Bargains-Roark's Economy in
Teaching (Reading Circle book at
the office for 85o. No teacher can
afford to be without this valuable
aid at this price.
We visited a. school last Thurs.
day afternoon the attendance that
wintry day vas about twenty five.
Every pupil seemed to be interest
ed; the dictionary was almost in
constant use, the question "What
does this mean" was very frequent
lily asked by the pupils. At the
close of each recitation, the teacher
made a round of the 0 giving u
suggestion here aud answering a
question there. When a pupil be-
came idle the teachers attention
was soon conferred so uncomfo.t-
ably upon him that he quickly fell
to work. The recitations generally
were we'll prepared by the pupils.
Truly there is a labor worth vastly
more than her hire.
It is a matter of good ethics that
when a teacher wishes to resign, he
should give notice in sufficient time
that a substitute may be- secured.
But it is a matter of better ethics
that when q person has entered in
to a contract of service for a limited
time, to fulfil that contract if pos
sible buff not possible, fnd an
equally acceptable substitute who
may become acquainted with the
work before it is given up by the
original contractor.
