FAILURES.

| It is sometimes asked ''why so many teachers
fall" Probably no single cause can be given for
the failure of all teaches, since that viii would
embarrass one would only serve to encourage ana
animate another. But many times that is not
failure which we prone to call so, in the cas-
of our fellow-teachers. Failu reis not dong one
part aUell-is proving incompetent to the task
assumed. It is not simply the coming short OF
! giving satisfaction. 1t may be considered cred
liable to fail IN this sense ia some schools
Good teachers are not wanted in some schools,
and will not be allowed to remain there more
| than few weeks.
But failure is the result of incompetency when
circumstances are favorable. 1t follows, there
| fore, that the circumstances should be favorable
! in order TO insure success. and teacher who IL
not wholly ind ifferent to what tAe worlds call
failure should allow himself 10 attempt to teach
under unfavorable circumstances. The teacher
should not attempt to do what he knows he can
not, and it il better to decline any school which
he Is not sure he can teach successfully than 10
hazard his reputation on the mere chance OF
success If all teachers would do this, there
would be no failures 10 account for, and the ques
ton, ''why do teachers fall need not be asked
But how can a teacher tell whether he will
succeed or fail until he tries? The first effort
must be made and success or failure must ensue.
| If the teacher has been we'll taught--has had an
experience as p1pl in successful school-he
will be apt to succeed, If he has the elements
of success in him. If he has not the elements of
success IN him, he is sure to fail, and we need
notseek further for the reason. Ignorance, a lack
Of culture, or lack of capacity should first be
provided against. One cannot expect to succeed
who does not know the difference between success
and failure.
There are certain things necessary to success as
teacher; among these may be counted education
and desire to improve. If the teacher does not
possess these, their lack may be counted a
cause OF failure. One cannot expect to succeed
as teacher unless he knows more than his
pupils, and has better jud gmept than they have'
and knOtUs this to be the case. Confidence in
ones selfis quite necessary to success in any
undertaking.
But snppose the teacher is educated, conscien- /
tious, and selfconfdent what then will cause
failure? Sometimes teachers failure is owing /
to his Impotence. A week seems like month
and the difficulties met with in week seem like
impossible obstacles to success; the teacher
grows impatient and loses confidence in himself
or his pupils; his hope leaves him, and he fails.

The Use of Certain Studies.

eve are often asked why certain stndies are
Taught in our schools? Why pupils are compell-
ed to learn anything more than the simple rules
n arithmetic? Why they perplexed with the
study of algebra, geometry and other mathematl-
cal studies? Why study anything that is not
strictly practical? We might as well be asked
why children should be taught to think at all ?
Why should not the only aim be to make them
dexterous manual oper ators. and expert calculat-
ing machines? Why should they be taught TO
reason, to enlarge TO compare, to form accurate
judgments of any kind ? Why not leave all the
faculties OF the mind but the memory undevel
oped
Great practical results are not gained by fol
lowing bindly mechanical rules-by sklllful
use of the hands and other organs OF the body,
but BY the strength and power of controlling
mind, trained and disciplined to severe and accu-
rate thinking. Intelligence and skill must ne
combined in the accomplishment of every great
work OF art.
1t should ever be born in mind that simple
knowledge-that which ignores the higher and
nobler impulses of our nature-is not education
Facts and truths, however important they MAJ
appear, are only elements of mental growth. They
are comparatively valneless until they are
wrought into tie very texture and fibre Of thu
mind-transm1tted into the mental laboratory o
thought, into intellectual and moral strength ant
vigor.'' REV. DANIEL LEACH.

1t may be lack of dignity and frmness that
cause his failure, A teacher needs TO be Arm and

The trouble with these 9reenback gentlemen
is in this idea Of Creating money. Money
can not be created. 1t must be furnished by
Dame Nature as much as the lumber for our
houses or the flour for our bread. All that man
can do is to refine the crude material, and
thus to add to some extent to its value.-Wa-
seea Leader.
This means that the value Of money is
determined, like the value OF wheat or
lumber, by the cost of producing it.
This is Eallacy. Look atthe half dozen
men who own the great bonanza silver
mine and draw therefrom millions of
dollars income per month. Does the
Leader pretend that the value of that sill
yer is just what it costs to produce it? If
so O'Brien, Fair, &c. would earn about
$3.50 per day in fact they would earn
nothing; for they do not personally dig
the ore and refine it.
Money is not gold and silver. copper
or nickel it is the stamp which the gov
eminent affixes to the metal and thus
compels its subjects to accept it at a GER
tain value. Ii the Leader received a
thousand silver dollars from its subscri-
beers, and melted them down into a mass
it could not pay debt with it unless its
creditor was willing to accept it; and
then he would weigh it and pay 80 cents
per dollar, or $500 for what cost the
Leader 81 900.
