It is a matter of fact that, tne teachers in ' most of our public schools. are not making the prog ress that they should. . They are tobx much content, with their present attainments. This should not bo- tho case. It should be the aim of every, teacher to bo prcrc-s, and he who 1: "'T prorccs. cl ::ilin-:that hi-h and sacred calling. If the teach er stagnates, is it any wonder that the pupils do the. same? If the teacher is a; drone, what may we expect of the students? If the teacher is not inspired, how can he be a well spring of inspira tion to those that are following in his 'footsteps? If the teacher has not fallen in love with truth, arid if he has not learned to love to study for the sake of the de velopment and power that comes as a result of 'study, how can he expect to teach the children to love trie truth and to love to study for the sake of 'the power it will give him ? Any teacher that has not learned these lessons, has rio business in, that high and exalted position where the " destiny of souls isat stake. , ,'j Teaching is a high and noble calling, and it is the duty of him who enters this noble profession to use every effort in his power to make himself worthy of his calling: The whole field of the pliilosophy of soul developirierit should be , searched that the teacher may find those truths that will guide him in his work. It is not enough to read Page's Theory and Practice of Teaching and White's Elements of Peda gogy. These works, good as they are, do not cover the whole ground. The teacher ' needs to pursue his. course of study deep erthan that. And we believe it is the duty of every teacher to do so. The parents should de mand it of tne teacher that teach es his children The Committee should demand it of the taacher that they employ to ' teach their schools. The County Superin- tendant should, demand it of the teachers that they examine. If the County Superintendant would demand the thorough mas tery of sbinev.book every year of the teachers who were examined by him then We would soon see the schools of our State getting on a higher level. If each teacb: er ' would master one work on the Theory and Practice of Teaching every year, or some work on the History and Philosophy of Edu- cation, it would not bex long till we would see the public schools becoming powers for good in our bud. Each teacher owes this mr.ch to his profession, crxh ono c i t'lifi much to tho children and to their parents, and each one owes this naueh to his Orvi v vc But some teacher will say i have not tiriio for. thin work," ! 'Besides " they say, ' TI; 3 schools do not pay a salary, sufficient for me i to buy, tho books. Each teacher can buy one book a ycar. This is all Ve ask, that you mas- er should5 do hismuch. for the sake o . tis1 byn self if for no higher motive. o Vo it that you may.' have a greater power to do good, if you dan, if not do it be cause you will be a stronger man.
