Women the Best Teachers.

R. A. J. NJ, in his letter pub
lished in the February Straight
Talk" commencing the article on
"A School for Boys asks WHY our
school teachers are women, who
are not able to mete out punish.
ment in wholesome manner. He
seems to think that is the reason
corporal punishment is being put
aside in our public schools. 1t is
not, however, because the majority
of the teachers are women that
permission to use corporal punish
ment is denied, but because the
Judgment of leading educators is
against it,
He also says that weak women
are not the proper educators for
boys.
The men we have in our public
SCHOOLS are, nine cases out OF ten,
not the men who have made or are
making a success in life. They
are either those who have tried
other vocations and, failing, have
taken up teaching, or else they are
very young men who are using this
means as stepping-stone, and, ex,
pecting soon to leave the ranks, are
not deeply devoted to their work.
We do not find the most masterful,
manly men in the school.room as
under teachers.
1t is the noble woman who is the
conscientious worker, dey citing her
time, her interest, often her life, to
this work, and it is only such a
worker that can make man of the
boy. 1t is through her efforts that
the good traits which are in both
the bad" and the good" boy are
brought out.-Everybody's Maya
