ior Icrhiul
Ma. EDIroR--I send you the following
scraps, culled from the bulge, of School
masters Experience; which, if they contain
any thing worth publishing, you are at liberty
to copy.
FWst-He advises Gf they are determined
to have schooD to appoint committee who
have no scholars to send: for they will be like
ly to take an interest in the school, and not
having family themselves to instruct, they
can devote their time and energies to instruct
others without partialty.
Then, instruct your committee to engage
''ciieap teacher" for it is an enormous waste
Of money TO pay twelve dollars month while
teachers may be obtained for eight; but be
sure to bargain with your teacher at twenty
six days 10 mouth, because the law of Gus
tom will only obllge him to keep twenty-five.
Besides, if the school-master is steady man,
as he should be, what need hath he of les-
ure day "every other Saturday"
But be not over-scrupulous about qualifca-
tons or moral character ofthe man you engage
to instruct your children; if he is sufficiently
honest to keep his hours" and is mighty with
the "birch" he is competent.
When it is time for your school TO begin,
draw load of logs to the school-house and
the school will be supplied with wood for the
| winter, and never cucumber your school house
with woodshed, but let the fuel be seasoned
! by the SHOWS and rains.
Be not too particular about repairing the
broken windows. II the scholars cannot es-
cape through them, it is sufficient, for cool
air is refreshing in crowded room.
| Be sure to compel your teacher TO 'board
around" especially if you have female
teacher; for long walk in the morning thro'
the winters snow, invigorates one for the du-
ties OF the day, but especially, it will add a
new lustre 10 female beauty. And when you
think the teacher has boarded your proportion
of the time, ask him politely how many days
he boards to the scholar, and he will be likely
to take the hint.
| II your child has no books, be not to the
needless expense Of buying. for he can "iook
over" with the neighbor's children, and II be
| is as docile as a 'bass-wood stick" be not
over concerned-he is a child OF promise and
probably genius.
When children return from school, be not
so stupid as to disregard what they tell you OF
the teacher and his management, for such dis
regard will be,ray to your children want Of
confidence in their reports; and may create in
them distrust'ul disposition. But ifthey are
punished at school, condole with them, and
accuse the teacher in their presence, for in 50
doing you will cherish sweetness Of temper
and spin, OF obedience in your children.
Do not visit the school TO see whether your
teacher is competen, or non comPos meniis
for tina, would show TO the teacher and schol.
ars, that you took an interest in the school
Finslly-follow strictly the above advice
and you need no, be solieitous about the MS
