SCHOOL HATTERS* TEACHERS' ASSOCIATIONS. Let *s, then, he up and doing, With heart lor Buy fide; is;ill achieving, still pursuing. Learn to tabor and to wait.— Lougf The most important crnsjderation devolving upon the instructor of the rising generation, is the maintaining of sodi a discipline that will •enable bin; o ke
e fresb
vitior into those who otherwise woul--> be leth
argic and inactive, and by this meaDs create an
cxictcment upon school subjects, which is as
much to be desired as any otber consideration
pertaining to the school system. Our county,
it is said by many of our sister counties, is a
bundled per centum behind the times in school
affairs. I an> scrry to make a reiteration of
ibis charge, but I have to meet it so frequent
ly, that I believe tbe best plan decidedly, is to
let those who are interested in the noble cause
4>f education know how they are regarded by
their neighbors, which information (if they are
uut already acquainted with the fact) 1 hope
will redouble their efforts iu advancing the
common cause.
I hope, yea, I pray that every teacher within
the limits of Bedford CouDty will make evcty
honorable effort so organize a Teachers' Asso
ciation in his district, and endeavor, if pes.-i
--ele, to get up an excitement on the subject of
Education, and not only benefit himself, but
make every effort to snow the citizens of his
immediate neighborhood the necessity for such
an Association. Director?, ia many instances,
are opposed to allowing teachers the necessary
time it would require to hold such meetings,
although the decisions of the Superintendent of
Common Schools, p. 108, clause 391, says:
"■Tmcheia should organize and attend these In
stitutions, and if would be well for the Direc
tors to soecify this obligation in the contract,
and ALLOW THEM A CERTAIN' PORTIOK OF
THEtlt TIME FOR THIS PURPOSE. TtOCherS
should devote every other Saturday to lnsti
tutts, and should have the remaining Saturdays
to themselves. The schools will be. greatly ben
efited by this policy" But if Directors will
not allow a portion of time, as specified in the
Decisions, do uot allow this simple circum
stance to deter you for one instant, but meet
every alternate Salurdsy, which they necessa
rily must allow you, or at night, end s'rain ev
ery nerve to accomplish the end so much to he
desired, and if you are now slightly or even
greatly incommoded, remember that a day is
earning f.ts*, when you shall rcceiva your re
ward. Labor no v, and future generations will
applaud your zeal and admire your integrity of
purpose.— J 11 Durbo'Tow.
