subject Tor the press, but be-
ing so forcibly impressed by
your article entitled, ''The Consolida-
ton of Schools Is to Be Deplored," in

ture out.
Having been in the school room
some seven or eight years myself,
teaching the country and village
school, mingling among teachers at
county Institutes and other educa-
tional organizations, this afforded me
ample opportunity to observe and de-
tect some of the excellence and i'm
projections, the weakness and
strength, the sincerity and deception,
bravery and cowardice, of teachers.
AS a class, Sir, the teachers are a
gallant army of grand soldiers NOV
ing over the country, not with sword
and musket to inflict tyranny and
death on the sons and daughters, but
to wage terrific and deadly war
against ignorance, to enlighten and
train the plant minds of the noblest
race on earth. He isolates himself
from the glittering, enticing of the
world; always ready to help, to in
struct, untiring in his effort to en-
noble their lives, to fortify their
brains, to incite them to things lofty
and wholesome.
Democracy is the sovereign in the
school room of today; despotism was
the monarch of past days. AS a class
the teacher strongly condemns cor
poral punishment. Actually, laws are
enacted against it. Twenty years ago
girls were frequently whipped. Now,
teachers are whipped for threatening
such a thing. I taught one village
school and did not find it necessary
to bring a switch into the school:
schools of this kind are hard to find.
The teacher, as a class knows, he
feels, he practices, that the school
not his schOOl-does exist, not for
the teacher or for the patron, not for
the big or the little, not for the rich
or the poor, nor for any Individual;
but first and last for the people.
He feels that responsibility, civic
and divine; he knows that the desti-
ny of this grand republic is found
within the school room. What we
put into the schools today, will be
found in the nation tomorrow.
AS a class he is true to his cause,
patient, sympathetic, forbearing. He
fights battles, fierce and bitter. The
school is his unframed army, often
defiant, rebelious; and, as their lead
er, he encourages, he pictures the
glOries, the advantages of a Guilt
waited brain; he proves by his sin
