Or worse than that, your boasteG line

Daily Preparation by Teachers for their
Glasses.

Mr.. BURROws-In former article,
was led, by way ofillustration, to mention
Geography, as branch upon which the
teacher should daily bestow attention, if
he would induce an interest in it. pur-
suit. Although the object of these artir
cles is not, primarily to illustrate any
particular mode of teaching any branch,
still the nature of the topic eveidently al
lows some latitude in this direction, by
way of illustration and enforcing the main
proposition, "That the teacher should
daily study" As we address teachers,
We hope, however, to be excused from la1c-
ger-like precision upon these points.
Perhaps there is no branch of study
which produces so little of that healthy
vigor and glow of mind so essential in the
student, as the bare outlines of Geogra-
ply. The class of pupils who study it;
are not of course sufficient age and matu-
rity of thought, either to discover striking
excellencies and beauties in the study it
self, to comprehend the extent to which
it will be applied in the pursuit of other
studies, or in the practical concerns of
life. The tracing of boundary lines and
mountain ranges, straining over the pro-
nunciation Of difficult geographical names,
and wading through unknown seas, in
search of islands, soon become tasks pro-
ducing few sensations, except that of irk-
someness. Here lie the difficulties in the
way of its successful pursuits. An inter-
est must be excited and the attention en-
listed. This work performed, and the
student will help himself; the difficulties
in the subject being few, with the excep
tion perhaps of the effort of memory, re-
quired, to retain, when learned But if
the teacher, in connection with his other
duties, perform this for his Geography
class, he has enough to do 1t will not
answer to tell them that the subject is
beautiful, or extremely useful; for how can
that be believed which is not, to some
extent, comprehended! A jewel in cask-
ct, is not a jewel in sight. The living
teacher must disclose these gems. No
textbook, however perfect, can perform
the labor for him.
The topics of Geography furnish am
