I hesitate to draw the line Between the two - where God has not" THURSDAY. MAY 1. 1913 ADVICE FROM PROF TATE. State Supt. of Country Schools Against Change of Teachers. Editor County Record:? We have once more reached the annual period of unrest in the teaching profession of South Carolina, The rural schools are beginning to close and even the town and city schools are looking forward to com mencement exercises. witn tne closing of the year's work comes usually the feeling of uncertainty on j the part of the teacher as to the position for next year. This is often accompanied by the anxious search and furious application for positions. If the past years are any indication as to the future, from 50 to 75 per cent of our teachers will change places at the beginning of the new school session. This instability in the profession,from whatever causes it results,is the greatest curse under which the schools of the State are now suffering. It is absolutely imnossible for a community to build up I a school, or for a teacher to develop ability or acquire a reputation, as long as three-fourths of our teachers teach one year in a place. The fault sometimes lies with the teacher who, from a lack of interest in his work,or from a desire for new surroundings, is unwilling to cultivate the field which he has entered long enough to reap the harvest. The worst recommendation which a teacher can present to a board is a batch of letters showing that he has taught at five or six places in as many years. The teacher should at least wish to remain long: enough in one community to become thoroughly identified with the interests of the peoDle. It is impossible for him to adapt his teaching to the needs of a community when he does not remain long enough to become acquainted with these needs. The fault sometimes lies with the school board, who labors under the mistaken impression that a teacher loses his influence as soon as he enters on friendly relations with his pupils. Sometimes the board does not appreciate the fact that a teacher becomes more valuable with experience and deserves substantial recognition of increasing proficiency. A school board should show its appreciation for a good teacher by at least a small annual increase in salary. Last year many school boards of the State paid the tuition fee and & nor* nf pynpnsps r>f thpir teaeh ers at Winthrop surarrer school when these returned to their positions for another year. I should like to commend this plan to all the school trustees of the State. A few dollars added to the first month's salary next year as a partial re-imbursement for expenses incurred or. account of summer school attendance will be returned many fold in increased efficiency and enthusiasm. Allow me to suggest also that school boards re-elect their teachers immediately after the close of the j school, so that they may become settled at once and may make their plans for the new year.
