School Superintendent Bill

In last weeks issue Of the
COURIER there was a commune
cation from our honorable repre-
sentative, A. w. johnson, ask
ing the citizens of our county
how he should vote upon the
county school superintendent
bill now before the state legisla-
.ture.
The purpose of this bill is to
provide for a school superin.
tendent for each and every coun-
Gy In the state, whose duty it
shall be to visit the various
schools of his county each school
year, offer suggestions and give
instructions to any teacher as to
discipline, school management,
{ etc.
According to Mr.. Johnson's
estimate it would cost our state
something like 500, 900 to pay
the salaries of these superin.
tendents each year.
Do we need them for the bet
terment of our schoolse MIR.
johnson is plain and to the point
in stating that individually he is
opposed to this measure.
AS far as Charlton county is
concerned superintendent
would be personally unable to
visit every school within its bor-
ders during a school year.
We have about 150 teachers,
and 120 days is the average
school year, so it is plain to any
one that superintendent coulc
not spend even one day witt
each teacher in year.
Again, suggestions and in
structions in school management
and discipline should be givel
a. the beginning OF a schoo
year How could this be don
by one man? Some school
would not receive his visit, per
haps, until few days before tn
closing of the term. Whs
would be the benefit of his Wis
TO such schools if they closed i
a week or two weeks afterward
Isn't it a fact that our teach
ers associations do more for tn
average teacher than any super
intendent could ever do in Wis

Short Talk ApOut
Food

About half the sickness in
the world is caused by eating
unwolesome, adulterated
food. Ask your doctor if
this isn't so. People ought
to be as particular about
picking out their grocer as
they are in their religion.
We take pride in our grocery.
It's a clean grocery. We won't
sell anything unless We know
it's good, We don't believe
any grocer is more careful
than we are about keeping
pure food.

they need in their respective
towns at any and all times DUR

A Bath in Grand River.

j. B. Robertson, the editor of
the Brunswicker, took an in
voluntary bath while skating on
Grand river Saturday about
noon.
He was gliding gracefully over
the ice and as he was skating
g ainst cold east wind
he had his head bowed to
keep the frigid zephyrs
out of his face, when he ran
into a place from which the ice
had been cut the day before and
which only froze about zone.
fourth of an inch in thickness
Friday night. AS consequence
young Robertson went through
and clear down over his head in
eight or nine feet of water.
Fortunately he came up in the
same place he went under and
broke his way with his arms to
the thicker ice to which he held
on, without anybody's telling
him, and called loudly for help.
A young man namediWm. Row,
who was also skating on
Grand river, came to the rescue
and pulled Berry out of his peri.
lous predicament. 1t is needless
to say that Berry will not raise
a row with Mr.. Row, ,sbut, on the
contrary, he says he will set 'em
up at the first opportunity ato the
young man who rendered him
such valuable help in time of
great need. No i'll effects of the
accident have been reported and
Berry had not even so much as
sneezed at last accounts; which
would indicate that he is accus.
toned to taking asbath.

y
school teachers are incompe-
tent The truth of the matter
is country schools need better
and moro experienced teachers
than city graded schools because
they have to be master Of SO
many more branches and grades,
all coming together each day in
a conglomerate mass, as it
were.
Here we find the 'twee little
tots" of kinder garten age, and
the young mathematicians rack
ing Etheir brains trying to
solve the great multiplication
table, the big geography class
taking a lesson over in Europe
or Asia, the young man, who
wears a frock coat, ciphering at
the blackboard, while Johnnie is
making faces at the girls and
throwing paper balls across the
isle just because the "school-
marm' is rot watching at that
moment. Nho said the country
teacher was incompetent?
1t takes more than education
and "few suggestions" to sue
cessfully teach any school. Each
teacher must have the tact for
discipline and talent to impart
knowledge to others. He or she
must have that individuality of
character, patience and love
which win the admiration and
respect of the pupils in and out
of school.
Again, it takes more than mere
suggestions and new and untried
methods to successfully teach an
ungraded school. Teachers must
love their calling" not for the
money that may be in it, but
much more for the great respon-
sibiiity intrusted to them in
building and developing the
characters and intellects of Gods
greatest gift--our children.
A teacner must use discretion,
be good judge of human nature
and be able to know the capaci-
ty for learning of each individ-
ual pupil; also be able to quick
ly perceive what special talents
each child may have.
"A successful teacner is he or she
that can encourage the young
mind to mount from one inEri-
cate problem solved to anoGher
still higher and more intricate
A teacher should also have the
talent to make dull lesson in
teresting and be able to ex.
plain every question that may
spring up in a manner TO be
plainly and easily understood.
What we need above all is not
better educated teachers and
superintendent in the country,
out consolidation of school dis
tricts, where possible, then
have at least two teachers, one
for primary classes and the other
for larger pupils.
Next provide means for bet
ter attendance of pupils, and
last, every teacher should be at
least 18 years of age before COM
mencing to teach school.
Now let US go back to the be-
ginning of our subject. Mr..
johnson wrote me to-day that
"this bill had passed the lower
house of our legislature this
week and would soon be acted
upon by the senate. y That he
had opposed it to the best of his
ability, but nevertheless it car
ried by good majority. Mr..
Johnson further states that
.sthe bill is bad one" Now,
/ fellow citizens, it is up to US to
write to our senator or to Gov,
Folk, stating our position in the
matter. This should be done

THE average wage of the mill operative is not

little funds laid away for sickness or death. A
member of his family dies, and in order to give
his dead as equally costly a burial as some
other member of the parish he contracts debts
against which he struggles for long time to
