Workmanship Guaranteed Any reform or development in educational work requires the sus taining force of public opinion. Thirty years ago the high schocl was opposed as undemocratic; tax payers objected to being taxed to support higher education. But the high school, nevertheless, was established. At first it was meag erly supported and poorly equip ped; it was compelled to charge tuition in order to exist at all. Yet it lived, and today the party or faction that would attempt to cripple its growth is doomed to failure and defeat. Public senti ment has been educated. So has it been with the introduction of manual training and domestic science; so has it been with medi cal inspection; and school sanita tion. An intelligent acquaintance, by the public, with that which is sound and helpful to individual and social life, will always insure hearty approval and support. A Few Things for Teachers Not to Do obey, the smaller ones will give no trouble. The teacher who is determined to have a quiet, studi ous school will not neglect to give prompt attention to misdemeanors on the part of the older pupils. Do not fait to have a daily pro gram so that each child will know just exactly what he is expected to do at each period of the day. Do not neglect the daily prepara tion. No matter how many times you may have reviewed a subject, it will do no harm to have it fresh in your mind and the teach er owes it to herself as well as to the scholars to make every thing as interesting as possible. One more thing, do not fail to be on time. The teacher had bet ter be on the schoolground at seven o'clock if necessary, than to allow any of the scholars to get there first. If several of the chil dren get there ahead of the teach er, she will be compelled to listen to all sorts of complaints that she can never get the real facts about; and the day will be spoiled to a great extent before thfe work be gins. so do not be late.

I The Garden Island $2.50 One of the first things many teachers are tempted to do at the beginning of the term is to make rules; and a good thing to re member in this connection is to stop making them before you be gin. As surely as you tell a room full of pupils that they must not whisper, each separate one there will think of some very important thing to tell to some one near him and he will fairly explode until he has relieved himself of that idea. And one who reads this will know that this is true from his own ex perience, for practically every per son has met the same condition in his school life. And it is the same way with anything else that is forbidden. As soon as the chil dren hear what it is, that is the very thing they want to do most; so don't make rules. Do not neglect the first case of insubordi nation or disobedience that occurs. Attend to it promptly and judiciously even if it is the very first thing you have to do after ringing the bell, and it will very likely be a long time before you have the second. Children will know by the end of the first day of school just about how far they can go, and it will be a pretty difficult thing for a teacher to re gain control that may be lost during the first six hours' ac quaintance with her pupils. One never knows just what is going to happen; but the teacher will have abundant opportunity on the eventful first day to impress her force or lack of force of character on her pupils. It will befareasier to overlook slight disobediences later on in the term when she has become acquainted with the different dispositions of the chil dren, than on the, first morning. Do not imagine that you can treat all the pupils alike. Some scholars will 30 quietly and dili gently to work to prepare a lesson that others in the same class will not be willing to give five min utes' effort to. Now, if there are any little favors Jo bestow such as reading a story, or any particu lar thing, the diligent pupil may like to do let him do it: and make it plain to the restless, un ruly scholar that he can gain the same privileges by attending to duty firt. Do not punish the little children for their little offenses and pass by the things that the older pupils do t 0 produce confusion, dis order and trouble. If the older scholars are kept within bounds and ma,de to know that they must A few years ago the rural- high school was merely a city high school set down in the country. It taught only the traditional sub jects and found its chief function in preparing a few studiously in clined pupils for college. It afford ed no vocational instruction or training, and its teachers were able to perform their entire duty, satisfactorily, too, without exert ing any particular influence upon, or even coming into contact with, those members of the community who were not enrolled in its regu lar classes. The school was i n session five or six hours a day for five days a week during thirty to forty weeks of the year; through out the remaining hours, days, and weeks it was closed and ap parently forgotten. Such schools prevail today, but they are no longer satisfactory; a new type of school is evolving and a new conception of the functions of the rural high school is growing. In the cities the establishment of technical high schools or units, affording vocational education in business methods and practices, in home economics, and in the va rious industries, met with such immediate and hearty approval that the class rooms, laboratories, and shops of these schools soon became crowded, while many vacant seats confronted the teachers in the classical and college-preparatory schools. In the country a like hearty approval has been given vocational courses in agriculture and home economic wherever these subjects have been intro duced, and the experiment has gone far enough to demonstrate its practicality and to give un mistakable evidence of its popular ity in terms of increased atten dance and special state appropria tions for instruction in agriculture and home, economics. Another indication o f the popularity of .such is found in the tendency to speak of schools in which these subjects are definitely provided for a s "agricultural high schools," and, indeed, the term is not in appropriate in the case of schools doing real high school work and employing special teachers for these vocational subjects.

Per haps the designation "community work" expresses it well. This work in the high school differs from that in the colleges, however, in that the high school deals with folks at first hand while the col lege often treats with them at the length of a Mate. I he agricul tural high school usually is situa ted in the midst of a farming peo ple. It is with them that its work lies.

Educators are beginning to see that the agricultural high school, in addition to its duties to the pupils who enroll in its classes, may ultimately find one of its greatest fields of useful en deavor among those members of the community who do not attend school and for whom the school funds are not usually appropriated. It is by its work with the com munity at large with the men and women on the farms and the boys and girls who can not attend school regularly that the agricul tural high school may find its strongest cla-m upon popular attention.

Even though schools of the old or class ical type might just as much de sire to help the people, yet they would find less opportunity and ability to do so because of their limited equipment along lines of practical things. The old type of high school would find it difficult to extend among all the people its teaching of history, mathema-1 tics, or languages.
