There can be neither comfort nor good

The Wrong
Number


This morning Mrs. Globule told me
that she called me up on the phone last
night" said Mrs. Nidgican. "She said
she made a mistake. She forgot that
our number was 1888 and called for
1899. She got the number she asked
for and said, Is this you?

Mrs. Globule took it for granted that
the person speaking was |, so she
said, III be right over The womans

ahead, and bring a lunch with you it
you are going to stay long. And then
the unknown party hung up the phone.

that to Mrs. GIobule! And | went out
today and wasn't home when she got
here! If that wasn't mean trick for
someone to play Oil her! l will report
the whole matter to the telephone COM
pany and have them apologize, and
somebody ought to be discharged"
Il don't see," contended Nidgican,
"why anybody should be discharged.
Your friend called the wrong number
and got the wrong number. She got
what she asked for-no kick coming on

/ am sure we never met before. Nor
can I classify it without your aid
The waiter sWOre that I had ordered
that very thing.
Nov in the case of the phone, I
have no doubt that the man whose
phone number is 1898 suffers consider
able annoyance from your friends

said: ooh a couple of million will do
very nicely, thank you,' and she hung

she has to spend for board away
from home is not an argument in
favor of the employment of the
home teacher. That her family
needs her at home" is an actual
argument against her.
Third, the home teacher, if she
does not prove successful or if her
work falls off with no likelihood of
improvement, is extremely hard to
get rid of. Relatives and friends
of relatives rally to her support and
encourage her to fight, perhaps re-
gardless of the rights of the child
rem in her charge to the best in
struction the city can afford them.
If an attempt to remove her is I'M
successful, her position thereafter
is rendered doubly difficult If it is
successful there inevitably follows
an era Of bad feeling working to
the considerable detriment of her
successor. With this contingency
constantly in mind it behooves the
Board to be doubly careful in the
selection of home teachers. 1t takes
three years really to prove" a
teacher and no teacher should ex-
pect to be employed at home
until she has had three years ex-
perience away from home. Her
employment even then should be
conditioned on her furnishing in
dubitable evidence that she is above
the average in ability. Experience
is, of course, an asset to a teacher
if it is the right kind of experience
and if she is the right kind of teacher,
but it must not be lost sight of that
the wrong kind of experience, or
any experience of the wrong kind
of teacher, may very possibly itself
in turn become a handicap.
To summarize, then, the home
teacher labors under very definite
handicaps. Her prospective effici-
ency depends on her ability to over
come these handicaps. To be a
successful candidate for a position
it is not enough that she be the
equal of other candidates: she should
be their superior. In this connection
| am glad to record that the home
teachers at present employed in the
city of Lambertville do overcome
their handicaps and are still above
the average in efficiency by a good
safe margin. Nevertheless this does
not minimize the need of care in
future selections.
Home Study.
Members of the Board have asked
me to recapitulate the arguments
in favor of prohibiting home study
in the grades below the High School
and also to secure an expression of
opinion from the teachers as to the
advisability of continuing the pres
ent system. Permit me to read
from my report of two years ago:
