There is a deal of talk just now of engag-
ing teachers, raising salaries and all
such. I wonder how many times the
trustees go to the school to see how the
teacher is getting on. I do not know
how they do in other schools but in ours
the teacher is visited once a month by
some one and about once a year by the
trustees. Why, I go oftener than that to
see Dur teacher myself. If some of the
complaining ones would visit the school
occasionally they would grumble loss and
try to assist more. I would not marry
a teacher, not for the world. Why, they
all are as cross as bears and only know
how to rule, and I won't be ruled, so now
then. We have many a roll, Bob and 1,

gotten the name, but it is a very nice

times. Yours truly, Bears
