services were largely sought by teach
ers for instructions in the art of teacl-

an instructor he is acknowledged to
have but few superiors. AS teacher
and superintendent, We believe he has
given almost universal satisfaction
The only eroakers being a very few,
who believe in rigid discipline-a kind
of straight jacket system, that reduces
the pupils TO mere machines moved
like chess upon the board by the teach
ers, and often with about as little
thought on the part of the pupil as to
the subject matter of study as is exer-
cised by the inanimate chess in the
players hand.
We have had some little experience
in teaching and believe that it is diff
cult to advance all classes of scholars
under what is called close discipline
Some will make fine showing at COM
mencement under almost any kind of
but it is the average ad-
vance of tie school, possibly the lead
ing onward of the dull and shiftless
scholars, that marks the skill of the
teacher.
Besides these considerations, out of
the school room, as monitor and coun-
selor in the literary and other societies
where pnpils congregated as well as in
the private walks of life, your late
did much to mould the
moral and intellectual being of our
young people. May you be equally
fortunate in the selection of person
for this very responsible trust.
