is for a company of rude school boys, to
pslt the poor cid goose, a passing pig, or
old brindlo as she quietly moves to her
grazing place. If these could speak, they
might tell many hard story on the ur-
chins Of more than one school. Now I
consider that it is tire teachers indispen-
sable duty to investigate al these outside
matters; to watch over their morals, their
manners, their health, their cIothing, their
books, and see that all these are properly
cared for, rig tly used, and not abused.
And if they either connot, or viii not
stoop so low, q call it raise 50 high, as
to attend to all these matters, they are un-
fitted for their vocation. Parents AID d.
roctors have also many duties to perform,
as well as the teacher. Amongst these
may be mentioned the important one of
visiting the schools, to cheer aud eneOur-I
age both the teacher and tie taugbt, at
least by our presence. Thus We may be
enabled to Ojudgo whether the teacher is
fitted in manner, in temper, in judgement,
in knowledge; and finally in his whole de-
meanor, to have the care of our children.
We should encourages every effort he
makes for their improvement; if needful
We should make suggestions, (not selfish /
narrow ones) to him privately; and may
even find it necessary to admonish him /
kindly for a derelietion of duty; but the
should never learn from US thatwe
consider him defective in any particu-
lar; for they should have entire confidence
in him, if we wish them to receive the
full benefit Of his instructions. But if
We dOknoW of his Obsolute unitness, there
IS a remedy; apply it. We should early
lpprise the teacher, of any peculiarly Of
mind or disposition, or Of an uncommon
physical weakness attendant on a child,
or if left to him to find these out, and
reat correctly, it may take some time, ]
nd cost the pupil unjust restriction and
ensure, greatly to the kind instructors
egret and our own displeasure. I think
here is a fault Of which we are all more
r less guilty. and that is the too fre- J
uent practice Of speaking disparaging- I
: Of the teacher in the presence Of the !
hildren, instead Of having the magma
unity and discretion to tell him kindly 0
his faults to his face. Iu conclusion U
will quote the following lines which t
retty nptly portray the general prac- 4
ice:
"Old men and women senadali5e his name;
The children, listening learn to dc the :
same.
Placed on point, the object Of each sneer, .
His faults enlarge, his merits disappear. u
II mild, our lazy teacher loves his ease, \
The boys at school doanything they please. u
If rigid, he's Q cold unfseling wrstehi q
He drives the children stupid With birch; tt
Ny child with gentle means would mind n
breath; a
But frOTns and aoggings frightsn him to el
death" ct
