Some Suggestions and Educationa
Principles

l. Teach the student to work con-
sciously, not unconsciously.
2. A recitation is almost valueless
unless something definite is done.
B. Lead the student to discover facts
Tor himself
4. Students should be trained to hear
correctly and to comprehend quickly.
Corollary: Do not repeat questions.
5. The habit of studying may be ac-
complished by methodical, persistent,
exacting teaching.
6. Teach language, not grammar
alone
z. The purpose in solving an arith-
metlc problem is not merely to get
the answer but to acquire the power
to do.
Teach, test, and teach again if nee
essary.
8. Inability to learn in an advanced
course is more than likely due to poor
work in an earlier course, or grossly
bad study habits, or to the fact that
the student is lesson getter."

SMITH COUNTY
SCHOOL NEWS
School Legislation

Nothing so far has been done for
common schools of the state. But the
General Assembly almost unanimous
ly voted to increase the appropriation
to the State University by one hun
dred fifty per cent
This will give the University about
one million dollars each year. Five
cents is levied on all the taxable prop
erty of the state to raise this revenue.
They wanted this for the benefit of
the farmers.
AS far as call to mind not single
graduate of the University has ever
taught in the rural schools of Smith
County. 1t looks 'top-heavy."
Some important legislation is pend
ing before the Legislature for the ben
eft of the schools but the prospects
are that it vii lhave hard sailing since
it's getting so late in the session.

Some Pedagogical Facts

l.. The real school depends upon the
ideal school
2. The teachers ideals depend upon
culture and comparison.
g.. Children cannot be properly
taught by one who does not live to
work
5. Children cannot be properly
taught by one who does not believe
in humanity.
6. A successful teacher is one who
is quick in speech and action.
z. A teacher cannot teach correctly
what he does not know thoroughly.
s. The mere ability to peddle text
book facts does not represent teach
ing.
9. A second grade certificate seldom
represents teaching knowledge.
10. Correct teaching leads a pupil
to love humanity, nature and books.

A Good School vs.. A Poor School

A good school depends on the native
ability and training of the children
belonging to it. The native ability
is a fixed quantity and is pretty well
the same all over the county
Training depends almost entirely
on the teachers. In some schools in
close proximity there is the greatest
difference between the intelligence of
the children. Almost always where
the children have had good active,
thinking teachers you will find them
able to read Understandings, to listen
attentively and to think intelligently.
Where teacher has the scholarship
and the industry sufficient to enable
him to lay his text book aside, stand
up before his class a real live Amer
lean, with nothing except his own
merits on which to lean, he will soon
awaken an interest in every child that
will surely give results.
A good resolution for all who enter
the teaching profession would be, 81
will not defraud my students by cheat
ing them out of their birthrights.
Every lesson that / assign I will en-
deavor to so prepare taht I will know
it well enough to teach it in a way
to create interest"
The most pitiful , sight under high
heaven is a dull teacher trying to
teach something he has not learned. I
see so much of this that sometimes
feel like telling them to quit.
Teachers will be rated before con-
tracts are again signed Just as far
as possible they will be employed on
basis of results that they have been
giving. Some are worth more than
others.

Teachers Meeting

The meeting will be held next Sat
urday the 26th All teachers are
urged to be present. Matters of i'm
portance will be discussed.
Meetings are much better attended
than formerly. This is encouraging.
Nothing shows the advance of the
teaching force better than the interest
manifested in their organizations.
All the teachers of the county have
joined the Teachers Organization.
Fees for this are now due and will
have to be paid by the 10th of April.
