Losing Situations.

1t is bad business, this of losing stu
ations. 1t is bad sign, too; for it is
presumptive proof that the loser does
not deserve the situation he fails to re-
tain. 1t may not be on account of i'm
morality, or drunkenness, or dishonesty /;
these are the giant vices that condemn
their victim in all places and circum-
stances The young man that is dishon-
est or addicted to intemperance and Ii
centiOusness, need not expect to be trust
ed with business of others; it is wonder
that he should get place-much more
that he should keep it. But the severe
eXactions of business in these times re-
quire something else Of man than ex-
emptiOn from faults and vices they
demand positive virtues and aptitudes.
A young man may possess exemplary
morals; he may have no bad habits he
NAV tlatter himself that he possesses a
good education, he writes a good hand,
that he is quick at figures, a mathemati-
clan, linguist and a scholar. All this
IS well. but it is not enough these ac-
cOmDlishments are graces that adOrn
character, and give satisfaction to the
pOssess0r, but they do not mean business.
Situations demand not merely the at
sence of bad habits; they exact good
habits-such as diligence. industry,
cheerful willingness to work without
measuring the allotted task, = vigilant
watchfulness over the employers inter
est-the practice of doing things thor
oughly and effectiYely-promptness and
reliability. All these may be possessed
by those Of ordinary ability and indiffer-
ent education; but they viii cntitle such
a man TO hold his position, and to rise
higher in his employers favor. while a
young man of superior talents, education
and accomplishments, will lose one pO-
sitiOL after another. 1t is a pitible sight
to see a man of business, and without
means, appealing to personal friends to
get place. He deserves sympathy and
aid, and his friends should not fail to en-
courage and assist him. But there are
too many young men seeking clerkships
and agencies, who want, not the situa-
ton, but the salary: they want to do as
little work and as much money as posi-
bic. They perform their duties, but de
cline to perform more than their duties
they are languid listless, and Indifferent,
and take no active interest in the for
tunes of their employer, nor take pains
to win his favor. They are men who
lose situations without exactly knowing
why. If man, young or old, would
retain his position, let him make himself
indispensable to his employer. The task
is not a difficult one, and will be worth
more than he imagines.

state Teachers, Association.

The twenty-third annual meeting of
the vermont State Teachers Associa-
ton" will be held in Rutland, Thursday
and Friday, January Both and 31st, 1878
A glance at the programme, given be-
low, will show that some of the best in
structOrs of the State are engaged to dis
cuss some of the leading and more i'm
portant educational questions of the day.
These meetings have been and still are
a power in the State, not only in the in
struction given to younger and less cx-
perienced teachers, but also in moulding
and directing the public mind in matters
pertaining to general education. The
coming one can hardly fail in point of
interest, as, we think, the programme
will show
1. What are the objects of Recita-
tion and how best attained?
2. How much shall be taught under
the head of Geography, and how?
B. Is the Town System of schools
practical III Vermont
4. Shall Vermont sustain an educa-
tional journal?
5. Compulsory attendance at school
6. Music in schools.
7. The discipline of the classics as
compared with the sciences.
8. The relations of the Normal schools
to the State.
8. Is the Participle 4 mode of the
verb?
10. 4 paper, Latin Orthoepy," Prof.
Albee, Middlebury College.
In addition to the ,above addresses are
to be given by such men as Rev. J. G.
w. Cox of Conference Seminary; Prof.
Green of Brown University, Prof. Good
rich of Vermont University, Prof Brain
ard of Middlebury College, Dr.. French.
Secretary of the Board of Education,
Question Drawer, etc.
Let the teachers of Vermont come up
to their annual gathering prepared for
such a discussion of topics presented as
will make the meeting one of power and
interest.
