EDUCATIONAL.
BY G.. w. MEISNEST

Ninety-one schools of the county
opened last Monday or Tuesday. The
teachers are back in the school room
again ready to withstand a siege of
nine months of good earnest work.
The first work a teacher must do es-
pecially if she be in new school is to
organize the school. To do this she
must know the conditi tions and under
stand the children. In order to under
stand the children it is necessary in
most cases to become acquainted with
the parents. The teacher must also
know what she is going to teach. She
ought to know in a general way what
she expects to do this year in the var
ous subjects and then plan according
| ly. Teachers must not forget it is
| their first business to teach well the
subjects of the Course of Study. They
should be taught so well as to commend
the respect of every patron of the dis
trict.
| We have emphasized thoroughness
in the past; but, let thoroughness be
even more emphasized this coming
year 1t is not, by how much we ac-
complish that we are measured, but,
by how we'll we do things Accuracy
and thoroughness are the two great
qualities of n good teacher.
Teachers should keep as close as
possible to real life. Teach things
more, and books less. This is good
time of the year to interest children in
fall nature.
More attention ought to be paid to
writing in the country schools. The
| work done by Mr.. Book at our insti-
tute ought to suggest the method that
should be employed. Do not teach
| writing as a side line. Writing is not
busy-work, it must be taught at regu-
lar periods in order to accomplish de
sired results.
