FARM-S FOR TEACHERS.
A novel scheme for procuring beltter
‘ , country school teachers by providing
' them with suitable homes and a'mple
nrrenge for farming purposes was in-
troduced by Phllandcr P. Claxton,

“We will never got better tench-
‘ers," he said, “until we make the
tenther‘sposition more respect-
able. No one who moves about
from town to two and school to

children whom he teaches—~11
knowledge without which the
country school teaches work can
never be effective."
Anything that will increase the in-
fluence. of the country school and help
