We have I’ railroad lawyers who examine wills. and osvPr-h-rafiCo "f thr profession has its specialist. None of these are more important than the selection of persons to train the mind. “1 wish,” said the speaker, "to plead with you who employ teachers to be more careful in selection of teachers for your schools. The opinion seems to be prevalent tfiat a normal man or woman will not teach. Their idea is somewhat like that of the old woman who, when asked how’ many children she had. replied. ‘Three, one livin?, one dead and one teach ing school.' My honest opinion is that 60 per cent of the money spent in this State for teachers had just as well be thrown to the birds. There should be such a safeguard thrown around the standard of teachers as that these positions should be filled with competent men and women. The trouble is that so many people teach as a stepping-stone to some thing else. The State should pas ( upon the fitness of the teachers, re- . lieving the county board of this responsibility.” He believed the i State should create an educational 1 commission to revise the school law • of the State and to provide for the | examination of teachers at the State Capital or by a State board. The average trustee in the rural districts is not capable of selecting teachers, fo the reason that they are men of business and do not know anything of the requirements of teachers. “The best work of the country is being done in the country schools. There the environment is better than in the city, and teachers do better work in the country school. JVhat we need is knowledge in ‘the school roorn.

Nance Daniel was next introduced and delivered an address on the improvement of the rural schools. She began by com plimenting the county on her ad- diton and improvement to the Court House, and the town on the recent issue of $20,009 bonds to erect a magnificent school house. She said: “We are here to-day because we want to learn something that will enable us to do more for our schools. 1 feel thankful that God has blessed me with the opportunity to do some thing for our country boys and girls, and the country school teacher has thatiwork to do as was so well set forth in that magnificent soul stirring address ^delivered by Mr Garris. He is the best type of the country school teacher, one who can inspire confidence in the boys and gprls of the country. We must have Letter salaries for the teachers of the country. Under the Garris Act, if a community raises one dollar the State will give two dollars up to fifty dollars, therefore a school raising this amount will have one hundred and fifty dollars to lengthen the term. Let us vote a local tax, put good teachers in the schools, and then put the children in the schools to do this it will be necessary to have a compulsory Education law. There are over 54,000 while people in the State, who cannot read their names and over 15,000 voters who cannot read the ballot they cast. Over 26,000 white children are not in the schools, it is therefore the duty of our lawmakers to make it possible for the children to enter school. Then we must have better teachers in our schools and better schools for our teachers.
