July 18 - Brussels at Myth (Continued from Page 1) was $425 a year, Her father told her she shouldn't have to teach for so little, and convinced her to look fora job in a town. She found one in Brussels. It payed $600 a year. "Even in those days, $600 didn't go very far" Mrs. Tyerman r ecalls. "If I hadn't lived at home, don't know what I would have done." When she began, there were • three classrooms of BPS. Mrs, Tyerman had 41 students that year, spread over grades 3 , 4 and 5 and the pattern was the same for the first ten years she taught. Teaching was different in those days. In some ways, it was more of a challenge "We hadn't any equipment then" she remembers. Children had to buy heir own writing materials and extbooks. "A reader and a book or mathematics were all they ad", she says. "Now its so ifferent". And, Mrs. Tyerman hinks, the differences aren't all or the better. "In those days, here was much more time for aching. Now there's French, and library. and gym, and other hings that take away from the me in the classroom." The children are different today than they were when she began. `Children are more friendly" she says. "They used to stand in awe of the teacher, but they don't now,"They also seem to enjoy school much more than they once did. "Its more interesting. They have so many things to work with. And a little bit of fun seems to help." Mrs. Tyerman taught until 1943, then left to get married. She earned to teaching in BPS in 958. Students Progress One of the nice things about wing and teaching in one place or so long is that you get a Nance to watch the progress of our students. Mrs. Tyerman has taught more than 1000 students in er long career, and many of hem still live in and around tissels. "It's nice to see some of your former students become oniething important in the world", she says. A student she had some time ago has gone on to become a eacher, and is also on staff at PS, Mrs. Tyerman laughs when she remembers how one day some students noticed that the ndwriting of the two teachers vas similar, The students were eally surprised to learn that Mrs. Tyerman had taught the teacher, d that's why their writing was alike. Mrs. Tyerman thinks her years mthe classroom have been worth 1.1 don't think there's any job hat's quite as rewarding as orking with children" she says. After 29 years, Mrs. Tyerm an ssure that she is ready for a rest. But how will she feel when September comes, and the first, bell of the year rings? She says she really can't say yet, "I'm hoping to, enjoy my retirement. But there is no doubt I'll miss the youngsters. They're really great little people." Squirts June 29 - Walton at. Brussels.
