closing Of the schools, then 1t is our
opinion that the trustees should
make good the difference between
the two figures.
We believe firmly in the obliga-
| tion that rests upon the trustees to
carry out the financial obligation in
! Cured in the employment of a teach
or at a given sum for given period;
We belive just as firmly in the obli-
cation Of tho teacher to the public
that no unnecessary drain shall be
made upon the public funds.
This is an instance where thorough
cooperation on the part Of trustees
and teachers will result in great
good. The present situation is one
that could not be foreseon. There
should be candid and conscientious
cooperation between both parties.
In such case tho public funds will
suffer little, and the teachers-and
they as class certainly give their
services for a compensation redicu-
lously low-can at least come out Of
the situation without loss.
The teaching forces are already
too small. If We permit the public,
as represented by the various boards
of trustees, to deal unfairly with
them. then certainly we cannot
blame the teachers for abandoning
'he work chosen by them for other
lines, leaving the schools to the
inercy OF less competent ones. The
public school teacher standard must
he raised, not lowered. A fair and
square deal now with the teachers
y i'll go long way to at least main
tanning the present standard. Re-
rudiation Of the teachers term or
session contracts will operate to dis
gust the competent and conscien-
tious teachers and drive them into
other lines Of occupation.
Let the public take an interest in
these matters and see that the teach
"r receives Il square deal. Other
wise we may find in the near future
that We have pursued Il course OF
penny wisdom and pound folly.
