SOMETHING WRONG.

There is wrong some where in the mode of
examining persons, as candidates for teach
ers. Instead of confuing their examinations
to really essential things, Boards of Ex amin
ers are in the habit of dealing with teachers
as they would with class of pupils in the
different branches. They dwell too much up
on the minute, and are not particular enough
in ascertaining the capacities of the several
candidates as teachers. 1t is one thing to
teach, but quite another to be pupil;
A candidate is furnished with list of
questions in each branch, and is required to
write out the answers. What do the Exam
iners know about his power to examine the
general principles of Grammar or Arithme-
tic? He may know very well how thing is,
and not know why it is; and, all must admit
that such person is not desirable as teach
er.
The teachers business is not to tell hi
pupil that such and such things are, because,
that the pupil can see for himse IF but his
business is to make those things plain and
clear, which are, to his pupil, mysteries tc
explain, as far AS possible, the fundamental
principles of rules laid down in the different
works that treat of Reading, Writing, Arith
metc and Grammar.
In Geography, the candidate is examined
not ascertain his power to explain the the,
ory of the Earth's motions, the change o.
seassns and the cause, the situation of the
different lines and circles and their uses, the
general outlines and principal divisions dc.
but to see simply, how we'll he has remem
bered his first lessons. He is questioned a
bout the length Of rivers, hight of mountains
situations Of places concerning their lai .ude
and longitude, and their populations, which
are changing continually, as though no one
could be a successful teacher, unless he re-
membered all these technicaities,
Examiners should, by all means, ascertain
as far as possible, each candidates power
and command of language. The duty of the
teacher, is to govern, and make that clear
which is to the youthful mind, heIogged and
hard to solve; not to teach what the pupils
themselves, can easily discern.
How often do hear the complaint. tha
certain teachers know enough, yet are no
gifted in the art of making plain the many
things to be found in those studies in which
are rules involving certain principles and of
tentimes pupils, for want of enlightment, be
come discouraged and give up study
Quite often is this seen In cases of new beg

They say, "We cannot understand it, nor SEE

There is sublime grandeur, divine sublim'

Bible is gem containing pearls of untold val

house ofhopo looming up through LIES tenn

forth in its mild teaching balm for the weary
soul. The sacred rays o; Love, Peace, Thrutn

Page. The weary, and heavy laden of all
classes and condi ion, seek here the console
