In tiger hunt, anywhere from a
half dozen to 100 elephants are used.
When an Indian prince goes forth on
a royal hunt, there are even more ele-
plants than that brought along. When
a normal man issues forth, he en-

they cost all the way from $500 to

put III not, to re-elect the incum bents?
Such game would bs dishonorable.
If school board wished to change
teachers for any legitimate reason it
has perfect legal and moral right to
do so. But the change should be made
In a manly, straightforward manner.
Let the board frankly tell the teach
er not to ask for reelection, declare a
vacancy, then advertise for applica-
tions-if that is the best way to Sc
cure teachers.
Teachers themselves must bear their
part of the responsibility for so many
changes. There are some teachers
who ought not to iexpect any school
to keep them longer than one year.
The cap .ious, (somtimes miscalled
spirited,) the eccentric, the frivolous
the giddy and tho ignorant ones may
expect to float about like driftwood.
Ibep there are some teachers who
have an incurable mania for becom-
ing birds OF passage. 1 once knew a
teacher to resign her work to 90 else
where on the ground that she had
been in her present position three
years. Then there is that class of
restless mortals who have more ambi-
ton than ability. They apply every
time they hear of vacancy, and if
they hear of no vacancy they ask
when the next one is TO be. They tell
you very frankly that they are worth
a great deal more than they are get
ting, and that they are prostituting
the profession when they work for so
little Once more, there is that foxy
diplomat of teacher who seeks a
place I'm March, accepts it in June,
and holds it until about two weeks
before the school is.to open, then tele-
graphs the board that she has accept
ed else ewhere (at$2 a month more sal
ary.) She calls this.resigning; in law
and common sense il is a violation of
contract. Such conduct under ordi-
nary circumstances is reprehensible
and wholly unworthy of an honest
man or woman.
