in your future relations with your young
pupils, you will be careful to remember
that your functions must not be confined
merely to the developement of their in
tclligehce and the inparting of infor-
nation, but there is also another duty
as important as either of these, aud that,
is that you should eudcav or to refine, dis
cipline, aud elevate their general behav-
ior, rendering them polite, well-bred,
delerertial, respectful To their parents,
totheir elders, and their superiors Now
what would venture TO ask you from
time to time, to impress upon your pit
pills is this--that though upon the one
hand there is no quality more creditable
han selt-respect. yet, on the other hand
the very idea OF self-resprct excludes
Seit-asserti"n, and i say it the more read
lily becausol confess, il there is any crit
lcls'n which j havepassed upon the youth
of this new country---I do not say of
Canada especially, but If the continent
OF America--it is that have been struck
by the absence of the Difference and re-
spect 10. those wl.o are older than them

of Canada will do their very best to in
calculate into their pupils the duties of
politeness, of refined behavior, Of respect
for the old, aud of reverence for their pa

that it they only take little trouble
