EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
Fussing In School.

In an address to the young ladies of
the Cincinnati Normal School, Mr.. A.
D. Mays said:
''To talk well and wisely, is a great
power, and many people greatly influ-
ence society by their power of ex-
preston. But the teacher who can
preserve a manner at once affection
ate, powerful and dignifed, and is eco
nomical of speech, enters the school
room with a prodigious advantage
Nothing amuses a mischievous crowd
of children like a teacher who flies
about like q restless hen protecting
her brood, with ruffled feathers, cluck-
ing her displeas ure. and filling the
house with a never -ceasing cackle of
useless talk. They enjoy the specta-
Gle hugely, knowing she will in due
time F'run OUT and they be left to
their own pleasant devices. Our oral
system Of teaching, with all its advan-
tages, has this great temptation: that
it offers the opportunity for one of
these loquacious teachers to food her
audience with a thin decoction of
learning, seasoned with the pepper
and salt of reproof and moral precept
Avoid too much speech and a rest
less manner as the worst foes of tru e
success Cultivate pleasant dignity
and grace, method of speaking plain,
direct but decisive, and as brief as you
can handle. This will surely come
with ripening culture and experience,
and it is one of the most decided
tokens of power in the teacher. There
are some people so electric with life
that they swey all souls by their pres
ence; wherever they go a virtue seems
to pass out of them and dependent
souls turn 20 them as the flower turns
to. the sun. A school-Louse where
the rattan is perpetually switching chill
dren-used to punish the dull, to sup
press the mischievous, is nursery of
criminals. Keep your rattan out OF
sight; never strike a blow till every
other method fails, and then let your
punishment be so just that the public
opinion of your room stands behind
you, and the offender feels he is chas
tised by the class through you"

"Supper time came. 1 had some
thing that l knew John liked, and was
waiting for him with a nervous eager

him a little from the house, but not
in the direction from which he usually
came. He was walking slowly, with
his eyes on the ground. His whole
manner was that of one depressed or
suffering. 1 dropped the curtain and
went back into our breakfast room to
see that supper was put quickly on
the table. John came in, and went
up stairs as he usually did, to change
his coat for tea. In a few minutes
rang the tea bell, and then seated my
self at the table to wait for him. He
was longer than usual in making him
self ready, and then | heard him com

there were no spirit in him.
''My heart beat strongly, but tried

stood still just moment, with his

Behind the Times.

An Immense amount of treasure is
paid. out by our noble State for educa-
tional purposes. Perhaps no State in
the Union according to ability, ex-
pends more money every year for
school houses and teaching. And yet
it is melancholy fact that a large ma
jority of our teachers are educated for
their work by their pupils and at the
pupils expense.
There ought to be at least zen State
Normal Schools for the education of
teachers. And permanent Normal
Faculty should be employed to go
from county to county and give in
struction in teachers institutes. The
intrinsic Importance of our profession
is not recognized, and cannot be until
Ohio arouses herself to the work ol
providing teachers who shall be worthy
the high calling to which they arr
chosen. There is much to do in tn,
next ten years.

Huxley on Schools.

A position on the School Board of
London is one most eagerly sought
for by English Statesmen BY a re-
cent election, Prof. Huxley. of scien-
tifc renown, has been elected to that
honorable post, and a scheme of edu-
cation has been handed in and agreed
upon by that body.
According to this scheme of general
education, there are to be three classes
of schools:
First. Infant classes for children
under seven, in which the boys and
girls are taught in the same room.
Second. Junior schools for children
between seven and ten, in which the
boys and girls should be taught sepa.
rately or together, as seems desirable
in each locality.
Third. Senior schools for children
between ten and thirteen or upwards
in which the boys and girls must b.
taught separately.
The Junior and Senior schools are
to be organized as far as possible oil
the large scale for schools of 5Ot
each, but the infant schools are not t.
exceed $50 or 800 at the most T
each school of 500, sixteen teacher
are to be allotted: one head, four Gel
titled assistant teachers, and eleve
pupil teachers. The schools are to b
open generally five hours daily, an,
five days in the week Whipping i:

it is never to be inflicted by the pup
teachers, and never at all by any on

G drill, are to be taught in every schoo

While IreighbOring cities and States

most unprecedented affections, and
have been subjected to appalling dis
asters, a kind providence has dealt
gently with us, and has crowned our
lives with prosperity.
Gratefully remembering all our man.

ter upon the discharge of new duties
in the position assigned me. If, at
the end of my official term, 1 shall be
permitted to return to private life,
bearing with me the respect and good
will Of the men Of all parties and con.
ditions, in the measure enjoyed by the
distinguished gentlemen who to day
bids you officially farewell, | shall be
fortunate indeed.
At the close of the address the oath
of office was administered by Chief
Justice Day.
After music by the band, the Joint
Committee escorted the Governor to
his rooms in the Capt. oil, and the Sen
ate and House of Representatives re-
turned to the Senate Chamber, where
the oath of office was administered to
the Lieutenant Governor elect by one
of the Judges of the Supreme Court.
Upon taking his seat Lieutenant
Governor Mueller said Senators,
I naturally feel embarrassed upon as
suming for the first time the duties of
the very honorable position to which
l have been elected by the people of
Ohio. That I may be found lacking in
the requirments Of the position of pre-
siding officer, which has been for four
years so ably filled by the gentlemen
preceding me. But, relying upon that
courtesy and generous indulgence
which is characteristic of the American
people, and for the exercise of which
this chamber has always been distin-
guished, hope to overcome the diff
culties of the position by careful at
tention to its duties. In assisting you
in the labor of legislation my errors
shall be errors only of the head, which
it will be your prero9ative to correct,
as you have the power of revising my
rulings and decisions.
l shall zealously endeavor to dis
charge the duties of the chair impair

with scrupulous regard for the rights

governed by my own judgement, and
shall be influenced by no other motives
than to follow out the direction of my
own conscience.

sibility resting upon legislative bodies,

should remain intact for two or three days and
