for he benefit of many inquirers.

THERE are many persons who were
not designed by Nature for school
work. Good farmers and housekeep-
ers are spoiled to make very poor
teachers. Why not leave an occupa-
ton at once if you feel you cannot
succeed in it, and thus serve your
country and yourselfl Nineteen
twentieths of those who try mercantile
pursuits, meet failure. In teaching
the fraction who succeed is greater
it may be. But to take school after
school when you never feel equal to
the occasion, is folly. Accept the
verdict of your patrons, that you have
mistaken your calling, and do not ask
for another school or certificate if you
have repeatedly failed.
