do not let these trifles worry me.
We must not fear the storm Of criti
cism that is ap. to arise when We
are introducing some new method.
No great work has been accomplish
ed without more or less criticism.
Give the method a fair trial, and II
Il proves satisfactory, hold on to It..
Though the parent does object to hay-
Ing his child taught the new method
we should not yield for we will gain
his good will in the end. We must
do what we think best for the child,
not what somebody else thinks.
Suppose a parent brings his child
to school with a new third reader,
and informs the teacher that his boy
is now ready for 1t. lie finished mis-
second reader last year, went thru
It three times. He also informs you
that John did not have fair chance
last year. The scholars we're mean
to him, the teacher would not punish
the other boys.
After the father goes away John is
called around to rccite. lie is told
to read lesson XIX, but he fails
completely. lie can read the first
lesson, however-knows every word
by heart. Then you hand him a sec
ond reader and he fails in it also
In fact he would be a poor student
in the lowest class. What are you
going to do with him? He has his
new third reader; he can read tn
first two lessons like a whirlwind,
and his father has already told you
his abilities. There are only two
things that you can do. one is to let
him stay in the third reader and be
a drag to the class; the other is TO
40 your duty and put him back where
he belongs. IL will be far better for
him, for you, and for the school to

What are You going to 90 abcut
the superstitious idea that the major
ity of Old folk believe in? You can
not change the belief of an old man
and make him think that the sun
does not go around the earth, but
you can teach the children to know
and realize that day and night are
caused by the rotation of the earth
You cannot make an old man change
his idea that you must plant, SOW,
reap and kill at certain phases of the
moon. But you can teach and demon

sists in these loosely connected facts,
which barely serve him until the ex-
aminations are over and then be-
cause OF a lack of depth wither away.
Now the Normal Department of Be
rea College, does not wish to dispar-
age teachers certificates. On the con-
trary it keeps constantly in mind the
fact that these conditions must be
met and the examinations passed be-
fore its students can carry back to
their respective districts the know
ledge gained here. But in addition 20
these text book facts. which are good,
the department proposes to give some
thing that is vastly better, that is,
the power to think in terms of
these facts. Furthermore its students
receive careful instruction in meth
DDS of teaching, organization of the
school, classification Of students and
general administration. And yet this
Is not all. There are the practice
teaching classes, free instruction in
music, the use of the largest Col
lege Library in the state, splendid
lecture courses, the model Sunday
School, and the inestimable value
that comes to enc from being associat-
ed with teachers and students from
over thirty states and many foreign
countries.
We still have room for a few more

And finally to quote Hoffman,
"Sloyd has for It's aims, as a means OF
formal instruction--to instill love fol
work In general, 10 create a respect
for honest, bodily labor; to develop
self-relIancc and independence; TO
train 10 habits OF order, exactness,
cleanliness and neatfess; TO teach
habits Of attention. industry and per-
severence; TO promote the develop
ment OF the physical powers; to train
the eye to the sense OF form and to
cultivate the dexterity OF the hand"
Sloyd aims at individual work,
thereby giving the student the valu-
able Information Of seeing the model
grow from rough board at first TO
finished product and a thing Of beau
ty. For instance, boy makes a chair
He makes n rough draft, bill Of

several steps that are included In
Its evolution from the crude to the

able one in his own progress.
Then too he is held to rigid exact
ness, both as to measurements and
workmanship. lie is told that mod

thick. II any thing short of this is
found In the finished piece. II should
be made over Just as lesson should
be assigned second time, only the
error is more graphically told in the

the mental process of lesson getting.
This striving TO live up TO an ideal

NORMAL TRAINING FOR RURAL
TEACHER

Last year only nine percent of the
rural school teachers in Kentucky
taught where they had taught before.
That means that ninety one out of
each hundred taught in new districts.
under new and strange conditions;
and for the most part their schools
were mere experiments. II is readily
! seen that a great loss in efficiency
both to teacher and schools must
be the result of such a condition.
What is the explanation Of this
wholesale shifting from place TO
place? IL must be that either the
teacher does not suit the position or
the position does not suit the teacher.
| am persuaded that the fault I'm
the main lies with the teacher. For.
after all, the district is largely what
the teacher chooses to make It. IL
lis Influence is not felt throughout
the community, and II definite results
do not follow in the form of better
social conditions, better modes of liv-
ing and a higher moral standard,
then he has failed, utterly. whatever
his class room record may show.
Instead of such teacher moving
on to a new district he should move
out of the profession altogether. II
may be true that, "He who fights and
runs away will live to fight another
day." But he who teaches and runs
away is not worthy to teach another
day.
Let us see why this inefficiency ex-
lists on the part of so many rural
teachers. Is it because of a lack VI
interest, enthusiasm and good inten.
lions; or is it lack in ability 20
carry these into effect? | believe that
the fault is in the head and not the
heart" The rural teachers as a class
desire to do more than draw their
pay. But many of them have made
the mistake in supposing that their
battles were all won when their
certificates were secured. They fail
ed to have a vision which reached be-
yond these formal requirement to the
little one room school house filled
with eager minds ready for the
golden touch of the teacher.
Here is a condition sufficient to tax
the ingenuity of the wisest head. And
yet how strange that this all i'm
portant view of the field should be
overlooked by the would. be-teachsr
who has visions only of a certificate,
which he regards as an end and not
a means.
Because of this condition he goes
to the "cram school, whose only
motive is to inject sufficient number
of facts into the students mind 10
enable him to pass the County exam
nation.
What then could be expected OF
