"A teacher ought to improve with
experience. But this is not always
true Many teachers teach their best
schools during the first year. If one
will make a careful study of his work,
and put into practice the lessons he
learns he will improve with expert

But much that we do is done with
out thought; it is merely matter of
routine. A teacher ought to know his
weakness. Then he ought to strive
to rid himself of these weaknesses.
There is no better way for teacher
to improve than by visiting other
schools If one is poor in discipline
he should visit we'll disciplined
school; if he can not teach physiology
let him visit some teacher who can
teach it.
A teacher should firmly resolve to
make each year a little better. We
remain as we are. We will
either go forward or backward. And
when we begin to go backward it is
nigh time to leave the school oom."-
