cheis chels before the tile introduction of cooperation operation co in this territory good teachers were few and far between and a teachers association as was utterly out of season in ill my mind it is to this excellent institution that much of the progress that has been made in times past or will be made in times unies to comejo due it is this tilis institution the teachers association that must bring about the required result hence the more wo we foster it and strengthen it by giving it our liberal support the sooner the end will be gained much lias has already been done for its voice has been heard in every part of the territory and lias has brought membris from st george in the lilo south and bear lake in the north and having met together as ai a united body of teachers whose object would be the promotion of the cause of education and the strengthening of the band baud of fellow fellowship shi p so as to lore xe tain such in the circle whose names would comi command aud respect in our community and whose profundity of learning and ability to polish tl the growing g mind could not be purchased with the salary wilary of a common dry goods clerk iho tho question naturally presents itself what shall bo be our duty and for what have wo we met together many important questions have been discussed among which has been the reward of the readier teacher I 1 trust that the tho good pez people 0 o will pardon us for thus arly early coni considering dering this question it is natural for animated creature creatures sto to first seeh seek for fur nourishment the first finst instinct of life lire from tile the young of the brute creation to the little newborn new born babe is nourishment for its system societies are organized all over the corid wild whose is the

iilo accumulation ot of wealth for its constituents but this i 1 i not nor has it been beed outsole our bole sole object where is the teacher in this territory that has become wealthy through P te teaching achin 0 hlo Eko school hool hooi those qualified ld for the thu position have almost invariably iez fer left it for a more lucrative one and none but thoe those who ho can get et nothing 1 else to do because of pe toncy and thoe those having qualified themselves forthe office imagine they can see lii iii in lil the distant horizon a faint glimm crof the dawn of a brighter day dy are arc

TEACHER before doing so boweter however tc I 1 claim adur cleme clemency giey ticy in criticisms as I 1 shall not be able to do justice justlee to PO so lengthy lengths a subject in thoroughly elucidating the tiie various points that might be brought brou glit allt to bear upon it in one short address the first question that pre Vre presents itself to the mind in the consideration of the subject dundur discussion is who are arc tiie the proper persons to effect ct this change and can call we WC make mare regulations to suit the tile different ent conditions of the people and tile the various persons good b bad ad and tind indifferent employed in the profession fes sion slun we nc are well aware that there are m many any persons engaged ill in it who merely adopt it fora makeshift and li esons who would not under any circumstances attend a teachers as association ocia ocla tion persons of this class and others who desert manual labor with the object of making tile tilo schoolroom their couch of or case and have not given nor are willing to give their brainwork brain work and time to acquire proficiency make generally the tile loudest cry over low tuition and would be the first to avail themE themselves elves of the increase every dollar paid to sueh such individuals is so much money thrown away for when the teacher of proper qualifications is antio deuced in tho the district where the incompetent competent lias has been holding forth more time is required to conert the erroneous principles inculcated than would bo be demanded to take taue a child without any learning over the same ame ground children know that the two teachers differ from each other but it requires time for themselves to prove unless they have been previously aware by certificates of qualification qualifications or known reputation of one of or t them e n which one to give credit as t the I 1 proper authority this fault has lias been be on attributed to parent parents s but in my mind recoils upon our own shoulders it is an old saying nie hie lord helps those that help themselves and very very veny applicable in our case ease we have never until lately asserted our rights we cannot expect the p people popie ople opie to lead us in the tho bauc cau eau of education it is not their province pio plo vinee vince they have entrusted that in our hands and they look to us for
