LETTERSTO THE EDITOR.
New Teachers Wanted.

Efr. Edttor: In Tuesday mornings Bzfetfn there was an article on Bchnols headed "A Protest regarding the salaries of the teachers. stating that some of the teachers have now, pr have had in former years, parents ur children or other relatives for who~s entire or partial support they are reIponsffle; that 1t is with much Eacridos that such teachers have been able to meet all expenses in the past, asking how it will be with reduced BalzrieEt
 t seems to me from the audible uiurmu1tuKs that have been cur rent for some years past in this city regarding teachers that there was and is a dissatisfaction with some of them. and while 1t is always com mendable to consider anyone employ ed in the schools it is also necessary and of vital importance that the'schol- CTS also be considered.
 In the writer's opinion it is better for the community at large to consid- er the dtsohsrging of an incompetent teacher when it is taken into consid- erataon that in that way it may be haxming ouly one, and by employing an enicienG teacher benefting many: rhEt iB the whole room full of schol- Rrs.
 Age and freficiency do not always 70 hand in hand. as we have some teachers that are not young but are efiic5ent, and vice versa Education today is of vital interest and there ls no reason why a whole room full of Dchoiar5 should Euffer in their edIca- tion to benefit a teacher.
 The article goes on further and states that for thirty years the tax payers of this district have provided their schools with superintendents of ruusua1 character and ability, and have furnished a corps of carefully se- iOcAed and high grade teachers for the schools, etc.
 It may be they have furnished a oWps of carefully selected teachers, but must say that in my opinion they have retained a great many teachers that are not high grade and that repiacements should be made
 Furthermore, while l understand the law is that the school board shall hire the teachers, yet what concern would have its board of directors hire it's employes2 It seems to me that fbe superintendent is in much better standing when he has the opportunity 10 pass on and engage his own teach CTS.

JUST ITO DE 4 CHILD.

 Just to be a child agsin, And in memory, to creep Back to drowsy twilight when Mother rocked me there 70 sleep Just to hear. in meilowed croon, In my ears again once more, That familiar slumber tune Which she sang In days Of yore. Just to know that when the cares Crowd me- with the worlds alarmA can leave lifc's ills and snares For the shelter of her arms. That, upon her loving breast, l can have sweet peace Of minds And from every worry rest, Leaving every woe behind. Just to kneel at mothers knee. In the fading twilight there, With her arms encirciing me, As lisp my evening prayer. Just to feel her face to mine, As our lips n kisses press, Ana to see the love-light shine In her eyes, with each caress. Just to be a child and know That though friends may prove un-
 true, Mothers love will ever grow Stronger all my lifetime through. Just 10 be a child and feel That, when evening shadows creep To her glad arms l may steal To be rocked to dreamy sleep.

Can the Poor Afford It7
Norwich. July IS.

Mfr. Editor: Allow me to say just a few words in reply to MT. Shahan in reEard to certified milk in Norwich. The writer sold milk in Norwich be- fore Dr. Shahan was born. and if the consumers were one-half as careful of fhe disbes that milk is put in as the millunsn are of the milk, there would be less sickness. I have fed a good many babies. and do not know of any that have died of tuberculosis. Certi- fled mix may be.all right. but can the poor ciass of people afford to pay 12 or IS cents per quart at the present fimeg
 In regard to bacteria, at our last test it was less than 1000. and other miilzmen can show the same. I think I have carried milk in Norwich longer than any other milldnan, and havev customers that have had milk for over forty years of me.
