All but three of our schools
began work last Monday morn
ing.
While there is a general short
age of teachers in the state , yet
Richardson County has several
teachers without schools.
Miss Grace Meyer has resign
ed her position as primary
teaher in the Falls City schools
to accept a similar position in
the Omaha schools.
Prof. P , W. Carr has resigned
his position as principal of the
Rule school to accept a more
lucrative position in the United
States mail service. A substi
tute teacher was secured and
the Rule schools opened last
Monday morning.
/Teachers / who do not have a
copy or the Daily Program , the
Course of Study , or the Rules
and Regulations of Richardson
County School Officers Associa
tion , should notify the County
Superintendent who will be
glad to supply them.
During the last few weeks
uearly all our school boards
have prepared for the opening
of the school ; weeds have been
mowed , floors scrubbed , wind
ows cleaned , and every thing
put , in readiness for the open
ing. "Well begun is half done. "
It is well known that our in
stitute exhibit of school work
was the best ever given in
southeastern Nebraska , but for
want of funds this exhibit will
not be taken to the State Fair.
But we have arranged to have
our collection of native grasses
exhibited.
The school in Dists 30 , Mr.
Earl Butler , teacher , began
Monday morning , August S8th
with an enrollment of 15. Wil
lie Peck who completed the
eight grade last spring is at
tending school and reviewing
eighth grade work. After the
fall work is completed , it is
quite certain that some ninth
grade work will be taken up.

The Opportunity of the Teacher
in Relation to Civic Betterment.
BY.1. M. GH1CI5NWOOD , SUIMOKIN-
TEND13NT OP SCHOOLS ICANSAS
CITY.
At the outset , it is necessaay
to discriminate clearly what
the four words Opportunity ,
Relation , Civic and Betterment
mean when interpreted literal
ly , and then to consider them
as they stand related in the sub-
juct proposed for dij-cussion.
Opportunity is from the Latin
opportunus , and signifies fitness
convenience , suitableness , lo
cal advantage , some advantage
offered itself. If is in this lat
ter sense , no doubt that the
word is used by the editor who
assigned the topic. Relation is
also from the Latin relatio , and
it is used in the sense of a car
rying back , or bringing back ,
but it perhaps is restricted in
its use here to a semi-legal or
technical meaning , not however
such as one would ascribe to
the relation between husband
and wife , or parent and child ,
but rather that kind of link
that connects teacher and pupil
together as leader and follower.
Civic is also a Latin derivative
meaning a citizen , or one who
is interested in some way in
city afl'airs. Betterment reters
most frequently to an estate in
connection with some improve
ment which renders it more com
plete than ordinary repairs
would do. Here betterment is
intended for Improvement.
From these restricted , nomi
nal definitions , it is readily seen
that a more enlarged interpre
tation must be given to these
four words than their narrow
liberal use will justify. Also ,
that such a liberal construction
must be placed on these words
as they stand related to one an
other , so as to permit the teach
er to train his or her pupils in
such a course of instruction as
will enable the latter to become
useful and honored members of
the community in which they
live. The practical question ib
"Can such a thing be done , pro
vided the teacher uses the op
portunity to turn the pupil's
minds in the proper direction ? "
I answer that it is not only pos.
sible to give such instruction ,
but that it is the teachers duty
to do all things that pertain to
the upbuilding of the pupil's
character along the lines of
honorable and useful citizen
ship.
At this juncture however , the
important thing is for the teach
er to set himself in the proper
attitude before the children ,
and 10 imbue them with the
spirit of absolute fairness to
wards all politcal and religious
sentiments. The teacher who
is an active republican , demo
oral , or socialistic partisan , can
lever nake any head way with
.he children who come from
lomes where opposite political
opinions prevail. An Slluslra-
inn of a very simple kind will
explain my meaning better titan
in extended argument , A Bap-
.ist teacher once tried to give
the pupils of Ins school an ex-
Uted lesson along the line of
civic duty in regard to a local
election in which one of the
candidates for the common coun
cil , was a butcher , who "occa
sionally took a glass of beer. "
LMiis candidate for civic honors
Belonged to the same political
larty as the teacher. When the
he teacher broached the sub-
ect , half a dozen children want
ed to know at once whether he
would vote for the butcher. "
The teacher was cornered ,
blushed , evaded , but this did
lot satisfy the youngsters.
Some of these children has been
taught in the grade the year be-
'ore that butchers are blood-
.hirsty , and that their children
usually delighted in torturing
larmless animals. Then a
democratic boy lifted up .his
voice and said. " he is a repub
lican , and we are democrats at
our house , and Papa voles the
ticket straight. " This is what
in the classic language of the
reat universities , iscalled ' 'hot
stufP'in the school.
Children in all such matters
reason concretely , whether it be
in the political , religious , or in
the wage-earning field.
A few years ago an accomp
lished a young woman was
teaching in a rural school in
Iowa. One Sunday afternoon ,
she and a young man were rid
ing in a buggy in the neighbor
hood of her school house , when
they came to a field which be
longed to a sturdy , industrious
German. In his field by the
roadside was an acre or two of
turnips. So the young gentle
man said : "If you will hold the
lines , I will get over the fence
and pull up two or three turnips
tu eat. " Over he went , and got
the turnips. This German had
a little boy who went to this
young woman to school. He
happened to beat the pig-pen
near by , and saw his lather's
turnips pulled uj > . The next
day , the class in the Second
Reader had one of those elevat
ed moral lessons , and the teach
er expounded to the school the
beauties of right li"ing , and
especially to this class of little
children. She felt that she was
making a deep and lasting im
pression on Rudolph's mind as
he stood there , his great blue
eyes looking deeply into hurs.
In fact , she was so sure of it
that she said , "Rudolph , don't
you think so ? " With impert
urbable gravity It e replied :
'You stole our t'irnips yestur-
day. " By the native American
population it is not regarded as
a breach of decorum to go into
a ' 'turnip patch" and pull up a
few raw turnips to cat , but in
the German mind it was differ
ent. Let the teacher be sure of

teacher should know all thecir.

rons before starting out too
rashly as a reformer. Stonley
Jevons sayssomewhere : "Milk
maids do not suffer from small
pox , " and , in the words of Dar
win , "Scientific importance may
attach even to such an appar
ently trifling observation as
that , white tom-cats wi th blue
e es are deaf. " Children oc
casionally have a few scattered
thoughts of their own on some
subjects , and there anne tell
ing when some of these thoughs
"will pop up , "sonustiines to the
surprise and not always to the
delight of the teacher.
Let us start on another tack
Children play games to their
own liking , and I think the
games of their own choosing ,
not imposed by the will of a
superior , are the oues they pre
fer. By reverting to the fac
that these games are always
) layed according to certain
ules or laws that are kelf-im.
posed , and that all who play
nust obey the children are led
jy degrees to the conclusion
that rules , and regulations , and
aws are necessary for their
wellbcing , not only in their
Barnes but in their schoolroom
luties. They soon reach the
onclusion that the one who
cheats or misrepresents , or bul-
ies others , is \indcsirable
companion , and he is excluded
rom participation in their games
md shunned by his playmates.
3cginning in this simple manner
; he child's ideals in regard to
chdol and civic duties contin-
tally expand ; and he eventually
caches that stage in develop-
nent when he'is cable to weigh
evidence impartially , and to un-
lerstand , the fact that the hon
est and w e 1 1 m e a n i n g
> eople , who are intelligent and
conscientious , may differ wide-
y on matters of local , state ,
uitional , or international policy
jnst as during the American
devolution , the Adamses of
Massachusetts and the Lees of
Virginia believed in "committee
government , " so afraid were
they of one man power ; while
Washington , Hamilton , Greene ,
Marshall and others were in
Javor of putting authority where
it could act with promptness ,
precision , and power , energetically
cally applied. The one party
believed in the potency of an
enthusiastic , undisciplined mili
tia , whose courage soon oozed
out , and the other party in a
in a trained , effective body of
disciplined men who could strike
hard , retreat rapidly if neces
sary , and not become a disor
ganized mob. But here in the
practical politics of life , the
teachers are rowing in one dir
ection and'the men who direct
political affairs in another.
The very young man in politics
is very full of enthusiasm , and
most frequently he knows not.
what his enthusiasm is about.
