7 <>*> GOOD ADVICE TO TEACtttRS. , The following letter to the School Teachers of Abbeville County published in The Press and Banner, will be of especial interest just now to the teach- cas of this county: To the Teachers: As you are now entering upon you** year’s work a few suggestions to you might be oi some advantage to you, your schools, and the community. The two most important re quisites of a teacher are pre paration and common sense. Some of our teachers have the idea that if you call the ~f6Tl and “hear’’ the recitations you have done your duty. The teacher who holds such an idea is simply wasting money and should retire. The teacher to do good work one who gets permanent results, is the one who gives her time, talent, thought and energy to her school; you must not forget that you are the one to w’hom the community looks to take . the least in educational mat ters. It is you who w’ill be expected to plan improvements for your school, to arouse en thusiasm among your patrons and friends for better things in school matters. In preparation, don’t think that because you have a certi ficate or a diploma, that you • are a pedagog. Study! Study! and more study is necessary. Professional reading is needed. Two or three first class teach ers magazines should be found in every teachers library, be sides a carefully selected num ber of books by the best authors. In professional reading I find the following books in teresting and instructive. “Among Country' Schools,” Keen, “School Management” White, “Theory and Practice of Teaching”,Page, “Principles of Teaching” Thorndyke, “The Foundation of Educa tion” and “The History of Education” Seely, and “The Philosophy of Education’ Rosenkranz. Besides these books the following have been adopted by the State Board of Educa tion for the Teachers Reading Course for 1906: Seeley’s “New School Man agement” • ' $• 07 Bailey's “Nature Study •95 Cooke’s “With the Tourist Tide” 1 25 These books can be had from the Educational Pub. Co., Atlanta, Ga. 1 he teacher who takes the Reading Cqurse for three years will be granted a ten year State certificate by the State Board. Common Sense, This is the strong point of a good teacher. It is necessary in school room and out, certainly it is essential when making up course of study. Don’t think because a long list of books has been adopted that you must try to use all in one year or in one school. Unless the child is an ex ceptionally bright one he should not be required to have more than five recitations daily. In arranging the course don’t fail to lay great stress upon English, our own language. About 75 boys and girls have tried for scholarships during last two years in Abbeville County. Not more than about eight per cent, passed on En glish, the very thing they ought to be most proficient in. 'You are urged, specially urged to give more time to English and writing. It would surprise you to see some of the letters received from some of the teachers. They either through ignorance or carelessness, let us hope the former, omit to much attention to the How To •* Gain Flesh ^ \ Persons have been known to 3ain a pound a day by taipn^an ounce of Scott’s Emulsion. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking SCOTT’S EMULSION Send this advertisement together with name of paper fat which it appears, your address and four cents to cover postade. and we will send you a "Complete Handy Atlas of the World."' • SCOTT A BOWNE, 409 Pearl St. New York of the English training but it is a very’ important part It is a pitable s'ght to see a boy or girl on the way to school with an armful of books of about a dozen varities and branches. The little fellow trudging along and doubtless all the while wondering what it all means for the child even knows he is not equal to the task of mastering all those lessons. It is better far better, to have the child have a reasona ble number of studies and do good and thorough work than to only get a smattering knowl edge of all. Besides it dis courages the child and this is i the most serious part of all. Again so many teachers are trying to please some foolish parents by advancing pupils fast. I find some children in some schools who can’t read intelligently a paragraph nor pronounce ordinary words cor rectly in every day use, still these very children have laid aside the reader and spelling book and are in Latin and Geometry’, may be nearly through the last and can’t tell you clearly the difterenc be tween a circle and a triangle. These conditions exist, but of course not in your school, if you are reading this, but i.l the other teachers school. Lets stress the things m :>st needed in life and if there be time then take up the extra’s. Don’t forget that English is our mother tongue £nd that to speak and write it correctly is most important.
