The Ksest Teacher.
rFrcm the Journal of Education.l

From the JourH2i OF EuncaIioh1
The best teacer teaches self>determi-
uation-the direction of ones own
practical endcavor-this should be the
object aimed at in our schools, not
only in the theoretical spheres, but in
the sphere of the Will. He is not
counted a good teacher who fogs his
pupils into good behavior; for all
know that good behavior upon con.
straint Is not permanent. The " form
of Eternity" is self>related one. The
teacher who elevates his pupils to
feeling of their owe responsibility is the
one that all value. Under him, pupils
feel that it is disgrace to allow anyoae
to govern them except themselves, and
accordingly they take the matter into
their own hands, and become free by
acting like freemen. This feeling of
responsibility is SO remarkably devel-
oped ia our popn alton, that it attracts
the FIRST attention of foreigners who visit
our shores. It is observable that chill
dren, even 10 their earliest infancy, do
not rest in that perfect security which
comes from implicit trust in outside
protection. The necessity for self-help
makes its way into the consciousness of
the cnild before it can fairly walk
alone.
The immense weight of responsibility
which oppresses the individual causes
this influence to descend hereditarily to
the children Indeed. an edict has gone
forth to the New World in our Declar-
alton Of Independence "Woe unto
that head which cannot govern its pair
of hands" Unto the lower races who
fail in this, it reads the sentence elf
you cannot direct your own hands by
your own Intelligence, you only encum-
Der the grouad here, and can remain by
suFeranee in this place only SO long as
land ia cheap. You must move back
into the wilderness, like the Indian, or
else absorb our culture and become in
tellectually productive, or else-die
.oat." This is the Judgment pronounced
by the Anglo Saxon upon the lower
races. 1t seems cruel-nay, the cruel
est edict ever proclaimed by civilized
race. 1t is not the way of the Spaniard
the Frenchman can get along with infe-
rior races the Spaniard can actually
sningle with lower races and lose his
identity But the rale with the Anglo
Saxon ia otherwise. lie does not es
feem mere life-animal life as such
worth preserving. 1t is only intellectual
--vational--life that is sacred. But witt
this cruel alternative he offers to thu
lower race the highest boon as reward
for his efforts In self culture--he offer
him free participation in the freest AM
highest civil community.
Thus it is that the period of schoo
education ia SO much more importan
in America than elsewhere. As sim

STYLE IN WRITING.

| Style, according to my observation,
cannot be taught, and can hardly be
acquired. Any person Of moderate
ability may, by study and practice,
learn to use language according to its
grammar. But such use of language,
although necessary to good style, has
no more direct relation to it than her
daily dinner has to the blush of
blooming beauty. Without dinner, no
bloom. without grammar, no style.
The same Wand which one young wo-
man, digesting it healthily and sleeping
upon it soundly, is able to present to us
again in but very unattractive form,
Gloriana, assimilating it not more per-
tectly. in slumbers no sounder, trans
mutes into charms that make her de-
light to the eyes of every beholder
That proceeding is Gloriana's physio>
logical style. 1t is a sift to her. Such
gift is style in the use of language 1t
is mere clearness OF outline, beauty of
form aud expression, and has no rela>
ton whatever to the soundness or the
value of the thought which it embodies,
or to the Importance or the interest Of
the fact which it records Learned men,
strong aud snbtle thinkers and scholar,
of wide and critical acquaintance with
literature, are often unable to acquire
even an accep,ibly good, not to say an
admirable style; aud, on the other
hand, men who can read only their own
language. and who have received very
little instruction even In that, write
and speak in u style that wins or com
mands attention, and in itself gives
pleasure. OF these men, John Bunyan
is, perhaps, the most marked example
Better Euglisa there could hardly be,
or style more admirable for every ex-
cel'ence. than appears throughout the
writings of that tinker. No person who
has read TIE Pilgrims Progress can
have forgotten the fight with Christian
aud Apolyon, which, for viyidness of
description and dramatic interest, puts
10 shame all the combats between
knights and giants. and men and drag
ons, that can be found elsewhere in ro-
nance or poetry. There are probably
many who do not remember, aud not a
few perhaps who, in the very enjoy
ment Of it, did not notice the clearness,
The spirit, the strength, and the simple
beauty of the style in which that pas
sage is written For example, take the
sentence which tells of the beginning OF
the fight:
"Then Apollyon straddlcd quite over
the whole breadth of the way, and said,
| am void OF fear in this matter pre-
pare thyself to die; for | swear By my
Internal Den that thou shalt 20 no fur
ther: here | will spill thy soul
A man cannot be taught to write like
that nor can he by any study learn
the mystery of such style

The Chlef Justice said:-In the opinion OF the
Court IL was iittie use to go any further He would
not call on the counsel for the defence to say any
thing, for no sensible man would look at that case
and not be satisfied. The Court was OF opinion that
the defendant did not commit the alleged forgery.
NO man In his senses could, after the evidence that

THE ALLEGATION
