Wo are informed thai during the sum
mcr vacation there will be a school opened
in this city for the preparation of touch
ers. Prof. Jones, of the High School,
with one or more assistants, will have su
pprvision. It is possible that a teachers'
institute will follow afterwards.
Cutting down the pa' of teachers will
fuioly result in drawing out the class
whom we ought especially to wish to keep,
and convening the school room into tem
porary refuges for the unemployed. It is
poor economy whioli hiies ttic very cheat).,
est hands for woi k that requite-) trained
ability and long experience. This is the
opinion of the Maryland School Journal,
and of anybody wli.i knows what schools
are for. Ucn. Neb. Pre.
Sensible! The Sttdiixt joins hands
with the Press in opposing that '"penny
wise and pound fonlUh" economy which
is leveling the most destructive blows at
school interests of this state. It is an in
disputable Tact that in some cou.ities well
qualified and experienced teachers have
been compelled to leave and seek elsewhere
for better wages, and a sphere of labor
offering more remunerative employment.
Lancaster county feels the loss of several
experienced teachers who did not feel dis
poned to underbid the many unemployed
young men and women who offer to labor
in the responsible position of tyiohor for
a mere nothing. We call for economy in
the expenditures of school monies, but a
true economy cannot be inaugurated until
our school funds reserved for teachers'
wages are paid to those who leave an im
press of their work behind.
