water for bathing, swimming,
lawns, gardens or animals for
3 days. Do not use the arSen-
ic treatment in any waters in
tended for use in rice culture.
Carefully observe all state
laws on application of arse

Teachers are mighty busy
people! There are so many
"chores" to be done each day,
aside from the big job of teach
ing.
Many have suggested that the
teacher is busy enough without
these chores. They reason that
the teacher could do a better
Job Of teaching If the nom
teaching jobs were handed over
to an assistant. This, they
argue, would help relieve the
teacher shortage and save tax
money, too.
This is such an obviously good
idea that you might wonder
why it isn't tried more often.
1t Takes Time
It takes time-quite a lot of
ito take roll, check excuses,
regulate light and temperature,
do the innumerable Eookkeep-
ing chores, keep track of lunches
and lunch money and dozens of
other such "non-profeSSional
tasks.
No class is so evenly grouped
that all children are able to
start at the same place or pro-
ceed at the same speed. If the
teacher is to allow for these diff
ferences a great deal of time
will have to go into the plan
ming of lessons. If a dozen stu
dents simultaneously run into q
dozen different educational
"bramble patches" it takes time
to get them untangled and on
their way.
This is a lot Of business to
squeeze into the school day
which usually has between 22C
and 300 classroom minutes. It
would be too much, except that
teachers are trained to do II
and are used to doing it.
Surprisingly, most schools
that have tried to use lay as
Sistants have found consider
able resistance from the teach
erS.
Experienced teachers in av-
erage-sized classrooms have
been trained to organize their
work in such a way that they
can accomplish it alone. Most
of them take advantage Of the
ever-willing assistance of the
children. and this is good
Children learn many things in
the process.
Work Load Increased
Generally, teachers are SO
familiar with the routines that
they almost need re-training
before they can make the best
use of lay assistants. In many
cases they feel responsible. for
keeping the lay assistant busy
and, for some. this increases
rather than decreases the work

Lay Assistant Plan
Has Its Problems

assistants from actually teach
ing.
There is another problem,
Teachers are human and they
often have mixed feelings about
the lay assistant. The teacher
knows that only so much of the
budget can go to classroom SAL
aries. She may not be particu-
larly anxious to share this
money.
This certainly doesn't rule
out the potential value of
teaching assistants. Some
schools that have tried it are
convinced that the most profit
able use of the lay assistant
requires a differen kind of
school organization than is now
common.
AS new developments such
as team-teaching come into use
they will bring many changes
in school organization. A group
of teachers working as a team
can make better use of the
services of an assistant.
