manner Of means they secured their
appointment! or course we all know
the going to either extreme is an err
ror, but that it is INDUCED in never
theless, is potent fact.
Teaching is as much public trust
as is performing the duties of any
other Office; it is exclusively for the
good OF the state. and he who aspires
to its sacred functions should be re-
quired to possess the necessary quail
ifcaticns for discharging them intel
iigcntly and conscien tiously. The
mere fact that a person is from Vir-
GINA or any other particular state,
neither proves nor disproves his a
bility to conduct school successfully;
neither does being native of the
community, per sc, entitle one to pre-
fcrmcnt as teacher.
We believe the first thing q trustee
should impress upon the mind IS that
teaching is purely public function,
not for the benefit of any man or Sc.
of men, but wholly for that of soci-
ety-the state And therefore the
first question to be answered is which
applicant can do the most good fer
and to the school for which teacher
is to be engaged. But the mere fact
that some one comes intoa commu-
nifty as q stranger, or that he was
born and reared in that comnuni-
ty,-should not alone determine.
However, we do believe, all things
else being equal, where one is bona
fiCla resident OF the state and commu-
nifty, and the other one is not, the
preference should invariably be given
the former.
It seems only right that our trus-
tees aud superintendents of educa-
ton should; in every legitimate man
ner, encourage our young people
and select them where justice to all
parties will permit What we wish
to make plain is that no competent
teacher should be refused simply be-
cause he is not resident of the COM
munily; neither shoulda sorry teach
'er be provided with q school simply
because he-is one OF us. The duty OF
school officials lies only in one direc-
ton; and it requires no Solomon TO
Indicate it:-and when that has been
conscientiously and honestly per-
formed, all others will have been in
cidentally discharged, To say that
no other vocation presents the OPP
portunitics for doing good or evil as
that OF teaching is putting it tamcly,
conveying but slight conception of
the facts. And only those qualified
in every particular should be en-
trusted with the care and guidance
Of our childrcni
