We ii9 teachers have the tight to bo treated with respect nnd confidence and it is our duty to earn the respect ami confidence of the public by meritorious work. During tho school year things will doubtless happen which may give of fense to patrons. Should such he tho case, I wish patrons would see either the teacher or myself nnd hear both sides of tho matter before passing judgment. I llrmly bellovo that nine tonthsof tho tioublo between teacher nnd patron i caused by misunderstand ing.

Owing to tho dofeatof tho free high school law, so.no of tho non-resident pupils limy hesitate to attend. In this year of bountiful crops and good prices every country boy or girl that has com pleted tho common branches ought to attend some high school orncademy. Three-fourths of an acre of good wheat at present prices, will nay a pupil's tuition a whole year. Wo hail lour tjon non-resident pupils at Ord wheu it took about live acres of wheat to pay the tuition. In conclusion I wish to urge upon the patrons the Importance of punctuality anil regularitj of attendance. No boy or cirl that comes dawdlimr into school after nine o'clock will ever leave bo hind him "foot-prints on the sands of time." Tardiness, in my judgment, is a greater evil than absonce, for tardiness is me cuiiu oi simticssucss, while ab sence is generally enforced by neces sity. Thore are times when no odium should be cast on tardiness. Circum stances beyond the control of parent, or pupil may cau-in tardiness. We will ex cuse such cases, and thero will bo no censure attached to them. Very truly, Gr.o. I. Kkli.kv. Teachers' Reading Circle, Bi:n Clouii, Neb.. Sept. 1, 1807.
