IUvmLiunicated
Summary OF the Lecture

Deferred in The College Chopelby Rev. C..
TfnsIy, Jcfore Tie Teachers Institute,
Dec. 18th.
The work Of teacher is Of such vast
importance that all possible means should
be employed to qualify him thoroughly
for this noble calling.
The teacher should be student. That
young man who imagines that when he
has gone through the College curriculum
and graduated, he is educated, and there
is little more for him TO learn, is utterly
unfit for his work. lie is then but pre-.
pared to think and learn. That drill is
necessary to learn accurately and with
economy of mcntal force, all that may be
in subject. The true teacher must love
to acquire knowledge should hunger aud
thirst for mental and intellectual food.
lie is a student of books. He masters
book, digests tho thoughts of the author,
and stores them away for use. 1t is not
sufficient that a book be read it must be
mastered, deyoufed, digesied, and become
our own. No man can teach that which
is not clear to himself. The teacher should
never permit a word to pass without its
own definite and legitimate idea being i'm
pressed on bis mind.
The feacher should be a student Of ma
turc. God islever at work around U.S.
This world is the work of ages in its frame
work. His finger is seen in shaping the
flower, tinting, its leaves, and storing it
with perfume. His hand is seen in the
splendid sunset and when God is paint
ing such a scene, should opportunity offer,
let the teacher stop everything, and direct
the attention Of his pupils, with true taste
Yea, with enthusiasm to the sublime
picture drawn by Natures Artist. Thus
a taste for the beautiful may be implanted
and educated in the mind of the young
pupil. The lecturer drew n scene of his
boyhood, when ascending a mountain af-
fording gorgeous scenery to which his
attention was drawn by his father, and da-
ted his interest in such matters from that
impressive lesson.
Tho teacher should be student Of hu-
man uature-the dispositions aud tastes
Of his pupils. To learn most thoroughly
tho shades of mental aud moral structure,
he must sympathisc with them, love them.
The little tender, palpitating heart may
be crushed aud discouraged; let him come
down TO the level Of the little one, and
bring his heart with him, that he may
learn 10 appreciate and understand that
little one. lie may, by cruel and rude
treatment, blight tho fair intellect, or by
refined and heart culture, train minds and
hearts to beat ia sympathy with human.
ity, and whose stars may shine forth in
the intellectual armament.
The teacher should study himself, and
thus become acquainted with many phases
Of humanity never known otherwise; study

be able TO govern himself, before he can
successfully handle tho reins Of govern
ment in his school. Every word of yours
is noted and carefully laid away by the
youthful mind. Your very temper reflects
its sweetness or deformty from the bright

Semi-AnnuaI Examinations at BrookvilIe

Mr.. Editor,-Having had the pleasure
OF attending the Semi Annual Examina-

Grammar, Algcbf Geometry, Physiology
Philosophy, Latin and Greek; and al.
though the examination was somewhat
hurried, in view Of the number OF classes,
yet enough time was devoted to each to
determine the proficiency Of the students,
and to shey the manner In which they
had been taught, namely, 10 think.

rapidity with which many Of the students
solved by analysis some Of tho most diff.
