Securing a School.

This is the time when the School teach.
er(?) goeth forth in search of school
when he may hiberate during the time
that cold Boreas' holds sway on this
part of our Mundane sphere.
The teacher should not on such occa-
sions, deem him or herself the only per.
son worthy of consideration.
Don't try to do some one else' in order
TO get school.
remember bit of wholesome advice
on this subject given bv former county
supt Shroyer never apply for school
when you know some one else has the
promise OF it, ?
He might have gone little further and
have added. Don't take school when
there is anything like formidable opposi-
ton TO you among the patrons.
Remember that without the co opera
ton OF the patrons, you stand but little
chance ri success.
Never accept school where you are
not wanted, you will enjoin yourself,
spoil the school and waste the money.
Don t understand me to say that every
body should be ''for you" for this is
almost too much to effect, but don't take
a school when a majority are opposed to
you.
Don't get mad and fly into passion,
should the trustees decline to give you
a school as they may have good reason
for their action and not wish to tell
you.
Recently | heard of a teacher(?) who
when trustee declined to promise him
the school, ''got mad and threaten to
lido all the dirt" he could. This was
verv wrong and no one guilty of such an
act is fit 10 teach any school--infact the
certificate of such tea cher(?) should be
revoked.
Such person is parasite on the pro-
fession and a stumbling block in the road
of progressive education.

the old road is rooted up with a scarf

pared, shaped and rolled hard with a

minimum depth of seven inches Is laid
right on the natural subsoil.
Slide rails of 2 by inch lumber are
used. and these are protected on top
by a two inch angle iron When the
concrete has become sufficiently firm
to permit the removal of the rail the
finishers pare off the outer edges, which
are formed next to the rails to prevent
a sharp dividing line between the con-
crete and the gravel shoulder.
The concrete Is put down wet, so that
no tamping is necessary after it is
once placed When this is done no
workman is permitted in any way to
disturb the concrete by stepping in it
or throwing anything on it. The strike
off men use a plank trimmed to the
curvature of the road and iron bound
on the lower edge. 1t rides smoothly
on the iron edge of the form boards or
rails at the side of the concrete and is
handled with sufficient care to elimi-
nate the necessity of any considerable
floating by the follow up men.
These foaters work on a bridge
which rests on the form planks at the
edge of the road, so there is never any
contact with the concrete This rule
