EDUCATIONAL :vG AND RELIGIOUS Edited by Rev. W. R. Coppedge, A. M., County Superinten dent of Schools . , THE BLUE LAWS OF LONG AGO Are We Drifting: Back to the -A Women vs Men as Teachers A few years ago, it is sa: d.only one-fourth of the -, schools were r- t . i -; " "vr taugnc Dy women, juw uiuy uue f ourth are taught by men. A generation a0 it would have been thought of as out 'of-the question to put a woman at the head of a college as president, but some of them are making efficient executives. And-some of the western states have wo men as superintendents of pub lic instruction and the experi ment has proved by no means a failure. This new prominence given to women as educators has led to the expression 'the femi nization of the schools,?.' and it is claimed by some that the result has been detrimental to the in terests of education.. : While not prepared to approve of women as public officers, we do not believe that the prominent position given to women in the schools i has made the "Work of the teachers any less valuable. On the other hand, we believe that in the ma- onty oi cases women win maKe better teachers than men. If discipline were the most impor tant duty a teacher was required to perform, arid if discipline were "best i maintained by brute force, women would be compe tent usually vto handle no schools where big boys were in attend ance. Discipline is important so much so that no school can be successfully conducted without it, but it is far from being all that is required. A school might be under the most rigid discip line and yet be a failure even worse than a failure. , On the other hand, the discipline might be extremely lax and yet good work be done, though this would not be .likely. Disciphne, how ever, is often most successfully maintained without resort to force, and this is best when it is er faculty for governing by mor . al suasion than the sterner sex. Besides, apart from the matter of government women usually have the faculty of imparting knowledge and of stimulating in terest m education to a greater extent than men. For the" pub- lir RVinrkla foirinlo pjpViit nw tk WUVVAI VIAWA-AW ordinarily preferable. If they cannot manage the big bad boy, it is eitheibecause the teachers do not know their business, or because the .boy is incorrigible xi. sweet tempered; woman is . .. i - . i . more HKeiy to reclaim mm ny tactful kindness than a muscular man by means of a hickory. For the work of the public schools women are generally superior to men in initiative; quickness, in: vention ana patiences We should like for some of the neighbor- nooas that think obstreperous boys can be whipped info an 'ed ucation' with' a big stick to try' the experiment of selecting a . competent woman -?.at a salary , that will coinjriand the services of one that knows her business. If the salary fixed by the board 'secure the; services' of such a : teacher, there is a way by which . . the additional funds can be se- . eurea, ai; least in ir ost ot the dis tricts, and the money" will be well invested. 1 - : : V':."V:'' ' :,:y.A'V&l3te The only , male teacher :in the Rockingham graded school ext A -f Continued on" Page 8. u -J I Old Times? -Will His- " tory Repeat Itself? ,:" The' following were s'ome of the laws" our ancestors had to live un der.
