WORTH MORE TO B RU SH
DUST FROM THE SCHOOL
ROOM FLOOR THAN COb-
WEBS FROM THE BRAIN

After spending over 80 years in the
school room as instructor; after devot-
ing more than three decades of his
life to teaching the children Of his
country the rudiments Of good citi-
zenship and launching them in a ca
reeI of usefulness and honor an aged
teacher of this county has declined
to accept position as teacher in the
primary department OF one of our pub
lie schools and decided TO apply for
the place OF "janitor" soon TO be-
come vacant.
D. G. Dotson OF Ringing applied
for a position as teacher in the pri-
mary department of the Wilson school,
but when ne learned that the salary
was but s75 per month, it is alleged
he withdrew his application. and.
learning that the janitor contemplat-
ed resigning the teacher, 1t is said,
applied for the latter Place, as the
salary paid for such duties was s125
per month, with far less responsibility
attached TO the job.
Mr.. Dotson during his career as
teacher has attended summer schools
and normals, and has kept himself
abreast OF the times he has taught in
many places in North Texas and
southern part OF the old Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma. and is con-
sdered well-quaiified instructor
During this time he has trained over
1000 teachers in thei- life work and
has been devoted 10 his profession
all these years.
Whether he viii be appointed jani-
tor or not is unknown at this time,
but he says that he much prefers that
job at the salary, with but a few
hours work attached, TO that of teach
ing from six to eight hours per day
and the responsibility OF the well
fare of schoolroom full of children,
upon his shoulders.
