GENTLEMEN OF THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION

BOARD OF EDUCATION
In this, the third of my mid-year
reports, it has been suggested that
set forth my views as to the en-
ployment of so-called home" teach
ers.
AT the outset of this discussion
it is we'll to remember that our pub
lie schools are for the benefit OF the
children and are not maintained for
the purpose of providing anybody
with employment. The mere fact
that a Lambertville girls relatives
are Lambertville taxpayers is no
argument, per Sc, that she is en-
titled to draw a salary from the
city, and must not be permitted to
outweigh other considerations. On
this point the. Board has been IN
strict accord and it is high ground
which cannot we'll be disputed.
With the expressed view of the
members of this Board, however,
that "Other things being equal the
L,ambertville girl should have the
preference" in the commonly ac-
cented meaning of that phrase, l
cannot agree for the following
reasons
First, the home teacher is handi-
capped in much the same way as is
the proverbial prophet who is
not without honor save in his own
country Familiarity is quite likely
to breed contempt if not on the
part of the pupil then possibly on
the part of the parent when a
difference of opinion arises as to the
hest procedure for the welfare OF
the child. The teachers authority
is questioned, her learning is I'M
pugned, even her antecedents are
disparaged, and that all too fire.
ouently in the presence of the child
himself. Most parents work in har-
mony with the teacher for the chlld's
betterment. Some parents some
times unfortunately do not.
Second, the teacher who lives at
home has not her time outside OF
school hours at her own disposal.
Her help with the homework, II
not actually expected by the rest OF
the family, too often seems to her
to he necessary to avoid the appear
ance of Sinking. There is a con-
seouent and constant drain on the
time and vitality which belong to
her employers and most of all to
her pupils. Time for preparation
of her work, time for relaxation,
are as necessary parts of the teach
er's daily program as her presence
in the classroom itself. The fact that
teachers family needs the money

$1,000 or $4,000, this would make
