HELPS AND HINTS FOR TEACHERS
No. 1 Believe that You Can.

wv u oChoNC IOu NdH.
First. Believe that you can. A
great many teachers fail to win the
success they might through kind
Of modesty. Perhaps we should
call it fear. Perhaps we should call
1t sleepiness. But at any rate they
do not attempt great things and of
course nobody accomplishes any
thing he does not attemptl Just
now is the time for teachers TO
make up their minds that this term
of school shall not end without real
and great success. You can have il
if you will.
First of all, you can think about
your school. Suppose you were the
supervisor visiting that school.
What would you say were the
points to be commended? And what
would you say were the points on
which improvement should be
sought? Go over the points of a
good school and see where you can
improve.
Second. You can work to increase
the attendance. This is the biggest
single test of a teacher. II the
children come it is q sign that they
are getting some good from the
school and they know It'll When
you study over the matter, you will
see that there are a good many
things which you have not done
and which you can do to make the
school interesting so that the
scholars will like to come. And
there is a good deal which you can
do in explaining to parents the ne
cessity OF having their children in
school every day.
Third. You can make the lessons
more interesting. This means work
before hand. Sit down alone over
each lesson and consider how you
can make the scholars see that that
lesson is real fun. Connect it with
something they know already. Con-
meet it with something they want
to do later on. Give them encour-
agement and joy in preparing the
lesson and in reciting it.
1t is a great thing to make chill
dren enjoy doing their school work.
This is done by encouragement more
than by scolding. Ask some ques-
tions which are very easy-which
you know they can answer-so they
shall get well started and be en-
couraged, and so they shall know
how a good lesson ought to go off. |
Fourth. And you can have do
ings" at the schoolhouse. Besides
the regular lessons there should al
ways be something special on hand
for the children TO talk about. You
can have a spelling match very east
ly. You can have special exercise
IN singing or geography or history
so that the good scholars can per-
Iorm before the whole school. And
you can have a Visitors Day, an
when the parents shall
De invited in. But we must take
Up this matter Of the exhibition in
separate article next week.
All this means work on the part
If the teacher. But no teacher ever
succeeded by simply going to school
when the scholars went and drop
ling the school as soon as they ran
home. Think of those Rowan Coun-
y teachers who have volunteered
heir service and taught night
chools in addition to their day
chools week after week. Think of
lac famous "Hoosier Schoolmaster"
Who lay awake half the night plan
ling just what he would do in
chool next day. Right now in this
asst week OF October is the time for
'ou to take new start and believe
