iTHli MIGHT MAN IN THE MIGHT
PLACE-NEEDS OF OUR t
J SCHOOLS. ;
poo# ####
In my previous paper as an important
point in fitness I noted i
that our law-makers must have a
complete understanding of the needs
of our schools. I attempt here to
call to notice only a few helpful
changes which should l?e brought to
our schools quickly.
One most essential remedy to 1**
applied to the schools is the placing
of a limit on the maximum work attenuated
bv the teacher. In this day
m of poorly equipped teachers, and
trustees and patrons who lack discriminative
judgment in this matter,
the law should limit the miniU-r of
grades allowed t ?the teacher. Any
teacher with as many as twelve pupils
should not l>e allowed to teach
more than three grades. How, think
you, must be the work done hv a
teacher hardly able to command a
second grade certificate who is trying
to teach six grades, while our U-st
quipped schools have a teacher for
-* each grade? Try this arithmetic
problem ? one teacher who has
twelve pupils finds that there are
four In ginners, five in the second
year's work. Now, each of the U ginhcrs
must have HO minutes each
day, or a total of 120 minutes; the
second year pupils must have four
periods of 2 ) minutes each, a total
of 100 minutes: the third year pupils
must have five perhnls of 21
minutes each, a total of 125 minutes;
now 20 minutes for singing
iituitnmr iiVoroiciW "\ ?nin_
m.u ...... .
utes for recesses: a total of all tliese
givts us420 minutes;or sewn hours'
work ? from 9:00 o'clock until 4:00
o'clock?an excellent day's work in
the school-riHun with every moment
of time well occupied. It is indeed
difficult work to accomplish permanent
lesults when the day is thus
divided into IS |>eriods?and yet
many teachers are forced to divide a
day into Ho or 40 periods. The difference
U'tween success and fai lire
in the work is this difference in arrangement.
The ability of the teacher
concentrated into six or eight l>eLf.
riods of 4"? minutes each means suc
' cess?while a small amount of ability
scattered over or 40 periods'of
10 minutes each results in failure
and the teacher gets the anathemas
of her patrons Itecause their children
learned nothing during the term.
Limiting the work to three gnules
maximum .would do much toward
making our one-teacher school of
none permanent value in our educational
system. Such a limit would
? mean consolidation of the many
schools into schools with two and
three teachers, As soon as this Lb
secured then the limit should U* reduced
to two grades to the teacher.
Our present number of high schools
is sufficient in mostseetions. Hewto
get the twelve or more one-teach er
schools around each liigh school
consolidated into schools with two
and three teachers teaching through
the seventh grade: let these l?e feeders
to the high school and then our
school system will l>e in a satisfactory
condition under which rapid
strides will U* made in educating
the people. Hut very little has l>een
acixunplished by the one teacher required
to teaeh all the grades even
u.?to the ninth, as mie told me recently.
And practically there never
will !>e anvthing accomplished in
that way. We cannot Maine the
present spirit of carelessness toward
the school upon the poor illiterate?
he sees no results of the schools and
considers his money and his child's
time wasp-d in such an institution,
and his estimate is correct.
There is another need of much
importance. How shall we secure
the attendance of every child in the
district? Did it ever seem consiste?it
to you to require a man to keep
his hogs ami other stock shut up
while his children are allowed to
run wild? Hogs will destroy potatoes
and corn and therefore we tine
^ a man who permits his hogs to run
at large. While the Ikivs liecome
wild animals given to stealing various
things, often developing into
murderers, paupers, lunatics and
idiots?a class of law breakers degenerating
into worthless animals
unworthy the name of man. What
a government! Fines a man who
lets hi-i bogs destroy bis neighbors
corn and potatoes, and yet lets the |
man go "scot free" whose children
steal, burn property and murder his
fellow man, ending their own existence
hv self destruction! We verily
need a human stock law. The man
who permits his children to run at
large during the school term should
! 1h* made, law-breaker and he should
l>e fined heavily?at least $2.r>.00 a
head. How long shall this need go
unfilled? How long will our citi*
1 M 1 .i V* .
j zens destroy our cnnaren: no, nr
would not have compulsory education
if you object? hut we would put
the human stock-raiser on a level
j at least with the grower of hogs.
| We don't believe in discri mi tuition
I in favor of the hogs.
We nei-d teachers who love ^
try life. Teachers who will instil
love for the country into the souls
j of country U?ys and girls. Teachers
who realize that the country provinces
the cream of humanity; the
great men of all ages. The teacher
who will lead her pupils out into
'broad paths of life, and teach these
(to bring the life-abundant into their
i homes. Teachers who believe that
(iod has intrusted the greatest and
highest of all duties unto her into
whose keeping she has intrusted a
country school.
And we need patrons who s?*e
greater things for their children.
( Patrons who are determined to place j
g re a t e r opportunities into their |
keeping. Potrons who will require
' 1 letter equipped teacher s, longer
terms for the schools, a less amount
!
i but U-tter work from the teachers, a
human stock law, the consolidation
of the small schools, a teacher who
teaches the principles Christ taught ;
land patrons who will make no^ible
;all these by insisting thai representatives
in the (ieneral Assembly
shall secure mure liiniiey f? ?r the development
of our schools.
And finally our schools need m /i
and Legislators. Men who believe
in our sehools; men who will make
the next Assembly an educational
{campaign; men who will supply our
jineds; men who will place schools
! first, and whose motto shall Ik-?
I more efficient schools?Better Equije
ped teacliers.
