TEACHERS" ARE NOT I APPRECIATED, SAYS ONE OF PROFESSION

" Lee J. Drlrer. of Centerville, has submitted the following letter on the torching situation: I think the greatest renscr. -why more of the talented young men and ; young Avomcn do not enter and re- ' main in the teaching profession is . the meagre salary receiTed, but there are several other reasons, some of which . I shall enumerate. They are all related to the salary question, and should receive consideration as well s the financial reward. But first, a few suggestions about tho financial , sida. t College professors and public school teachers should receive sufficient salary to live in at least as good condi tion as shop men, carpenters, plumbers and dairy-wagon drivers. I know ,men who work in the shops that own their own homes; their homes are well furnished, they have a piano, a victrola, an automobile; the family is well dressed, the children take music lessons, and there Is money left for the movies. I know many school teachers of which the above is not true, I myself, being one. A high school teacher should receive much more per month than a man who guards a railroad crossing or a hammer and saw carpenter. I think a great reason for the shortage of teachers is tho lack of appreciation on the part of the pupils and the patrons of the school. I say sometimes that It would be a good thing to closa all the schools until students and tho public make up their minds to change their atltude toward the school. To be sure, peoplo want a school, but what kind of a school do they help make. Value of Praise. The teacher in the school find ths parent, in the home know the value of praise. Pupils love to be complimented by the teacher, and tho parent is elated if the teacher says complimentary things about the child. How mrny pupils and parents compliment the teacher? Yet the teacher, is human like the pupil and patron. Many patrons make no effort to get ccquainted with the teacher. I have known cases even in the rural school where ihe father did not know the nn.me of the teacher of his boy. Parents should get acquainted with Ihe teacher, and then not be so cold-and distant. We must teach the child and the parent to appreciate the school and the teacher. JLet the teacher know that Bhe is appreciated. Compliment tho teacher and see her grow. There are too many heart-aches an' too many nerve-wrecking experiences in school teaching. Most of these would be avoided if the public would take the right attitude toward the pchool. School teaching would be a pleasure to most teachers if pupils would Just be good, and make an honest effort to get their lessons. Why do they not do these two things since the school exists for them? Here is where the home can come to the rescue. Teachers should not get their pay for discipline, but or teaching. Give the opportunity to teach and you will see the school increase greatly in efficiency. The public does not distinguish between good teaching and bad teaching. Oftentimes a good, conscientious hard-working teacher is not appreciated as a happy-go-lucky, non-working teacher. If the teacher gets along well with the pupils and sends a highmark grade card home the average parent is satisfied. The child may be learning very little. When the good teacher sees that the poor, teacher "gets by" and receives promotions then the good teacher says, "What's the use," and gets disgusted ana leaves the profession. Not Enough Democracy. There is not enough democracy in the management of our schools. Democracy is an easy thing to talk about, but it seems to be a difficult thing to practice. Sometimes a superintendent, a principal, a school board, or a trustee is as monarchical as the Ex-Kaiser of Germany. Teachers are dismissed without sufficient cause. sometimes without any reason being given. The officer says go. and the teacher goes. The school official hears the complaint of a few chronic kickers, and then dismisses the teach er without knowing the sentiment of the other interested people. It Is a case of an oligarchical government instead of a democratic government. I worked under one such principal, who is now a superintendent. He has lost several of his best teachers and many of the remaining ones are disgusted with his absolutism. Three have quit nrrffssinn largely due to his nnmlncerinz methods. Autocrats, pea nut politicians, and narrow minded school officials drive teachers from nrnfpssion. The uncertainly of the tenure of nffirp is a creat handicap in keeping the ranks of teachers filled. A teacher rover knows when it shall . be said pnto him. "Arise, take up thy bed pnd walk." The people elect a trus tee for four years, and a member of a school board is elected for three years. i.r.i.nr. ia firtp(1 for from six to iilnp months. Why not elect teachers for twelve months lu the year and for r. iprm of years? "Foxes have holes, birds of the air hnve nests." but the school teacher knows not where to lay his head.

Indiana can never make the pro gress she ought to make until soum fundamental laws are changed. We must get some scheme by which our school can be put into the hands of school men. Most of our trustees and school boards are honest, successful business men, but they do not know schools. Many of them put great handicaps on superintendents and teachers because they do not and can not understand the situation. They want to meddle too much with the inside workings of the school, and do not give the superintendent, principal, and teacher freedom and power enough to work out any definite piece of work. Put the schools into the hands of prepared school men and women, and you will see. the schools grow. We should make teaching so attrac tive that, school officials could make a choice instead of taking whomever they can get, as is sdmetimes the case now. The profession should attract more of the best so that superintend ents would not have to grade manuscripts so liberally to get teachers. County superintendents tell us that ai least thirty-three and a third per cent of the teachers could easily be failed, and that they would be if teachers were plentiful. Let us lift the standard of- the teaching profession. But to do this, several other things must be done first. 1. Teachers must receive a just compensation: 2. Money must be furnished with which to equip properly the schools for efficient work; 3. A higher estimate must be attained on the part of the pupils and citizens of the opportunities offered; 4. A much greater appreciation of the teacher must be shown by the pupils and the public; 5. We must get a better crop of boys and girls. Boys and girls must be trained in the home and in the school to be good. They must be trained to obey, to respect law and order, and to have a proper regard for the rights of others. With the right kind of support from the homes, the schools can help do this; C. Democracy must be applied to the management of our schools; 7. School boards and trustees must give the superintendents, principals and teachers more lee-way In planning for the school and in executing the plans; 8. Schools must he put into the hands of trained school people. 9. Citizens, pupils, and teachers must work together for the betterment of the school and for the uplift of the entire community. I j. J.

Nature's Working Soil for Your Garden; Help Her Winter snows and hard freezing weather, in Wayne county and many other parts of the United States this winter, are the best agencies for getting garden soils in condition, according to United States Department of Agriculture specialists. Soil Ls nothing more nor less than finely divided rock, with decayed vegetable matter mixed with it. Every time the water freezes in the crevice of a rock it makes the opening a litlln wider until finally the ro-k is split into fragments; mort; water gets intof the openings in these fragments and freezes, and so the work of reduction goes on forever. Every time the ground freezes new soil is formed, but this new soil is in need of manure or decaying vegetable matter before it will hold water in minute quantities, and be in condition to produce crops. Every time the soil is stirred in cultivating, the particles are ground together, and they rub or break off still finer particles. If the soil is too wet when it is worked, the particles will becoma cemented together and there, will be clods or lumpy soil. The little hairlike roots of plants develop in the spaces between the particles of soil. Here is where they get their water and along with it food materials that are essential to the growth of the plant. JOYCE ON FARM BOARD (Fy Associated Press) WASHINGTON. March 12. Wil liam N.

Farm Federation

Officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations are hiehly pleased with the platform and decla ration of principles as set forth by the American Farm Bureau federation, at the recent national convention held at Chicago. Although somewhat disappointed at not getting the national headquarters for Indianapolis, officers and directors of the Indiana farmers expect to do all in their power to promote the general interests of the national organization. The Hoosier state had a fine repre sentation at the national convention, and all those who attended are of the opinion that they have an ideal leader in J. R. Howard, of Iowa, president. Tho platform of the national organi zation dovetails into the principles for which the federation in this state has been working. It follows in part: We, the representatives of 1,066,000 members of the farm bureaus of 28 states of the union, hereby renew our unwavering faith in and pledge our full support to the constitution of the United States. Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people as a whole, and we condemn all of those classes and groups, whether of rad icals or reactlonarien, who have be wildered, distressed pnd agitated the country by un-American and ill-tem pered agitation, and actions for purely selfish ends without regard to the rights and welfare of the general public.

The Aftermath of Flu

This is No. 1 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia , Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's VapoRub may be of value in this condition.

Your doctor will impress upon ! you that following recovery from the active stage of nfiuenza, there often remains an inflamed, congested condition of the air passages throat, larynx, bronchial tubes and lungs. Frequently the cough hangs on soreness of the chest persists you take cold easily and there may be obstinate catarrh." This condition is slow to clear up and if neglected may favor the development of pneumonia, or later on, serious disease of the lungs.
