One hundred and fifty persons were reported
lost at first on the Pacific; it is now stated
that three hundred persisted. Fifty persons
were at first said to have been killed by the
explosion on the Mosel; the cable now an
nounces that nearly one hundred were sent to
their long home. There Is something mysteri-
Gus about this great inaccuracy, and it will
not be solved until private interests are made
to subserve the public veal.

I No parent has the wide-reaching
knowledge of Inherited and social ten
denotes which the teacher possesses.
Teachers should teach how certain in
Engagements of natural laws affect the
intellect and the will.
Men come to knowledge of some
things too late. Men are strong but
not plastic; children and youth are
plastic but not strong. Most of the
older pupils in our schools are neither
too Young nor too old to understand
the laws of their own wcll-heing.
Yet knowledge is not enough. Soc
rates thought that for men to know
would be for them to he virtuouS.
| This, alas, is by no means true. Still
vagueness of motive on many subjects
leads to perniciouS habits. where intel
| ligcmce would lead to the avoidance of
them. The teacher must show pupils
how to establish good habits and root
out bad ones; must help him to the
former and hinder him from the latter.
He must enlist the pupil To act for him
self and act rightly. to he right aS well
us act rightly.
What is the habit of right action I?
Right action is acting from the highest
motive in the case. The teacher must
impel to action from this highest mo-
tive. .Judicious appeal 10 motives are
rtfectual tor securing good order.
Fear of corporal punishment has in
our schools given place to emulation.
This is much relied on But is this the
.-higheSt motive! Certainly not the
most viItuous. 1t may hc used. but
not to" much. only guarirdiy. The
appeal /" his >rm>r of right. his con
science. tn" highest good ii his fellows,
the fear of God, are HIGHER. Let the
teacher himself he night. lie cannot
long seem 10 hr otherwise than he j.

state having local editor Several
teachers from different parts of the
state followed Mr.. Bicknell. all warmly
commenting the enterprise and the
issue at it in the establishing of one
strong. well-conducted and amply sus-
tanned educational organ. No formal
resolutions were adopted. but good
number OF subscriptions were made on
the spot. and it was evident that there
Is but one opinion in Vermont in regard
to the need and the wisdom of this
movement.
Miss l.. \. Reese of Burlington read ii
paper on the OSwcgo Normal school
system. She identified il with the
system of PeStalozzi in general. but did
not bring ont very fully the particular
kind of training to which the pupils in
the Oswego schools are subjected.
There is a wide difference of opinion
among teachers concerning two promi-
nent features OF the system of inStruc-
ton ana training pursued at that
school - first. the entire diSrsc of text
books 10y the pupils. and secondly. the
extreme to which, il is alleged. object
teaching is carried in the instruction OF
the Young. We had hoped to hear eli
thcr Il defense or Il discriminating cIiti-
ci>m. of the routine work in that school
and the methods therein inculcated.)

The third week OF the Beccher
trial is over. ana Moulton has not con-
cludcd his testimony. 1t is said that
the case tor the prosecution will take
about six weeks to get through. and
the case for the defence. with Spccche>
of counsel. tine summing up of the
Judge. and other business. will proba-
bly, occupy six or eight weeks more. An
enormous number of questions have
been pat to Moultnn, all of which. we
presume. are important, although to
the lay mind they seem very loose and
liscurSive in their character.

hence fair and Just to ali : the latter
unequal. and hence unjust. The latter
often we've :" managed a. to afford no
sufficiently thorough test OF the pI"fi-

at Il uniform and fixed standard. The

with til" other there was relief from
embarrassment and annoyance of quiz
zical examiners. But the point in this
ESSAY which elected the most interest
was the argument for the entire >epa-
ration of the examination. the object of
which was solely to test the advance
mcnt of the pupil. from everything
pertaining to the character of an ex-
hihition. Exhibitions should be held.
but as distinct exercises. We hope to
see this paper printed in full. 1t is
worthy of il larger audience than the
dissertation afforded.
