If so, and they do not advance is not the paront dis appointed and the child discour aged? You w ill be blamed brother tenehor-aro you guilty? You hold a cortificate that certifies that you answered so many pr cents. on certain branchos required to bo taught in school. Would you em ploy a lawyer or a physician who had no books relatmng to his busi iess? How many books do you own, road and study relating to the seience and art of school manage ment? How many educational journals do you take? How many want fifty dollars per month who are only getting twenty-five? There has been, and thero will bo, plenty of places for bottor teachors in this county. If you expect those places you must proparo yourself tor them. Let us suggest that you become a good teacher by reading and studying your own calling. GOt all the books your spare change will allow, relating to the scionce and art of teaching. Road them study themn, and talk with your 101. low teacher, and get his ideas er the subjects you doubt. Subscribi for and road seome good educationa journal.
