THE TEACHERS BOARDING PLACE.
To Hold Good Teachers Provide Them
With Proper Places.

At rural conferences in several states
this summer the teachers boarding place
was discussed as one of the most per-
picking OF rural school problems. Too
often the rural teacher finds it almost
impossible to secure fit boarding ac-
commodations Well-qualifed teachers
will not stay in place who're boarding
conditions are poor; they viii stay only
until they have attained the teaching
experience required TO qualify them for
village or city school work. As a rule,
communities which provide congenial liv-
conditions secure and hold good teachers.
while those not doing so must take the
poorer teachers, with the result that
their schools are inefficient and iueifect
i've and that the children do not acquire
the interest in the school work that
they should and might.
At this time of the year, therefore,
county superintendent should set the
machinery in motion to see that the best
home in their district is obstained for
boarding place for the teacher. In
order to do her best work and to make
the school the vital factor in the com
munity that it should be, the teacher
must live in the school district and not
Journey back and forth from the neigh
boring town or city either daily or on
Monday morning to return TO the city
again on Friday afternoon.
In certain district in one of the
states OF the middle west the teacher en-
gagged was unable to find a single fam
lily that would furnish her with board
and room. She resigned and contracted
for a school in a neighboring district
where she easily secured good boarding
place. The school trustees in the dis
trict where she resigned preferred
charges against her and asked the coun
ty superintendent to revoke her GER
tifcate His decision, however, was in
favor of the teacher and he notified the
board that another teacher would not be
sent to their district until the best home
was opened to her as a boarding place.
In certain district in one of the
northwestern states the teacher writes
in regard to her boarding place that she
had no privacy. She had her meals at
the same table with the father and
mother and eight children in the family,
and spent the evening preparing herself
for her next days work in the common
living room, She did not object par
ticularlv to this. but added that | do
object, however, to sharing at night the
common sleeping room with the family
OF ten"
\ county superintendent at a confer
ence in one OF the southern states re-
ported during the past summer that the
only place open as boarding place for
one of his teachers was a home where the
husband was living with his second wife
and the wife with her second husband
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-09-15

In this home were FIVE children from the
fathers first marriage, six from the
mothers first marriage, and five from
their second marriage. There were more
children in this home than the theacher
had in her school, and while the parents
were generally in harmony, there was no
general agreement among the three sets
Of children. The teacher was forced to
resort to the schoolhause for privacy IN
her studies.
A New England teacher reports her
experience She went to the community
where she was to teach one week before
school was to open. She intended to
spend one day in arranging for board
ing place; she spent the week however,
The community had many good homes,
any of which were willing to keep her
for one night, but none of which wanted
the teacher as a regular boarder. BY the
end OF the week she had become person
ally acquainted with every family in
the community but had not secured a
boarding place She returned to her nome
and notified the chairman Of the school
board that she would report for duty
as soon az word WAS received from him
:hat a boarding place was arranged for.
Word came promptly. The teacher was
unusually successful as a teacher, UNI
doubtedly due in part to the fact that
she had become personally acquainted
with all her school patrons before school
opened.
In many instances in all sections OF
the country there is another conditions:
A district where some woman OF the Cos.
sipinc type wants to board the teacher
for the sake Of the information concern
ing the children which sharp woman
Of this type is apt to get from her. No
prudent teacher will want to live under
such conditions.
The question of the rural teachers
boarding place is a serious one and de-
serves serious consideration. The best
home in the district should throw its
door wide open and bid the teacher well
come. The best home is none too good
for the teacher whose heart and soul is
in her work. In many states now there
are county superintendent who make It
as much a part of their work to find the
teacher fit boarding place as to find
the teacher for the school. Many good
patrons will refuse an application for
board from the teacher herself, who
would consider it a signal honor to be
automatically solicited by the county
in behalf of the teacher.
Either the best homes must be opened
as boarding places or cottages must be
built at public expense for homes for
the teacher.

$50 HUNTING LICENSES
Have Been Taken Out in Barre-Some
what Fewer Than Last Year.

To-day marked the opening OF the 1914
hunting season and dawn saw re-
spectacle showing of hunters hiking Tor
the woods. Hunting wild game is not
carried on under the most favorable cir
cumstances until the foliage has disap-
peared and many nimrods are postponing
tlieir trips until later in the month and
early October, But the eager ones and
the sporting men who are willing to
take sporting chances if only to spend a
dav in the woods now and then were on
the hunting grounds early to-day. The
general exodus of nimrods" chronicled
each year in the weekly papers viii
come later.
Thus far upwards Of $50 hunting IL
censes have been issued from the city
clerks Office since July Is, when the
year officially opens. This number is
somewhat smaller than the figures in
the same season last year, but the past
few days have witnessed an increased
demand for the permits, Not until the
approach of the open season for deer
will the demand assume anything like
a rush on the clerks Office. Then there
will be licenses issued a plenty and some
of them will be granted to out of the
state hunters The season opens Nov. 10
and continues until Dec, /, Sundays ex-
cepted, so for long time sportsmen
will have to content themselves with
bagging partridges, gray squirrels and
rabbits. Partridges may be hunted from
Sept. Is till Dec. |, rabbits from Sept. 10
to March |, gray squirrels from Sept Is
till Dec. !, snipe and ployer until Dec. J..

Eve Has Always Been Proud of Adam.

In the September American Magazine
Katherine Holland Brown, writing a
story entitled aunt Jane and the Lion
Tanner" tells about girl named Eliza
beth Ann who marries an adventurous
fellow. Jerry Ledyard, who takes his
bride far away to Ecuador on a business
expedition full of risks. Although
Elizabeth Ann is as practical and eau
tious a woman as ever lived, yet she
falls right in with Jerry's plans and
adores him because he is such a plunger.
In other words she is loyal wife with
good sporting qualities. One of the char
acters in the story puts it this way;
"'She dotes on his wild flights, his
headlong risks. And she'll back him up,
always. She'll brag on him, year in,
year out. And when he does pull off his
big success. she'll say she expected it all
the time. She'll stand by jerry Led
yard until the last horn blows.
