I OUR SCHOOLS. PAPER NO. 4. BT PROP. WILLIAM B. HAND. mmm Change of Teachom—The frequent change of teachers is a constant brake and clog oh the progress of U19 school. It robs them of anything ' lik<§ an unbroken course of work and fixedness tot policy. Every new teacher Introduces some-new- feature Into the work of the school—per haps a good feature In Itself, yet no ^.bfUer thap what, ll; displaces. It requires readjustment to,.install any thing new, and the time and fric tion 'ate a loss, unless the change is decidedly for better. Generali”- speaking our best schools are those which have the fewest changes In the teachers. It requ^es at least one full session for a teacher to become acquainted with his patrons By becoming acquainted with patron I mean far more man mere social knowledge of them. I mean an ap preciation of their tastes and the!.- fdeals and their ambitions, and a, knowledge of their peculiarities, • if you please. Until he understands these he is-not in a position to serve them and to lead v-em, and a teacher who can not lead is of but llttl > f#»cd. Not until after a teacher has taught from four to six years. In a community Is he prepared to glv*- It his best services. Yet how few teachers remain in one school three years. Some places cuange teachers every year simply because they have ac quired the habit of doing so. Like "y other bad habit, this one grows t on people. The trustees and the a irons frequently reallxe that the*r '•bool Is far Inferior to some outer ••ah ol, and rush to the conclusion s that they need a change of teachers. hen the truth Is mat t.iey -avo already injured their sehoo^ by t >o many changes. Have any of my readers ever se^t a pupil, at the be- — ginning of each of three successive seasons—each time by a n^w teach er?

A great many rural school rely have the same teachers tw > years in succession. Many of thor.o . changes.

They know all about schools, and their own children are paragons of perfection If any teacher finds one of these children anything but a paragon straightway there Is trouble. To listen to these disgrunfled fathe i and mothers with th«lr tales of wo. requires patience * and " grace. In their eyes there is but one remedy- change teachers. Not two month; ago I heard a man not far from sixty years of age declare that he Intended to "break up" the only school in hif district, unless the trustees dismissed the present teacher. It had nevei occurred to him that perhaps th* trustees were in the right. Suet a man is in a small way an anac' chist. ^ ' In some Instances faultfinders ami dissatisfaction are unwittingly on couraged by the board of trustees The board, either ignorant of t»: function or disposed to dodge an unpleasant duty, asks the patron to elect the teacher. Such a cours is ah Invitation to division and th< disappointment consequent to defeat and will inevitably bring about dis- pected re-election? Is the boar*! playing a game in diplomacy? l)o“- It Intend to see if it can secure lief ter teachers, but If not, to re-elect the Incumbents? Such game would be dishonorable. If a school Imard wishes to change teachers for sny legitimate reason, it has a perfect legal and moral right to do so. But the change should be made in i manly stralgTiiforward manner. f,< > the board frankly tell the teachi i not to ask for re-election, declare r -vacancy, then advertise for applies lions-—if Thai Is the best way t< secure teachers.

The immediate reason for asking hm to he here was the disagreement between the local cot ton buyers and farmers in regar-i to the deduction for tare on cotton, the buyers having, sine* the 1st of October, been operating under a rule which makes deduction of 50 cents for each bale of cotton having more than seven yards of bagging on the bale. , Senator-elect Smith discussed the cotton situation in a broad way, ad vocating a "manirrroth convention" for the purpose of demanding higher prices and holding the cotton from the market, advocated the storing in warehouses, referred to work that has -been done along this line iu Florence and Columbia. He stated that Liverpool makes a deduction foi tare of 6 per cent on the gross, or 3 0 pounds taro for each 500-pouml bale of cotton and that in fixing the price this 30-pound tare is consld ered, as well as every other item of expense in connection. He then stated that if the Southern farmer did ,not get the benefit of the 30-pound tare and put 30 pounds tare ort each bale it would lie th* fault of the Southern farmer ami he should not blame anv one els*- ternoon, waiting for a train to Augusta, was a negro woman who was on her way to some point In South Carolina, says the Macon, Oa., Telegraph.
