How can the parents help the teacher to fulfill his important mis _0m_l - .ni n mid?sympathetic interest in the teacher's work. Kxpression of considerate kindness on the part of the parents for the teach- j cr would help very much. J>ut the J one great help that the parents have j it in their power to render is in j holding up the authority of the! teacher. Obedience the teacher i . . must have, and it is the one thing j that cannot be had effectually with- : out the cooperation of the parents, i It is not always easy for a fond parent to turn a deaf car to the "tale ! of woo" brought home from school! by the child. It may be sometimes! the case that the teacher is acting upon mistaken judgment. Hut the 1.1 Za... i* il i 1 .i auuiorny 01 me leacner must be maintained, and tin* parents are able to help greatly in that direction. Tin-: Tim us wishes each teacher a happy and restful vacation. It is certain you deserve it and have earned it. Your work has been hard. It has often been carried on und'T great discouragements. Often you have received but scant sympathy from the patron. All too often you have failed to receive a kind word and expression of good will and of a desire to co-operate with you. Hut you have done well. That should cheer your hearts and bring you the right to en joy a period of rest. No doubt you have often been misunderstood and, in consequence, harshly judged. We all are. No doubt you often feel disheartend We all do. Hut you kept on with your work and you have done well ?how well you may never know till you stand before the great throne of the Highest, on/1 o/m 1".

I REPLY TO INQUIRER. \Y" wish to say a word in reply o that part of tin* article hy ''Inluiivr" concerning the price <>l voter to the mills. The price t? n lividunls is thirty cents per thousuul gallons, the price to the mill nueh less. Now liuiuirer" oh i^-'s this. In reply we \vou!< say that since the mills use million o' galloi.s while an individual u-e pioha' ly a thousand, and since thj water hill for 11 ie mills is one him dred dollars while the individttar hill is prohahly thirty cents, t'a price to the mills should he less, i is a law of trade that articles hy >h wholesale are cheaper than hy n tail. Another point. The Monavc Mills laid their own pip* at a coot' squint. Further, these nulls a low the city to tap their pipe. 1 not * Conors.*1 ions uoSitw oni sideration from tit** watercompany The mills of 1'ition would insta their own water plants if they w. charged anything like the price 1 individuals; thereby depriving t! city of this soilivi of revenue; at the eity cannot well alTord the los The large patronage and revenue r ceived from the mills deserve coi sideration. The Monarch Mills have - new run a company store for their pe< pie, although solicited on all sidi to do so. They have turned th trade to the town. In eritieisii public matters, as well as otlv matters, we should be fair and loc at both sides. However, "Inquirer is entitled to his views, but wil this information, we think the co porations should fare better at h hand. One of the chief reasons th school teaching is so often made "stepping-stone*' to some oth profession is the fact that the scho teacher is so poorly paid. The seems to be an idea in many mim that the work of teaching is sum thing that just any one can d< that it is really not work at all, b a kiml of play; and if work it then it is very light work and ve easy. It is not strange tli there should he poorly pa teachers when the public has su conceptions of the work done is fomenting very different fro what many think it to be, shou turn away from tin? lifeof the teacl or to something else. Men ai women who have spent years: preparation for the life of teachii tind themselves facing a salary thirty-live to forty dollars a montl and that too for hut nine months' tin1 year. And in most eases the is little prospect for much inerca in salary. The ranks of the scho icacocrs art: constantly receiving V cruits fresh from col It'go. If tl capable ami tried teacher will n teach for the meagre salary the are new arrivals quite willing take their places ami there a trustees quite willing to sanction tl change, latter pay for teaehe would help to put an end to tl idea that teaching school is to 1 made a means to some other pr< fession. mww wtm\. rr I ???????????? jC %j!> /& ?> vP iKEEP 0 A We do not mean this ac x and ladies, but we meat x and grumblers sweet. ft ?s for Pure Log Cabin S 0 Muscovado Mob Caro Corn Syrup, 0 re boiled, Pure Cie 0 New Orleans, fou 0 . . ft In laci everything in the ft offering a special drive i ft kegs of New Orleans M ft gailon kegs New Orlea ft and good value, but wc same over.

It is ai 8 dangerous thing for one to set limits j and standards. It may be far from 1 the mark for a definite sum to be I named. Hut the writer is willing; to risk the danger, and dares to! make the suggestion Sixty dollars per month, instead of thirty-five, | ' would be more in accord with just-1 " ice. Kven at sixty dollars there is ' " only tIf salary of five hundred and I '' forty dollars per year, for the teach- ; " or works in the school room only j - nine months. In many schools the i ' t nn is even shorter. What chance j 1 is there for the average teacher to- j 0 day to take a trip during the sum* mer months? Vet every one will ad-j init that it would he the very thing! b to broaden the mind and furnish the i 1 means for greater usefulness in the class room. Then too, tin* teacher ' ' on a small salary has no money to l" invest in hook". Many of then , struggle along for years before they b are able to own a first-class cncyclo lv pedia. We compel the teacher to. wear good clothes, move in polite: society ami he generous enough to, .. subscribe to all public benefactions, e- ami yet we pay them no more than 1 i- we pay the day lal>orei\ The day ; laborer often receives as much as a ! 1 dollar per day. Many school teach-{ ,s ers receive no more. Certainly that \ is is about the situation. The day la-; ig borer who receives twenty-six dol- \ lj5 lars for a month's work, and is al-! \) lowed to work twelve months re- j t]j eeives three hundred and twelve! r- dollars. The average school teach-! lis cr, upon a salary of thirty-five dollars for nine monthss receive hut, at three hundred and fifteen dollars! a for the year's work. Years id preper aration and one or two thousand ol j dollars have gone to Jit the teacher j re for the responsible place he is to oc-, ils cupy. It is manifestly our duty to, e- pay our teachers more money. j; lit It is to be hoped that Senator by-; is, on and the other members of the j ry investigating committee will not be iat deterred in their work by any j id threats that may he made against j ch them.
