SCHOOL WORK.

1t frequently happens that teach
ers, as they estimate the work for
the day, or week, or term. ask
themselves: How am to do all
that is required of me: They look
upon the work in the aggregate.
and forget for the moment that
there is but one thing to he done
at Il time; and thus, begin their
work with lack of courage and
confidence which is essential to
success in any undertaking. If all
teachers would plan their work
beforehand-that is, if at the be
ginning of the term, they, would
determine upon arhat is to be done
and the order. in which it should
be done, the work would be set
about with definite notion. of
what the result should be. The
teacher should know from the first
day of the term how far his classes
are expected to advance, and when
reviews shall be made; what meth
cd will be applied for the develop
ment of this principle or the illus
tration OF that fact, and how long.
1t ought to take class to acquire
this or that amount of knowIcdge.
BY doing this, each day will have
its special work, and every advance
will be the result Of Intelligent
foresight, not of accident. Of
course, no one can tell exactly
what will be done upon every day
of a term by any previous plan
ming, however we'll it may be ex-
ecuted, for the reason that classes
will always vary in ability to do;
but the qualified teacher can
approximate SO nearly to the re
suits ultimately attained, that the
discrepancy will not at all discon-
cert his arrangements.
As it is with the TERMS work,
so ought it to be with each days
work, The teacher should know
1t night what he is to do to-mor
row; and if this is done, the NOR
rows work will be well done.

AN INQUIRY.

W c would like to know from the
County superintendent of the
State if it is fact that the district
schools of the State are at so low
a standard OF advancement that it
will be ten years before they will
need thoroughly trained teachers:
We have been for some months
past advocating q higher course of
study and professional training for
those who are fitting themselves
for the work of teaching, and we
have been constantly met by the
objection, that the schools OF the
State only require, and for the
time above mentioned will not re-
quire, teachers of more than rudi-
mentary attachments.
We should like also to ask, if
the schools would not he the bet
ter for teachers little in advance
of the immediate requirements?
We are ioath to believe that there
can he no demand in this State for
teachers of district schools, whose
education, beginning ut a very
rudimentary stage, has required
but two years of very moderate
application to complete. Will not
some of those who are intimately
acquainted with the conditions of
the schools give us light:
The State Normal School of
Michigan graduates this. year fifty
students who have completed the
full academic and professional
course. This number does not in
clude any of those who have, dur
ing the year, completed the two
gears, or Training course. This
large number of graduates speaks
well for the efficiency of the school,
and well will these trained teach
ers repay the State for the expense
she has incurred in educating them.
Indeed Michigan owes the excel
ience of her common schools to
the high qualifications of her Phi
mary teachers, and these have had
their standard fixed for them by
the Normal School. Her Normal
School stands at the head Of her
common schools, as tie recognized
teacher of their teachers; and in
order to train these teachers, every
appliance is brought to bear that
will develop every intellectual
power, but more particular atten-
ton is given TO the professional
portion of the work.
1t has been the policy of those
who have controlled this school To
send ont teachers as good rs
could he made, and the valuable
results of such a policy have been
incalculable.

FOREIGN CRITICs.-The enemies
of republicanism in the old world
are shocked at the corruption in
America. They congratulate them
serves that they are not rs we are.
But how much holier than Amer
leans would these exalted foreign
ers appear if they were submitted
to the same microscopical examin-
alton that our people are? Let
our laws concerning the freedom
of the press, and the press also,
be transplanted to the other side
of the water, and in twelve months
there would be revelations of cor
ruption and immortality that would
make the cheeks of our self. right
eous accusers tingle. The partial
revelations of Dickens, who wrote
Of some OF the abuses in England,
shocked the world. But there
were darker scenes of misery: there
was corruption, hypocrisy, and
baseness that even genius could
not make attractive, by any web
of incidents. We do not claim
that Americans are without sin,
but we object to the high toned
way in which we are dismissed to
perdition by our cousins across
the water. We think that Re-
publicanism is good thing; that
it has been a success; that there
is more happiness and as little
corruption here as In any country
on this foot-stool, and furthermore,
if our press could have the same
chance to pry into the affairs of
other people as they have into our
own affairs, they would soon take
the conceit out of our foreign
critics.

EAsE-IIow common is the an

at first be slight, producing a little
palpitation or irregular action, yet
by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and Inflammation,

is produced. How wise to give
early attention to case of this
