How to Havo a
Good School.

ately, conditions as they recent
ly existed in the Moye school
district has been handed the
News with request for its
publication.
In order to have a success
full school, it is necessary that
the district has sufficient f.
nance to justify a good teach
err, and to obtain this, if so re-
quired. the district should be
ready to vote a liberal special
tax Of not less than two or
three mills. In electing d.
rectors be careful to choose
Sam Dolittle and John Trail
weather for two and old Broth
er Bellweather, who has for
some time acted in this capacity
and has always managed to
have from one and a half to
three months school every year,
should be the third man. Let
it be the exclusive duty of the
directors to attend to the re-
pairing and equipping of the
school house preparing water,
fuel, etc, and do everything to
which there is attached any
special trouble, and in case of
the death or absence of all the
other patrons, allow them to
employ a teacher. If the d.
rectors should dare employ a
teacher without first calling a
meeting and taking a majority
vote of the patrons, said pa
irons should kick high and
strong and say all manner of
evil against said teacher. thus
showing their principle and in
telligence. Do not employ a
teacher who demands a better
enumeration than you realize
out of your cotton crop, for he
has a pleasant, easy job and it
didn't cost you anything to
prepare for his profession. If
the patrons fail to discharge
their duty in preparing for the
school, the teacher must not
complain in the least; but if he
fails in any particular, the pa
irons must howl loud and
strong. If after employing a
teacher, there be a shortage in
finance, the directors should
proceed to find fault with the
teacher, in order, if possible, to
beat the contract. This is
business.
Before beginning his school
the teacher should consult all
the patrons thereof, as to how
he should conduct it, as they
are supposed to know more
about that than he; and by all
means, he should advise with
old sister Rulerroost, who
wears the pants at home. and is
ever ready for another pair.
Patrons should never visit
their school to see how things
are going, but must always be
ready to listen to what the chill
dren have to say as they are
fully able to understand and
are always ready to speak the
truth; and especially if the
teacher is making it a little
warm for them.
The teacher should command
and keep good order in school
and the trustees should see
that he does have order.
If you desire a good school,
do these things and you will
know of the doctrine.
