Our schools will soon be in pro* grese. Trustees use care in the selection of teachers. Not according to political affiliations; not on account of their church relations, but according to their teaching ability and moral standing^ Let these points guard you in the selection of your teachers. For “as Is the teacher so is the school”

wear lull ill uiiuu, auu reiuiq iuo vcot of their profession. Endeavor to get teachers who teach school for the good they mav do the pupil. Not altogether because he has been to college; neither because he is the upper ten of the community. But because he can successfully teach the young idea with zeal and interest. What we want, is teachers who put life in their work and realize the benefit he may do the children in the way of making of them good citizens of our country. What this age demands, is practical men and women. The teacher should so direct his teaching in order to accomplish this end. Your teaching cannot be valued by dollars and cents. Remember you are dealing" with mind not material, fellow teacher, and we should be very cautious as to the instruction we give, also the manner in which we impart knowledge to the juveniles under our care and direction. “Train the child ip the way he should go, and when he is older, he will not depart theretrom.” If he possesses a sound mind and a true heart. It is the duty of the patrons of the school to make frequent visits thereto. Have conversations with the teacher in regard to the work of the school. Do not think that you are not needed at the school room. Your children and teacher welcome you, the same as your horses and pigs, do about feeding time, and need your presence more. It will encourage the school, when they see that “pa" and "ma” are interested in the education tor which they seek. Now, pupils, a word to you. Begiu this term of school with courage. Make a bold resolve to advance. Remember, your success depends upon yourself. Our life is what we make it. Be regular iu your attendance, prompt throughout your school work. Remember your teacher is ready and willing to help you. That is what he is for, see that you use him. Be courteous ard kind to your teacher and your schoolmates. In your youthful days is the time to form good habits. Learn to be polite. Politeness costs nothing, and is of intrinsic worth and pleasure, both in school and out of school. Observe the regulations of your school. Cultivate self-government. Always be at your post of duty, and you will find no time to worry your teacher with idleness. We hope a grand improvement will be made in every department of school work during the ensuing term. In order to accomplish this end, all must pull together. “Uuited we stand, divided we fall.”
