Sacrificing tho Woman.

That Carlyle could contemplate with
euuanimity being unpraised, unmoney-
ed and neglected all his life. that he
required neither the worlds pudding
nor its breath and could be happy
without them, was pardonable and per
haps commendable. That he should
expect another person to share this
unmoneyed. puddingless and rather
forlorn condition was scarcely con-
sistent with such lofty principles. Men
may sacrifice themselves, If they please,
to imagined high duties and ambitions.
but they have no right to marry wives
and sacrifice them. Exchange.

CITY SCHOOLS

AMeSSTS. john NJ. IdWrtuce anu W.
If. Dansby, members of the board of
trustees, recently visited the Westside
school, inspected the buildings and
grounds, and visited the classes taught
by the various teachers. Members OF
the board frequently visit the schools
in order to secure personal knowledge
of the work and conditions.
Mrs. 7. R. Bate and daughters, Mr..
Park and Mr.. Gamer were visitors to
the manual training department at
different times not long since.
Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. McCulloch
spent some time recently enjoying the
fine work that Miss Burtis is doing.
A visit to her room to see the way
she handles those children will inter
est anyone at any time.
Dr. Frederick Eby, representing the
University of Texas, has made his re-
port to the university, strongly CON-
mending al the work and all the
teachers in the high school, which
means the teachers of grades eight,
nine, ten and eleven, as they are
usually called. He says he is willing
to. recommend that additional credit
be granted by the university on the
work done here. That is a high COM
lpliment paid our school by man of
eminent attainments But that is
what it means to have the high school
department work done by men and
women who have taken courses in col
leges and universities of the first
class and have secured permanent
certificates, as those who teach in our
high school have done.
Just to show that the Bryan schools
are keeping step with the onward
progress of educational movements,
read this from last years report of
one association: "The minimum scho-
lastic attainment of all high school
teachers shall be equivalent to grad
uatiop from a college, . in
Guiding special training in the sub
jects they teach This, shows that
Bryan is in the first rank in the edu.
cational advancement which is COM
ing, and that the educational world
now requires of high school teachers,
| Just as it requires more of elementary
school teachers, than formerly. Give
Bryan the best to be had in schools,
and go forward in educational mat.
tiers. The Bible says: Speak to the
children of Israel that they go for
ward" That is what is needed in
school work all the time. That is what
we are doing now That is what we
are emphasizing, and that is why more
is required of teachers in this work
than formerly.
Again, great deal more is required
OF teachers in the elementary grades
now than was formerly the case. In
good scohols these days it requires
about as much in educational attain.
ments to teach in grades five. six and
seven as was required of high school
