Home Missionary, giving the best Of
herself-always giving. giving and
receiving little in return save the few
paltry dollars with which she may get
barely comfortable living and a very
few of the books and papers which
are an actual necessity to the conscien-
tious teacher. In most rural COM
munities the teacher is. looked to as
an intellectual, social and moral lead.
er. Single handed with little help
from parents and no library, her task
is indeed discouraging one. But
with faithful work, patience and tact
a teacher can often awaken whole
community to it's educational needs; !;
and while moulding the plastic minds
Of it's youth she can broaden the Wis
ion Of the older ones. This task
although discouraging in the under
taking is glorious in the accomplish
ment. But how shall we equip our.
selves for such a great work? Ger
tainly not by nursing our ignorance
aud contenting ourselves with our
present achievements.
Let every teacher in the county
who has not been to Columbus, or
Oxford attend at least a part of the
institute, if possible the entire month.
Besides the opportunity Of intellectual
growth there will be the broadening
influence of social intercourse with
other teachers; from which one can
not fail to derive both pleasure and
Improvement. Our faculty is equal
to any in the state. Indeed in this
we are highly favored. Many of the
counties have only two instructors,
while we have four assigned to Us.
The director, Prof. F. B. Woodley, is
personally known to me. He is sup.
erintendent CT the city schools Of Hat
tiesburg where have taught for the
Rast year. He is christian gentle
r "AUen>pf experience; a live,
iii"n teacher. He is
earnest, energetic ~ sss>ha,;on
strictly progressive. always TS
ing in advancement, but not taking
up with every crack Drained theory
presented by visionay enthusiasts.
His instruction will not fail to be
plain, practical, helpful.
. Again let me urge our teachers
to attend the institute. Try to be
on hand the very first day. Let us
have an enthusiastic opening and
keep up the interest throughout the
month. The success of the work
depends mainly on the attendance OF
the teachers.
Yours in the interest of public
education.
