MORAL SuAsIoN IL ScHooLs.-Mr. items was
at the fine w ard School No. 10, in Broome st. yes
terlav and devoted a couple OF hours TO a minute
! examination into the working OF the principle OF
/ Moral Suason ia the government Of Schools The
Suason. to be effective should be thoroughly under
stood by the teacher, and applies alike TO him and
the pupil Much OF the difficulty in the general
adoption Of this principle lies IN the TACT that neglect
at home on the part OF parents neutrazes the effect
of the action Of the teacher Another difficulty is
that there exists idea, IN the minds OF teachers
and the public generally, that To control child 1t is
absolutely necessary to whip little Now, upon
mature examination of all of the evidences IN the
case, So Ear as our City Schools are concerned,
am compelled TO say that In every instance IN the
Ladies' Department where have found great al
vancemeut, have also found the greatest amount
of kindness in the dispositions and discipline OF The
teachers Kindly, but Firm. is the motto OF the
Prncipals who have the most effective classes
have the testimony OF over forty ladies IN
charge of the higher departments OF the various
schools to substantate this position including Miss
Carnell of No. 20, Miss Duncan Of No. ,, Miss
Gouldey OF No. 10 and many others OF the Ward
and Public Schools. And this principle holds good
in the Male Departments, but not IN degree so
apparent We hear the greatest kindness exists
between the teacher and the taught. have inva-
riably found the best order aud scholarship. No.
10 has only two male and twenty-five female
teachers; aud, all prejudice aside | must say that
their success is triumphant Mr.. Demlt the Prm
cipal has by some me ems secured the vcrJ highest
degree Of discipline in his department, and IN
note in the "Nsiters Book we read, " | have
passed three hours in this school and have been
gratfed at finding the order and scholarship so
perfect a fact that seems 70 be entirely overlooked
by the County Superintendent Their should be
no prejudice 20 prevent fair trial OF the principle
in at least one school in this City. ANTI FORCE
