Tho nbove subject suggested itself to mo by hearing several young bloods in conversation at a public house near tho boundary of our (Forest) county, fpenking of our teachers and stating how they could "run out" & couple of our home (resident) teachers, and tho thought occurred to mo that an arti cle on the subject might not bo iuap' propriato at this season, when directors are looking about for teachers lor their respective schools, and also by way of warning leal them to make worthy selections for instructors for the com iug term. There are ten school districts in our county, aud, I believe, forty-nine schools. We have about the same her of resident teachers any of i are entirely able to take chargo i i ... oi . .most any scnooi in ine county; and are fully acquainted with tho wants and requirements of tho same. Many have taught for four, five, six, ten or more years in tho county, and have always given entire satisfaction. One thing is noticeable in many districts where homo talent has been employed for two or three successive terms, the Bchools are the , best. This is owing to the fact that the home teachers take more interest in the schools than foreigners do. Many teachers from VenaDgo, . ClarioDj Wairen and other counties regard Forest county as an asylum for noor and run out" teachers to get a foot ho,d d and tQ make BomQ kind of a reputation mt borne think, when about to make a beginning, Forest county will do for a term or two, until I havo a little experience then Forest county can go to the dogs.
