training. While I do not under?
value "the three R's", as the old
time master used to have it "read?
ing, riting, and rethmetic," still in
order to interest and hold a child's
attention, it is necessary to intro?
duce other things which will not
only vary the monotony of school
life, but be of real lasting benefit
to the dnild. Singing and draw
ons, and stories of nature,
Tory, and geography told by
teacher, all help to develop
memory, and at the same time
prove of inestimable value to the
child.
Therefore, it must be dearly
seen that no public school teach?
er in a crowded, ungraded school
sueh as we have in our county,
can possibly pay the attention to
our little folks we would like to
have paid them, and while we
wait for the public schools to im?
prove, our primary tots are grow?
ing up with untrained minds, and
will be poorly equipped to enter
the High School and College.
Therefore I appeal to all par?
ents of small children, let us stand
as a unit in having a first class
primary school established in our
village.
No "one dollar a month" sys?
tem will do this. No giddy headed
inexperienced college girl can do
it. We can't afford to let a young
beginner experiment with our
children, but there should bes?me
way to enable us to employ the
services of an experienced teach?
er who will take an interest in
the work for the work's sake, and
not merely "to keep school" for
what few dollars it pays, such per?
sons never succeed.
We cannot expect, however.
for any person ot experience to
devote their time and energy to
this work without ample reward,
and the Journal may hear from
me again on this subject as I have
