family that would furnish her with
contracted for school in a neighbour
district whore she easily secured a
good boarding place. The school
trustees in the district where she re-
signed preferred charges against her
and asked the county superintendent
TO revoke her certificate. His deci-
sion, 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 a 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 i'm the common living room. She
did not object particularly TO this,
but added that j do object. how
ever to sharing at night the common
sleeping room with the family Of ten"
a county superintendent at a con-
ference in one Of the southern States
reported during the past summer that
the only place open for one Of
his teachers was in home where the
husband was living with his second
wife and the wife with her second
husband. In this home were five chill
dren from the fathers first marriage.
There were more children in this
home than the teacher 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 schoolhouse for
privacy in her studies.
A New England teacher reports her
experience: She went TO the com
munity where she was to teach one
week before school was to open. She
intended to spend 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
become personally acquainted with
every family in the community but had
not secured a boarding place. She re-
turned to her home and notified the

BOARDING
PLACE IS A MOST
PERPLEX|NG QUESTION
SAYS RURAL SCHOOL LETTER
ISSUED BY THE DEPART
MENT OF INTERIOR

The u. S. Department Of the In
terror, Bureau of Education, has
issued the following Rural School
Letter on the Teachers Boarding
Place:
At rural conference in several
States this summer the teachers
boarding place was discussed as one
Of the most perpleXing Of rural school
problems. Too often the rural teach
er finds it almost impossible to secure
fit boarding accommodations Well
qualified teachers will not stay in a
place where boarding conditions are
poor; they will stay only until they
have attained the teaching experience
required to qualify them for village or
city school work AS rule. COM
munities which provide congenial liv-
ing conditions secure and hold good
teachers. while those not doing so
must take the poorer teachers, with
the result that their schools are in
efficient and ineffective and that the
children do not acquire the interest
i'm 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 dis
trict is obtained for a boarding place
for the teacher. In order to do her
best work and to make the school
the vital factor in the community that
it should be, the teacher must live in
the school district and not journey
backand forth from the neighboring
town or city either daily or on Mon
day morning to return to the city
again on Friday afternoon.
In a certain district i'm one of the
States OF the middle west the teacher
engaged was unable to find a single

many, have seemed TO be suicidal To-
day the action taken at the Indiana
Progressive state convention pledging
the party to work for the elimination
of all breweries and saloons in the
state and endorsing the Sheppard
Hobson resolution for National Pro-
hibition is commented upon by such
a conservative periodical as the Out
look, "as very significant throughout
the country against the liquor traffic
and the vice it promotes-a sentiment
which deserves the sympathy of every
good citizen"
In this connection it is interesting
to note that Clifford Pinchot, candi-
date for nomination as United States
Senator by the Washington Progress
ives, incorporated the following plank
in his platform:
National option as to the liquor
traffic through constitutional
amendment giving the people Of the
nation the right to decide for them
selves"
