Suggestions to Young Teachers.
ny JAMES MoSrIFru

Make weekly or bi.weeky inspection Of all
books held by the pupils, holding each res.
ponsible for the right use Of the same Thi.
will prevent much mutilation and destruction
Of books.
1t is not well for teachers to group together
while the school is in session. This should
be well observed during recess for the pu.
pills having then greater scope it is important
that the attention Of the teacher should be
distributed. Hence, the impropriety of read.
ing newspapers, pamphlets, or such like, at any
time during school-hours. A faithful teacher
finds no time for such employment.
Teachers should not allow anything but i'm
possibilities to prevent their attendance at any
school for when teacher is absent, not only
his class suffers, but the whole department is
more or less embarrassed. Each teacher
should arrive in time in the morning to re.
ceiye his class before the opening of the
school.
In case of irreguarity in attendance, OF
delinquency in lessons on the part of the pu.
pill, it is well to communicate with the pa.
rents, either by letter or interview, soliciting
their cooperation and interest but never
should a teacher require the aid of parent
in maintaining order in the class. That is
the duty Of the teacher alone. A teacher
who is unable to preserve order in his class.
room, is unquestonably incompetent to gov.
ern his class.
The hearing Of lessons should not occupy
more than one hour and half daily the re-
maindcr of the day to be devoted to actual
teaching, when the lessons for the following
day may be explained by the teacher. In
grammar schools, answering in concert should
be abolished.
Whenever practicable, teach by means oi
objects or through the medium of the eye
in geography, use globes and maps in as
tronomy, use orrery globes and diagrams in
spelling, frequently require the pupils to write
the words or sentences given.
/ In directing the various movements requi.
red Of the scholar care should be taken never
to touch him. To call child, and at the
same time draw him toward you to com
mand him to go, and the next moment reach
these purposes not by words or signals, but
by taking hold of the pupils, is very COM
mon error in discipline.
A teacher taking charge Of new class
should, at first, advance it beyond the farthost
point it had previously attainedin each study
In case the teacher finds the new class def
cieut in what has been passed over, he should
not turn back until about two weeks hhv,
elapsed when all necessary reviews may bc
made, When class passes under the con.
troll of another teacher retrograde move
ment would produce discomfort in the class
At the same time, the teacher should avoid
allusion tending to disparage he course of his
predecessor in the estimation of the class

When wee baby Charlie came to me, the
little pink and white flower, his grand mother
opened her arms to him as though he was
great blessing sent to her from heaven. He
touched her heart and filed It with Joys she

my own soul were opened, and life assumed
new realities aud new beauties, and q sweet
song Of gladnoss broke from my lips and
flooded my soul.

feet annointed, and the glory of the stars

From the time that mother was attacked
with sickness in the night she seemed to fail
and to grow more and more lovely as she
gradually faded from earth. She would sit
for hours and play with the baby, and laugh
at his funny little ways, and think that he

A Beautiful Hope.

In President Eiot's Inaugural Address at
Harvard, he spoke of the founders of that
ancient University as being animated by " the
beautiful hope of doing good" The expression
strikes Is as singularly attractive and preg-
nant with meaning. What hope can be more
desirable in the heart than this of doing
good and of so doing good that the years Of
the future will rise up and call our actions
blessed And yet in how comparatively few
hearts does this hope find place, The major
ity of men live and die making no provision
for the future, whereby their names shall be
kept in remembrance when the places that
know them, shall know them no more for.

d" So you're going to marry John Wheeler,

with the old folks 2' said my uncle Peter, as
he came in suddenly one morning, long ago,
and found me buried in the pretty mysteries
Of lawns and laces, aud knots, and bows OF
ribbons, and the glow on my cheek as red as
the heart Of the sweetest rose in the wreath
on my white silk bonnet
" Yes, suppose so, said l, bending over

you like human being, I'll slip round into

uncle Peter Whitaker leaned back in his

law are natural enemies Now do you real
ly believe that there is a mother-in-law in
this world whose heart has not tender place
in it somewhere which may be found that
she may be touched tenderly, lovingly, if one
can only find the right key2"
"Well, don't know, sis. | am afraid
Granny Wheeler is an exception. When |
lived on the Downing farm, joining Wheeler s,

thought no one knew anything but herself
My wife couldn't get along with her, and you

forbearing | felt sometimes as though it
would be a real satisfaction to me to make

"Why that's energy, uncle Peter" said |,
beginning to feel that | must stand up for
