The exchange, however, don't say whether the man's breath was baited with eolTee, cloves or orange peel. Ono thing can truly bo said of nil tho republican candidates now before the voters of tho county for nomination they are among tho most industrious men In tho county. Drookvlllo Ihmo crnt. Speak a good word for yourcommunity and its people when you can. Just criticism is all right In its place, but chronic fault finding is a charactorlNtlc that works injury to those who engage in it. After man camo woman and she has been after him every leap year occasion since the creation. This year sho Is after him more vigorously than ever as Bhe will not again have an opportunity in the 10th century. Clearfield Spirit. Good health and a clear conscience are the two essential elements of enjoy, inont in life. If you havo both, speak a kind word to the distressed and lend o helping hand to tho needy. You will recoivo your reward in the great beyond. Ovor in Cambria county in there wore 245 applications for license to sell liquor. In 18!)f there were 229 appli cations and this year there are 216 different places that want the privilege of quenching the thirst of the traveling public in that county. Bob Burdelte answers this question in his usual unique fashion: "May a Christian dance? Of course he may. Ho might swear, Bnd lie, too, but it would not make him a better Christian. Surely, Christian, you may dance, but dancing will never identify you as a Christian. What puzzles us is that you ask the question so often. Christians wljo don't dance never atk it. Yes, Christian, dance If you can't live with out it. Join hands with Salome, Ho rod las and Herod, and circle to the loft. But don't be surprised If you are mistaken for a goat. This is tho side they are on." W. M. Blose, of Big Run, whose an nouncement as a Republican candidate for the nomination for sheriff has appeared in The Star since the present primary campaign opened, has with drawn from tho race for this time. In Ills withdrawal notice Mr. Blose says: "The political situation in this primary campaign being peculiar, and business affairs arising which mako it incon venient for mo to make a thorough anvoss, I have decided, after duo deliberation, to withdraw my name as a Candidate for the office as sheriff at tho ensuing primary election." Ho also expressed his appreciation for tho hearty support pledged by his friends nnd hoped that at some future time they would aid him with thoir influ ence. Mr. Bloso Is a good fellow and would make an exeellent sheriff. The roport of tho county auditors was published In the Brookvlllo Itriwhhran last week, und that pupor In comment ing on the financial affairs of the county said: "Tlie present board of Commis sioners Inherited . from their prede cessors a heavy load of obligations, the result of heavy outlays for bridges, public buildings, court expenses, etc, but they met tho situation courageously ' and are now able to show most gratify ing progress toward a satisfactory con dition. The bewrd lias refunded $25,000 worth of five per oont. bonds at four pel cent, thoreby saving the county one per cent. Interest each year on that amount of mouev: thev have also redeemod and retired $17,000 of the county bonded indebtedness und culled In $15,000 more, on' which Interest will cease March 1st. The gonoral Btutemeut reveals a situa tion not loss fuvoruble. The liabilities over assets being now but $42,048.63, while for the year 181)3 the liabilities over assets were $70,800.13, and for the year 1894, $70,070.06, a difference in favor of the oounty in the two years of $33,851.50. It will also be observed that the Treasury is in condition to meet the expenses of the oounty up to the 1st of June, a porlod in which little money oomes into tho Treasury. On the whoU tha statement is a very favorable one, rir 'y crei'.Utle to the board of Teachers and Teaching. ar "tiftct.K mm.." The above subject embraces matters of vital Importance to every parent in this great republic of ours good tenchers and good teaching are the prime essentials of good schools, and to secure these it becomes necessary for the good people to select, good directors who will act and legislato Intelligently for the good of the young nnd rising generation. It Is a deplorable fact, but nevertheless true, that too little atten tion is given to tho primary department of theschoolsof thlsconntry. Directors, parents nnd every one else pay llttlo hoed to the educational foundation, tho primary schools, but are constantly gn.ing upward to tho cupola or tho highest grade, forgetting the old maxim that "As tho twig is bent, the tree Is Inelimd." We spi-nk from observation gained in practical experience and not by heresay, when wo assert that abou! one in every ten of tho pupils, who attend our public n'liools, can per form rapid addition, unleM he or she Is a niittirtil mathematician, nnd why? Simply Ih'Chiho the fundamental rules of arithmetic arc considered of no Im portance, and tho principal aim of the pupil in to go Hi iimijh the book otuched tile time, regardless of results. And wo are sorry to say that many so-called teachers will allow this to lie. done and delndi themselves and tho public into the b 'lief that they are teaching. It isn't every one who holds a good cer tificate nnd has a good education that make-, u good teacher, not by any mean.-. How many of tho teachers who are r gaged this season are teaching beeaiire they Un-e the profimtion? About one in ten, tho remaining nine are "pulling In tlmu" for the "mighty dol lar." To bo a successful teaohor ono must have a lovo for the work, a cheer ful disposition, a thorough knowledge of human nature, nnd always keep In mind that "The best part of a man's knowledge is whero knowledge leaves off and ignorance begins." How many are thus qualified? There are too many "ology's" and "isms" introduced into our higher grades to tho detriment of the common branches in which there is a great de ficiency, and too many Inexperienced teachers placed in charge of the primary departments, just tite very place whore tho skilled and experienced teacher is needed. Directors mako a great mis take when they place low salaried, ineXerlcncod persons in the primary rooms where the very best teachers should be, who thoroughly understand tho young, and are capable of instilling into their minds tho fundamental principles of a good educntion, so that as tho pupil advances from grado to grade tho work becomes a plensuro and moves along smoothly, instead of being an onerous task, and by thus, advancing with each step thoroughly mastered before taking tho next hi-her, their education would bo complete and lust ing. A good education is the- bulk of the patrimony that tho laliotrlng mat can leave to his children, ami it is for the acquirement of this that bo pays a school tax from his hard earnings and expects the hoard of directors, -who are placed in charge of tho school affairs, to legislate wisely, lay aside rinonal favoritism, and select xood expoMenced teachers to take charRt of the training of his children, espoeiiiMy the younger or primary portion. Don't pwn'tiee falso economy by imagining that money is saved by employing cheap, inex perienced teachers, whedo not 'ch, but merely put In time a tho rate of six hours a day and twenty dys a month, and who, instead of devoting the noon and recess periods to the interests of tho school and their po-pita, spend'; the time In gossipping." Tlieno are dour at any price. Teaching i a profe-tion that requires more than mere etLtica tion. To bo a successful! teacher ono must have a natural aptitude for the work, besides a love for It. and mn4 bo possessed of unlimited patience aid a complete control of himself. Thoso must, in tho main, b) natural qualifi cations, us It takes a lifetime to acquire them and without them the venture will bo a failure. Too many fondly imagine that t hey are destfned for teach ers, when in reality they are hitter fitted for the farm or workshop. Teaching is a profession on which too little stress is placed und in consequence thereof it Is becoming more and more- demoralized from year to year. A teueher in stack ing out in the profession should nevup be allowed to take charge of a gradbd school, but rather a mixed one wheruin he or she will gain more knowledge of human nature and the routine of school duties In ono term than in any graded school in two; simply because there is a variotj) in the work. Elect good, intelligent, reliable direc tors who are personally interested in the welfare of the schools, and who will see to it that educationul cramming and skimming over details is cheeked and thut tho maxim, "rauke haste slowly," is carried out to the letter, then "Teachers and Teaching" in our publlo schools will be a grand suooesa.
