THE CIRCULATION
By Prof. Mark
A Little Plain Talk on Our Borough's
Institution
The School year just closed has
been a year marked by a good
spirit of co-operation.
Co-operation of pupils.—By this
we mean that the pupils in re-
the of the
= teachers have worked well. They
have displayed readiness to "learn;
sponse to instruction
and no matter what few occasional
instances of friction occurred, the
general tone of the student body
was good.
Although the school year opened
earlier than usual, yet the schools
were full at the very beginning.
The stragglers that come and go
belong to that floating population
which characterizes many com-
munities. The attendance was
good generally. Regular attend-
ance is one important means of
having teacher, school, and pupil in
closest relationship for work.
Co-operation of teachers.—Only
when teachers work in harmony
with the purpose of education as
signified by a school system does
the whole educational machinery
of the town schools move smoothly.
Each teacher needs to feel the
importance of her position as a
teacher, the importance of the
duties of a teacher as they relate
to life, the importance of the re-
sponsibility which each pupil in her
.school calls from her. Judging by
the general tone of our schools we
think it can be said truthfully that
seriousness in the important rela-
tionships was felt by the teachers.
The spirit of work marked the con-
duct of the schools.
The problem of the teachers is
to make each child’s life as rich as
possible, to. develop the good and
repress the wrong, to fill the mind
with the facts of knowledge in such
a way as to make the child become
a useful man or woman. The
teacher is the strongest safeguard
of public peace and public good in
a community. When co-operation
exists among teachers then does
the greatest efficiency result.
Co-operation of parents.—It
of course true that no work with
children can he done well unless
partents manifest sympathetic in-
terest in the work of their children.
With that aiding, discipline, ef-
ficiency, heart developement fol-
lows. The teacher then is relieved
from the friction of unseen opposi-
tion, hasdoubled her power of moral
upbuilding, and has a keen sense of
the appreciation of her work in
forming young minds,
Many parents have visited the
schools during the year, but not
enough of them have done so.
Visiting is a spur to both teacher
and pupil, and is the best way of
showing the parental attitude in
school matters. The person who
would criticize school affairs and
yet never step inside the schools
shows but 'the blindness of ignor-
ance, not the clear-sightedness of
wisdom. Teachers and school offi-
cers want judgment passed on their
work, and are happy to greet all
who are earnestly aiding to better
school conditions.
is
Co-operation of direction—A
jarring school board, torn by petty
jealousies or short-sighted policies
is the greatest stone in the road of
good school organization; but when
harmony pervades and genuine
public interest is the stimulating
motive, then advance becomes real
and appreciative, then the public
rest easy knowing that school af-
fairs are safe, then life in school
work is assured. Our board of
directors have never withdrawn
their assistance when needed, but
have shown that they feel the

caster.
The bill entered in our state
legislature for high school super-
vision under the department of
public instruction was defeated.
This was unfortunate, for the super-
vision is much needed to promote
great uniformity and stimulate in-
terest in high school work.
The appropriation to the public
schools is now $15,000,000, an in-
crease of $4,000,000. Gradually
Pennsylvania moves up to the place
she should hold as a leader in edu-
cational thought. The end of state
aid for public school work is not
yet. We are but beginning to
recognize the scope and great im-
portance of public education.
The bill increasing the pay of
teachers from $35 as a minimum
to $40 and $50 was also before the
last legislature. Such legisla-
tion is excellent. Benjamin Har-
rison once said that “A cheap
coat makes a cheap man.” It
equally true that a cheap teacher
makes a cheap school. If the best
teacher is required, then, suitable
remuneration must be paid.
It is to be hoped that no back-
ward step will ever be taken in our
own town schools. None will be
taken if men continue to shoulder
their responsibilities bravely and
not shrink from new conditions
which demand new means of ac-
complishment. But there must
ever be an open eye for the best
and ever a true spirit to guide.
Hope and confidence and fame are
as necessary in school affairs as in
business.

Borough Treasurer at a salary ; but
finally the Union National Bank
was elected to the position with-
out salary, and it has filled the
position creditably. We suggest
that, as there is nothing in the
school laws against a bank acting
as treasurer of the Board, that a
bank be elected treasurer, with-
out salary. Since the Union Na-
tional has the Borough and Water
accounts, it seems fair that the oth-
er bank should have the school ac-
count, and we are reliably informed
that at the meeting of the directors
of the First National Bank yester-
day, a director having sounded the
Joard on the matter, the directors
present all favored the bank’s ac-
ceptance of the treasurership, with-
out salary, if elected. Marietta’s
school board has a bank for treas-
urer, and if one of our directors
will nominate the First National
Bank, its of necessity
would follow, since all members are
sworn to look out for the best inter
est of the taxpayers, and no mem-
ber could well vote against the bank
if he values the good opinion of his
constituents.
