cannot conceal the fact, to my own
mind at least, that [ have failed to
accomplish much that I desired. I
must say, however, that in my short
stay with you, I have come to take
deeper interest in this school than I
deemed possible at the commence
ment of the term: And this token
shows me conclusively that the inter
est has been reciprocated.
You know [ have sometimes said,
when visitors have spoken in compli-
mentary terms of our school, that "a
kind and grateful word from the
smallest Of my pupils, is to me Of far
greater value than all the praises
and concentrations, we can receive
from other sources;' and when such
treasure as this, wreathed and
crowned with the sentiments and kind
feelings that must have prompted the
gift, comes to me from my sohoze
school, you can but family imagine
what the feelings are with which |
receive it. You can hardly think
how, in the future, it will awaken
memories Of the ''many happy hours"
spent with you, and how the asso-
iations of this winter will be treas
ured up in my heart. You cannot
know how l will prize tall the
way down through the days and
years, if it SO please God, that in
tervene between this and the final
meeting on the banks of the 'beauti-
full river you have mentioned.
Again, l thank you. tits the
least, and the most, and all that I
can say"
There was much feeling manifest
ed by all parties concerned, and the
occasion is one long to be remember
ed by them. The exercises closed
very appropriately by singing "The

''Man is an initiative animal. This quality
is the germ of all education in him. From his
cradle to his grave he is learning to do as
others do."-Thonaus Jefferson.
To the sentiment in the above ex-
tract from the writings of Mr.. Jefer-
son, we wish to call the attention Of
School District Officers, and of others
whose duty it is to provide public
schools with teachers, or the young
with instruction. If it be true
and no man will deny it-that man
is an initiative animal, instinctively
inclined to do as others do, how i'm
portant that those examples which
children are most likely to follow,
should be worthy patterns. Noper-
son, however talented or worthy
should be employed as an instructor
Of the young, whose eccentricities,
rude or affected manner, foppish o,
sloveuly habits, petulant or hasty
temper, or vicious indulgences, a par
ent would be unwilling his children
should initiate. Every teacher should
be a kind, amiable, selfpossessed
person, of good habits, of correct, af-
fable, yet not formal nor affected man
ners, clearly in dress and person,
and free from all the lesser vices. Too
little, altogether too little considera-
ton is given to these important quail
tiles, which should belong to every
teacher. It should be remembered
that whileSa teacher is instructing a
child to read, to write, to cipher, he
may at the same time, teach him traits
Of character, or habits Of department
which will injuriously affect him
through the whole of his subsequent
life; for these little things If they
may be so called, have much to do
with our success and happiness in this
world, though they may not, perhaps,
affect our welfare hereafter.
Are not the qualities then which
we have mentioned, among the most
important qualifications of a good
teacher, and should they not all be
possessed by those to whom the in
struction Of the young is intrust-
ed?

Presentation.

At the closing exercises of the
school in Dist. No. 1. Pleasant
Prairie, which occurred at the Unior
Church on Friday evening March
18th, Mr.. Hosea Barns, the teach
er, was surprised by the presentation
on the part of his pupils, of a large
and elegant copyof the Bible, which
had been purchased by them at an
expense of eighteen dollars.
The presentation address was made
by Niss Laura Fields in the follow
ing words:
81 have been requested, by my
school-mates, to make few farewell
remarks to you-our Teacher.
In their behalf [ tender you our
heartfelt thanks for the good instruc-
ton and kind advice, which you
have from time to time given us.
Failing in words sufficiently to
express our thanks, and as slight
memento of our affectionate regard
for you, we have selected from the
many tokens of friendship, the Fam
lily Bible knowing that you would
appreciate the truths contained there
in, and we now present it to you.
In taking leave of you, we would
request that while far away, engaged
in other pursuits, youwill not forget
the little band assembled here, MOI
the many happy hours we spent to.
gether when you were with us-oul
Teacher and our Friend.
And should we meet no more or
this side of the dark valley, may
we all meet on the other side, and
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God"
In reply to this address, Mr.
Barns's words were something as fol
lows:
''To all those who have taken al
interest in this presentation, I wisE
to return my thanks. This is in
deed a surprise in more respects thar
one, and I cannot but feel it to bt
wholly unmerited. In response tc
che kind words accompanying this
