VETERAN TEACHER
 STAYS UfT0.DATE
Modern Methods Better Than:
 Old, Miss Sheldon Says

Modern educational methods are far superior to those of the "old days" in. the opinion of Miss Ma rion Sheldon of 2l6 Bassett street who in her 70 years as teacher in the elementary schools of this city has had an opportunity of seeing both the old and new style.
 It is Miss Sheldon's belief that education has progressed as rapidly at other professions such as law and medicine. The old saying: They don't teach 'em as we'll as in the old days' is wrong. Miss Sheldon finds. as she looks back over the three decades she has given to her profession.
 In the first place people who claim the only way to make some thing of pupil is to retain the method of teaching the three "R's," reading. writing and arithmetic. ara looking on life from 8 narrow view point, she says. A person with only these educational advantages would not survive the competition of modern times, Miss Sheldon believes.
 Pupils are taught to look upon life from a broader point of view. Methods have improved, teachers can concentrate and therefore are in a better way to gain results.
 Miss Sheldon was graduated in ho Iid c,hC<itnta u,nrly ', \ was appointed to teach an elemen- tary class in the old wooden high school building which stood where the Central Junior High school main building is now located on Main street. She taught in many of the older schools in the city. but for the past 2S years she has been a teach- CT at the Northend school.
 When she first began her teach ing career there were few of the present school buildings in exist ence. The Northend school, which was named after Charles Northend. the first superintendent of schools. the old Lincoln school which is now for sale. the Smith school. the old Burritt school which was abandon ed and then used again, and few other buildings comprised the school system of the city.
 The old Monroe school building which was recently abandoned. was constructed shortly after Miss Shel- don's entry into her profession. Few of the teachers who were teaching. or who began teaching at that time are now. in service. The enrolment, of the schools has increased many. times over and a number of new school buildings have been con- structed. especially for the elemen- tary grades.
