(6y, R. ;W. ISLEY) ; ' Now is the time; for school com mittees' sometimes make grave mis tekes when they wait to engage' a teacher until late In the" summer.

"Sometimes it Is goodf for the community. It all depends. A change should not be made un less better teachers are secured., - It your teachers are not as you would have them te try to im prove" them by requiring them to do 'a certain amount of readlnr ed ucational magazines and books and papers and books for self improve ment. This reading is necessary or stagnation will be the result., Try to improve your teachers and they In- turn will improve your community.

Teachers should F,o to a community and drive their "tent pegs" deep. They should be there to stay and live and move and have their en tire interest (in the community. It often takes teachers one year to pet acquainted with pupils and the people in tjie community. You know, Mr. Committeeman. before an,y teacher can successfully teach and discipline pupils she must know their nature. Teachers are less apt to make mistakes in dis cipline and in teaching If they know the nature of the pupil' they are teaching. The successful teach er musfknow the nature of her pupils. The best teachers cannot be successful unless they know this nature. How can they know this nature? The1 alert teacher will know it. after being in tbe community lon$ enough. s "Teachers must know more na ture than child's nature. They must knoVthe nature of 'the people In the community and the nature of the homes from which their pupils come. , Teachers in order to get acquainted and learn tbe nature of the pupils and homes and commu nity, must visit the homes Iq the community. Teachers sometimes do II" ' visiting the first year, in other ins, they usually do more after j being in the community a few years, s This 'visitation will five the teacher an Insight to the various dispositions of tbe pupils. Such will make discipline easier an insure a better school. , Ths Is not ail. It is as Important and as necessary for the pupils to know the nature of the teacher as It Is for the teacher to know the nature of tbe pupils. Pupils who do not know their, teacher and are not acquainted with her are not likely to make marked progress The pupils may have a new teacher each year but, the school ' should should not. The community must, know the teacher as well as the teacher must know the community. This acquaintance on the part ,. of the teacher, pupil ' afd community pst-OillShes ' confidence..
