they have picked up their chalk and started the lesson talking over with mr loyell this question of the rural teacher we learned that he believes flrmrv in rural teachers for rural schools those who grew up on a farm or in a farming community have an understanding and an attit ude which is of vital importance to the pupils sir lovell also believes in toe resident teacher who puts down roots and becomes part of the community in these abnormal times all rules go by tbe board and a good teacher ls and hat some greater effort should be made to help them to catch up when the come back certain we
