the brisk north wind taking them
down the lake at a rate that required
but little assistance on the part of the
oars. but when after proceeding about
five miles down the lake they thought
they would turn round and work back
they found one of the oars cracked
The crack did not look like a very bad
one so they went ashore to make re-
pairs but what they did to the oar did
not seem to help matters a great deal,
for they had proceeded but Few rods
from shore when the oar broke, and
with the one oar left they had hard
work getting back to land again.
There was but one thing to do. and
making the boat fast to tree on the
shore they walked five weary miles up

had hired the boat. They caught no
fish and the chances are that they VIII

THREATENING TEACHERS.

Few people not in the profession
know Of the dangers which beset the
teacher and the number OF things
which may conspire to make him lose
his position. OF course there are snnle
unworthy teachers VINO deserve to lose
their positions but the percentage Is
comparatively small. Where a school
superintendent, principal or teacher
loses his position because of ,ncom.
potency, lack of adabtbility or other
good cause he ought not complain bu.
I If he Is tricked or defrauded out Of his
place, he has right to feel injured.
Our attention has been called to q
case In one OF the larger cities Of fnls
State in which book agent has been
trying to force school superintendent
to adopt certain text books, the agent
carrying the matter so far as to tell
the superintendent that he controlled
the Board of Education and his posi-.
ton depended on Whist ne did in the
matter Of adopting certain text books
Another teacher in the same scnoo!
had her salary reduced $10O for the
year and When complaint was m dc
she was instructed to see a certain
book agent about it and perhaps her
salary would be restored. There Is
only one book agent 10 West Virginia
to our knowledge who tries this meth.
cd Of threatening and intimidatlng
teachers, out ne IS constantly doing
such things. 1t is hard to find Ian.
gusge strong enough to express ones
feelings against such practices by an
arrogant.Obull doing book agent. OF
course he overestimates his strength
and talks of things he can't do, for
many Boards Of Education which are
friendly to him are not under his con-
/ troll by any means, but this particular
agent tries to impress upon teachers
that ne can hold their positions for
them or Dust them at his pleasure and
many sup2intenients. principals anil
teachers believe him and through fear
Of his power and influence select ais
company's text books. Public opinion
ought to be SO aroused over such con.
temnIble methods that the boys
would rotten egg an agent who comes
into a town and makes threats against
teachers and superintendent.
