Of delinquency and disorder, and closed by
introducing, Mr, n Daboll as onr new teacher.
He then gave the school into This, charge,
and the 1.-TWO trustees withdrew. ..".I 81
/ Daboii'was pleasant looking man., and
seemed to be at home almost from the first
lie listened to all that was said, looked
very sober during the lecture' and seemed
! to feel quite easy WEen # was done.f. Then
politely Lowipg the trustees ouc ofthe school
he waited a little to. see that they were we'll
out Of the way, and returned to the desk.
Boys! said he, in a kind and familiar
tone Of voice. >,...,,:>.., f,,-:I.,:. ,.F.< |
It.was the first word he had said to ! US.
Every eye was fixed on him in moment.
Every ear was quick to catch really
friendly sound, from. the teacher. A pin
could be. heard dropping on the floor /
Boys ! said he, 4, am glad to see you
all looking so we'll, and in such exec lent
order and attention, am TO be your teach
er for a time, and I hope we shall, be good
friends, and find the school, a pleasant place
Your friend: Mr.. Wiseman has Just given
you some good advice, and as it is kind Of,
rare occasion to have a new teacher come in.
and the time is already pretty we'll along, I
think We may as we'll have little talk to
gelher before we begin to work, boys
Everything around US works in some way
or other. The bees at the flowers are stor-
ing up their golden honey for thc winter
The hill-ants are At work at the school
door. The birds arc. doing the will of, the
Creator in akins music over our heads in
the trees. The sunbeam is silently draw
ing up vapors from the earth and the rivers
to form clouds to bring the rain, which
makes the earth itself labor in bringing
forth grass, and flowers, and fruit trees for
our happiness and enjoyment. 1t is right
to work, boys, and hope you and will do
all our work WE'LL tf5aS' %..'.>. f'.' S.dt
You can easily imagine that al! our eyes
opened wide, and that We could hardly be-
lieve our ears, to hear such an address from
our new teacher: He had taken the citadel
at the beginning. The boys all said they
had never felt before TO- any teacher as thsy
did to Mr.. Datol when he spoke to them
in that way. But 10 go on. .,,.s.
Now boys said he, I shall read some
thing to YOU and taking book out of his
pocket, he opened it and commenced read
ing veryinseresting story, which only ad.
ded new wonder! and admiration IN the
the part OF the boys After he had read
two or three pages, and had secured our
close attention he stopped short, and said !:
| BY the way, boys, there are two or three
things h ought tos TO- you, and I will
