IN DEFENSE OF TEACHERS.
Correspondent Commends the Public
School System.
(Conmunicated).

June 29, 1915.
To the Editor of the Evening Capital /.
In reference to letter by Mr.. J.
S. Daniels, June 81, wherein he ex-
pressed his "desire to protest most
vigorously against our system which
retains an incompetent staff of teach.
ers.'
Don't you think this rather one.
sided accusation? BY being in har-
mony with his statement do we not
excuse or suppress the more potent
factors that make for retarding q
child's progress in its study with
greater certainty than any possible in.
competency on behalf of our school
teachers.
That our school system is inviting
new thoughts and up-to-date execu.
tives we will all admit and we thrust
the responsibility for improvement
upon the rank and file.
1t is worthy of note, that all the
children are considering the time at
school vexatiously long and rightly so,
which fact awakes our s'senses to the
realization that we are placing an
oppressive burden upon the tender age
of the young. .Six hours at school
per day is stretch of time two hours
too long. Remember, please, every
thing is tending towards shorter hours
to work and why not have the children
reap some of its benefit too.
Let US further observe. that long
hours in any capacity are fatiguing to
both mind and body, causing nervous
prostration and desperation which
often ends in rebellion. Parents would
do we'll if they too bore some of the
fun in assisting their children studv-
ing at home. keeping them from the
streets at night and afford them their
indispensable hours of rest.
Some children are suffering from va
rious physical debilities unknown to
parents and teachers that often causes
them to fail.
AS to the personnel of teachers let
me say from my observation l found
them to be an exceedingly intelligent
and noble class of women.
Very respectfully,
E. d. EHLE.
