The Society Teacher. The problem, of what should be the character qualifications and skill of the teacher, is an important one. and one which there can be no barm in discussing, however perfect we mar este»m ourselves, or selfsari-fied we may be with our ♦ flirts. No teacher ever amounted to anvtbir g but a base tim* and money server, who did not tee! " his dutv to the community to do the tw-s’ good be could p »s«ibly do. I> stand* to reason that an intelligent teacher o< »n it q tiring turn of mind, plus normal, universi'y. or anv special training should n* amply sb'e to see that p'aying a gam* of cards at a time when he ought to be pouring out h's mind wha' little he has. in improving his methods of teaching, so a* to bet'er instill into the minds of the xouths the true end and sim of education. The verv idea of a teacher, who professes to be prin--1 eipal of any of the grand schools of our land, being caught in places of an immoral nature, is enough to set the intelligent m'ud of anv moral being to action asking and answering q ies'mns concerning his future prospects in hfe A teacher must not onlv be able to give instruction, hut he must be an example to his school. The actions and words of no other person in the country, ex cepting possibly the preacher, are so care u 1* noted and so cl"Sely ciiticiz-d by the public and pupi’s as are the teacher s If a teacher d<<esnot alwaxs speak the truth, the whole community knows it If be keeps late hours in improperly conducted houses, if caught in immoral -ocietv.or if gambling, whether in public or private, be will be fourd outsooneror later, and it will be the genera! talk of tbe neighborhonod. He will be looked upon bv the just with avxrr. H is not wanted in the communitx; away with him. but H»! the oand the heathen is rai-ed against vou The saying ‘ Birds of a feath*r flock together" is fully explained. So do the standard bearers of iniquity gather around their captain, and bid defiance to the array nf truth.justice and right Teachers who steal part ot the time they bare sold to th* school dis trict. and devotes it to his own private . interests and sensual pleasurrs. will be criticized beyond reason, while if be is at home i reparing for better work, he is higblv and j istiv praised If the veil could be lifted from the b*art. h< w many imposters and scape goat could t e comp acently s*en inj istly and ignorantly pulling at the county or town*h ; p teat.

Oh yes P irons whoespecia ly fitthemselvesfor , teachers positions, by attending strictly to their own business and endeavoring j to uplift themselves by continuallv app'ying themselves to work are shamefully pushed aside to make room for •ome imported vagabond stock who can neither find favor nor employment at home. I wish I could speak in trumpet tones tn everv such teacher, to m»ke ' these all sufficient ones stop to ennsid- r that in their hand* they hold the solemn destiny of an immortal spirit, that they fwho by examp’e and precept arepojiut ing the soul of the childl would seem freighted with such erroneous meaning that tbe heedless wou d s'op to reflect With all our wisdom we may never )*arn what is tbe beat for ttio«e entrus'-
