Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illinois Schoolmaster, 1876, Vol. 9: A Journal of Educational Literature and News But a new era in the history of common - school education is at hand. A bright day is already dawning. Even now the many earnest, faithful workers are hailing the first bright rays of light that skirt the eastern hori zon, and harbinger the coming of the full and glorious day. A few years' earnest, faithful labor in the country school-room will furnish experience from which a thoughtful mind will treasure up informa tion that the neophyte in this work can not afford to be without: for I know of no calling at present that suffers more signal defeat, owing to a want of knowing how on the part of the workers, than common-school teaching. And I think of no community, at present, that suffers the fatal results of in competency so extensively, and so destructively', or at so great an outlay of money, as the (oftentimes) unsuspecting taxpayers who support such schools.
