School Teachers Too Young

81 have a theory writes Robert
NJ. Gay, that we should confine the
teaching of boys only to women who
have been married. My reason is not
because she will have had children,
! merely demand that she shall have
had husband. A years association
with him will have aroused in her
mind doubts Of the perfectibility Of
mankind. She will then be ready to
teach boys" Men or women school
teachers Of mature years make the
best of teachers because they know
more of the world and human nature
than a young person Of 16, Is or 20,
who hasn't at that age begun to find
out how much he doesn't know even
Of himself. But until it is possible
to make a living and support fam
lily by teaching school, teaching will
continue to be the pin money side
line it now is, especially in the coun-
try districts. Make school teaching
worth while and good teachers will be
plenty. Less politics in the country
schools and consolidation wherever
possible, is the way to better schools
and better teaching for country boys
and girls, who should be given the
best common school education to be
had in America, because often this
is all the schooling they can obtain
