Educational.

To the Editor of the Republican:
Compulsory school attendance may
work well in cities and towns, but we
doubt the wisdom of extending it to all
sections OF the country.
Our odious vaccination law should be
amended by ournew legislature. Proper
health authorities should see that vacci-
nation is done when and where there is
actual necessity for it.
It's debatable question whether our
rural schools are better than they for
merly were, notwithstanding the in
creased cost of maintaining them.
About onethird of our teachers each
year are new ones, many of whom are
new birds" 'Boob-learning, strict ex-
animation. superintendent all of these
can make good teachers out OF a lot of
immature kids.
Experience is the best teacher "
therefore those having experience in
this profession should receive necessary
encouragement so that they would make
it life work, and in no case should one
be turned down who has been successful
in this high calling.
Much of our institute instruction has
but little practical value to teachers
Neither can the course of study provid-
ed be literally carried out in country
schools; but teachers should use every
means to increase their proficiency.
About ninc-tenths of our boys and
girls fail to go beyond the fifth grade,
therefore they should be thoroughly
taught the essential things they so much
need to know. These are reading, writ
ing, spelling and arithmetic Some his
tory and geography, and good morals
and good manners should be supple
mented.
When the country school teacher
gives due attention to the above, his
time will have been exhausted.
Believing that our school management
will welcome suggestions having tor
their object the betterment of our pub
lie schools, we have contributed these
imperfect thoughts. HoosIER.
