LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
“TEACHERS”
We had the hew teacher for supper
tonight. It’s an annual custom, this
inviting the teacher to'drop in after
“four” Some night and stay to supper
and then try out the matress in the
spare room for a night’s rest and take
a sample of the cooking to make her
dinner on the next day.
By now she’s a member of the com
munity but she’s still referred to as
the liew teacher. That name will stick
for the first year, but then gradually
she’ll be called the teacher and the
years will tick off and we’ll hear that
she has resigned and there'll be a
wedding and she’ll be living on ohe of
the concessions or the sideroads of
the community, an accepted member
of the district*
There's something fascinating abput
new teachefs. When the news spreads
that one lias resigned, everybody
starts wondering about the next one.
A few in the community will start
putting in discreet recommendations
for distant relatives . . . and the
school board will meet and the name
selected will spread by the grapevine
of rural gossip.
School will open and the pupils will
all be anxious to get to school and
some who planned on quitting will go
back just to see what she’s like. Ap
ples polished to a degree of perfection
and bouquets of garden, flowers will
be carried to school during that first
week. Gradually, the novelty wears
off . . . the apples and flowers are
forgotten . . . those who intended
quitting stop intending . . . and the
pupils admit that she’s just as cross as
the last one.
But there’s that first day in church.
Comes Sunday morning and every
body is on time for church. They
cluster around outside and talk . . .
and take their seats before church
time . . . and then the teacher makes
her entrance. How those sharp eyes
can look her over. If she is wearing
a costume from the mail order cata
logue, they’ll tell you the page and the
number of each article.
And then somebody has a dance.
Every young man in the district at
tends. New neckties and new shirts
sell like magic from the display count
ers of Tim Murphy’s store. The oc
casional new suit si to be seen in the
crowd. The “new 'teacher” is sur
rounded by admirers. She can’t begin
to keep account of the dances she has
promised . . . and I’m afraid some
of our local belles get just a little cat
ty at her popularity.
How the proposals for outings seem
to come. A corn roast or a weiner
irojist . . a dance . . or a house par
ty .. a drive in the moonlight . .
a Saturday in the city . . to all the
teacher is an object of fascination.
Nobody stops to consider 'that she
wants to be treated like ordinary
folks. They never think that in all
probability she was raised on a farm
like the rest of us . . . and that un
til she was Normal School age her
clothes were “big sister’s” made over
for her. She's been educated in the
ways of handling youngsters . . but
essentially she’s just plain folks like
any of the rest of us.
The new teacher is the object of
extreme attention until we discover
these facts for ourselves. Then she’s
just another member of the commun
ity . . dressing like us . . talking
like us . . and wanting to do the
things we do.
/I great deal depends on the teach
er in a community. Five days of each
week she takes our youngsters and
teaches them. It’s true that teaching
comes from books to a certain ex-ten*,
but her contact, with the pupils leaves
a great deal more than they get from
the boks. Her understanding and log
ic and way of living are bound to
leave an impression on the. pupils, in.
her school.
Down in their hearts, wise men
know this truth: the only way to help
yourself is to help others.—Elbert
Hubbard.
