while | call attention TO but one
more reason why some teachers quit
the profession?
Teachers enjoy boquet OF words
once in while II IS like an oasis
In desert just to get one word OF
appreciation, but alas! the teachers
-heart is seldom ever made glad by
words OF praise, but on the other
hand, they frequently get words OF
cold criticism which cut like a dag
ger to the heart and cause the
teacher to seek place of solitude In
which to shed bitter tears. II Is
enough TO drive some of them from
the profession.
could call attention to man,
other patent reasons why teachers
quit the profession, and why Others
do not equip themselves for the pro
fession, but space is too scarce.
Now. something must be done In
order to relieve the present condition
and that which will inevitably pre-
vail in the near future, or in -four
years time we will be short fifty pei
cent of teachers, then later no one
will teach except II be from spirit
of love for the work and patriotism
for our country. and what would be
the result? Soon We would be as
Russia, China, India, Mexico and
other countries where ignorance
superstition and pandemonium reign
without a rival.
To the remedy: lnasmuch II cost
the teacher more hard study, time

istry. give them better salaries, a
boarding place and words OF com
fort and consolation. Contributed

There is at least a 25 per cent
shortage of school teachers. not only
in Texas but all over the United
States.
Now. there are causes for TINS
shortage: First. the salary OF the
teacher has not advanced in proper
ton to other wages and salaries;
therefore. many teachers have
sought and found positions which
are more remunerative.
Again. many teachers do not
choose teaching as a lifetime pro-
fession, but rather resort to 1t as a
stepping stone to something higher
and at the present there are so many
openings offered to promising young
men and women and positions, too
that do not require so much prep
aration and equipment, that they
naturally take the course in when
there Is least resistance and accept
other positions. Again, II requires
more study to keep up with tha
teaching profession than II does to
keep up with any other profession
or vocation. except the ministry. The
text books are changed so often that
a teacher must necessarily live in
hooks to keep up with the profess
sion.
Some might suggest, that the
teacher has Saturday for rest and re-
creation. but that is a mistake. IL
takes Saturday to round out the
weeks work. You might also sug-
rest that he has from two to six
months in which to rest and recre-
ate. that, too, is a mistake, because
IN order to keep up he must gener-
ally attend some norma! or buckle
down to study at home. while other
professions and occupations go on
and earn their money. beg to call
attention to one other fact: Many
teachers claim that II is such a hard
matter to get a boarding place that
in some instances they have been
driven to seek other employment
and should the teacher have a fam
fly, there is no house in which for
| him to live, therefore he is turned
away.

1 Didn't Say Ii.

Bro. Tate writes In TO say
This correspondent has written a
good many articles for the Signal

spite OF all his pains to use the right
word and TO make the manuscript
entirely legible. the Signal. through
mistake, of course, hos often made
him say what he did not mean to
say-what he really did not say.
These crooked sentences have often
been embarrassing. Nevertheless. this
correspondent has always endeavor-
ed to maintain charitable spirit
and conclude that the people would
neither blame the writer nor the edi-
tor, but would readily conclude that
II was only typographical error"
and, perhaps. charge II all up to the
devil" as we are in the habit OF
, doing in the case of most all our mis-
takes, blunders and misdeeds.
However this may be, when my
article on "Our Rainfall For Ten
Years appeared last week and the
writer found il cut in pieces and
words enough left out to make 1t
sound ridiculous. although consider
able time had been given to the prep
aration OF the article. just then, on
the spot. this scribe began 10 swell
up. Whether the devil did IL or
not, he declared 1t unjust, shameful
and -! ~. %? ? - -, etc, but
the climax was not yet reached.
When he discovered that his own ar
, ticle, as the devil has II, makes II
appear that he is at least one hun
dred and thirty-odd years old he ex-
ploded and fell all to pieces. He
declared that II was not so, that he
was not making notes on weather
conditions in 1917, at least 1t is GER
tain that he does not remember any
thing back OF the seventies.
Now, IL the devil" has caused this
humble scribe to fan from grace,
what will the end be? The scribe
did not say IL. but the devil or
something-maybe IL was that limo
type machine OF looks as II II might
make a fellow say most anything
says he did,
However this case may be, isn't 1t
fine TO have a scape-goat somewhere
on whose head we may stack up all
our blunders and then, when no one
is looking, to shoe him away to the
wilderness, After all, 1t is often
very convenient to have a printer s
devil behind whom to take refuge
in time of embarrassment Every
thing seems to he useful betimes
JAS. II. TATE.
The Signal regrets any typograph-
zeal blunders. but the things will
occur sometime The original copy
of the weather article II not now
available. else II could be reprinted.
Bro. Tate Is very accurate and we
are ready to assume all responsible
itv for errors. and seriously regret
whatever OF embarrassment he has
suffered in consequence. These err
rors sometimes creep in the final
makeup after the article has passed
the proof reader, and hence are not
noticed until the paper is printed.
