TEACHERS TALK TOO
MUCH, SAYS HATCH
Superintendent OF Oak Park Schools
Declares Pupils Are the Ones To
Give Voice TO Their Impressions
and Not Instructors

Give VOICE UO lneIr lnpTcSSiOho
and Not Instructors.
Chicago IA device to close the
mouths OF teachers and open the
mouths Of the pupils would be the
salvation of our educational system"
said William F. Hatch, superintendent
of schools at Oak Park, in an address
on Recitation" before the session OF
the Cook County Teachers institute
at the Wendell Phillips high school.
Instructors usurp the speaking
privileges of the class room, and take
from the pupils their rlghtful posses
sion, according to Mr.. Hatch.
Telling a child to study a lesson
means nothing" he said. "The
teacher merely imparts an order and
instills only resentful attitude in
the mind of the pupil, whose compre-
hension of such an order Is erroneous.
He is not told to remember the les
son, or recite and discuss it, but
merely to study. Half the task of the
teacher is in the proper assignment
OF the lesson and instructing the pu-
pil in the correct method of study.
''Should Grade Studies"
at is wrong to ask the pupil to ex-
ert himself beyond his mental ca
pacity. That is a prevailing fault In
the majority of our schools When
majority percentage of class fails
to properly prepare itself by study
for a recitation the fault lies with the
teacher not with the pupil.
Teachers should talk less in the
class room and give the pupil more
opportunity to voice his thoughts and
impressions of lessons. More is learn
ed in the discussion of studies in the
class room after the adjournment OF

High Cost OF Living in 1855

Talk about the high price of
living and railroad rates. When
the editor of this paper com
menced keeping house" in Jan
uary 1868, he paid twenty dollars
for the first Darrell of flour he
ever bought; and three dollars to
have it hauled from Shreveport,
via Benton, to Bellevue thirty
miles But prices were higher
than this in 1855 or 1865, when
Red river was not navigatable
for even the lightcst draught
steamboats, above the falls at
Alexandria, and merchandise
for Shreveport was hauled by
mule and ox-teams from Alexan-
dria and Lake Providence on the
Mississippi river. If our mem
Dry is not at fault, some Shreve-
porters paid as much as twenty
dollars a Darrell to have flour
hauled by wagon from Lake
Providence Anyway, biscuits
were biscuits, in those good old
days, and flour was so scarce at
one time that the Caddo Gazette
printing Office could not buy,
borrow or beg enough to make
paste, necessary in mailing it's
edition for that week, and had to
use u substitute. Benton Ia

LARGE Salaries

The graduates of the Tyler
Commercial College, Tyler Tex.
draw the largest salaries of any
business college graduates in the
state. The reason is plain.
This school gives the most thor
ough, complete and extensive
courses of stenography, business
training and telegraphy to be
found anywhere. With our ad
vantages of the modern famous
Byrne systems of bookkeeping
and shorthand we reduce the
time required in other schools.
If you are acquainted with the
average business college gradu
ate you know they go out and
work in offices as helpers, or
where the work is light. at most
any price to get a start, many
working for Sc and S. per week.
This is not SO with the gradual
es of the Tyler Commercial Col
lege. Our thorough, practical
courses give the student the
traing and experience that en-
ables him to go into and hold the
better class of positions vacated
by experienced help, and there
by draw good salary from the
very first. The advanced salary
that our students draw over the
salaries received by graduates
of other schools would make it
cheaper for the student to attend
our school and pay the full rate
of tuition than to attend another
school with tuition free
1t is a positive fact that we
cannot supply the demand for
our graduates of bookkeeping
and shorthand or telegraphy.
Write for and read our 500

from former students; note the
excellent salaries they state they
are receiving. No other school
will back their advertising with
such a guaranty. If you can't
