NOTES FROM LECTURES ON SCHOOL
TEACHING.

Foremost among the many requi-
sites Of success in a teacher, comes
that Of cheerfulness, which is a duty, |
as well as necessity it is a mental
stimulus and, assisted by hopefulness,
can accomplish almost anything. If,
however, hOpefulness seems almost
crushed, it will cost a great effort tot
be cheerful. So, keep up hope; have
faith that good object, if carefully
pushed forward, will come out all
right; then you can't help being cheer
full. If you find yourself in a diff
Guilty, fretting or worrying will not
settle it, but deliberation. In the|
same list of requisites are these "a
deep respect for the humanity, or man.
hood in pupil" "A reverence for
justice" and courage arising from a
thorough knowledge"
The last seems all important, since
there are so many incidental adyan-
tages arising from it. One Of the first
things that the teacher must gain is
the respect of the pupils, and nothing
tends to do this more than a thorough
knowledge, or, might say, a thorough
preparation; SO that there will be no
hesitation or pulling. Of course,
there are some pupils, who have little
or no respect for anything pertaining
to school; yet, if they find that they
can not puzzle or embarraSs you by
lnterruption,you have their admiration
at least. So make out a plan Of the
days work, in order that you may
know promptly what to do. There
will be less exhaustion, direct and in
direct; you will have better control Of
your school, and will soon see it's ill
fuence upon both patrons and school.
Also attach Importance to the as
signment of lessons; this Is not mere
ly telling the class in the last moment
how far to take; but it consists, prop
erly, in explaining to-morroW's lesson,
and getting the interest of the class
awakened in it.
We will never reach that point, at
which we can teach branch, or any
part of branch, the best way; for we
are always finding out something new,
some new interest. But always strive
80 give review of yesterdays lesson,
do something to recall it. If You
ask the question, in the same way as
yesterday, you will test their memo
ries; if you ask them in a different way,
you will test their understanding.
In making statements, have your
pupils tell things just as they are.
The natural tendency Of children, is to
exaggerate; or, at least to tell a fact,
not exactly as it is. They intend to
tell the truth, and they simply make a
misstatenent; this wrong statement
soon amounts to an exaggeration; this
leads to classifying innocently, and the
final effect is lying, or intentional
falsehood. -A A1t rs|
If we can habituate child to tell
things just as they are,we shall accom-
plish a great end; for thus we shall
avoid the first step to lying. @
The exact truth does not mean that
they confne themselves strictly to the
text, but to phrazing, that means
the same Do not let your pupils wan
der from the truth, in meaning, though
they may in letter. G..

SALEM STATION, Jan. s, 1877.

Mr.. EDIToR-DEAR SIR THE holi-
days are passed, and the only event
which makes them memorable at Salem
Station was the Christmas tree at the
Union Church, Dec. 25th. It was a
marvellous success The evening was
fine; the sleighing good; and the peo-
pie came in force from Salem, Brighton
Pleasant Prairie, Bristol, Antioch, and
all such country to ms around Genoa,
Chicago, and Kenosha we've we'll repre-

folks call those from town,WhC chance

especially was the large assembly sig
nally honored by the Hon. t. A. Healey
of Seward Co., ,Neb., who was soon to
be severed from the plebeian world,
to take UP his abode in the Legislative
Halls of Nebraska The first thing on
the programme was the serving of a
sumptuous repast in the basement of
the church, after which the company
repaired to the upper court where or
der was restored, and the interest the
remainder Of the evening centered on
the Christmas tree which did not bios

the previous Christmas trees here, it
being possible that Santa Claus was
pinched with hard times. Several

Nh. Bailey facetiously called off the
names and many were the happy re-
cipients of presents. Santa Claus re-
membered the minister's family with
some dainty little parcels, of which no
peering eye could tell the contents;
but Mrs. Grundy observed that"coming
events cast their shadows before
them" The mantua-maker of this
place received a mirror Of immense
size, "a most acceptable present to any
lady, as it would afford her so many
beautiful reflections through the day.
Ladies, call on the proprietress of this
mirror and get your new dresses cut
and made, and behold in it her skill in
the art, and how transformed and
splendid you look in perfect fitting

Burlesque in its refined rendering is as

Candidates for Aldermen

The ward meetings last night were we'll
attended and the candidates fully up to
the average alderman.
Mr.. O'Neil is a superior man and will
make good alderman.
Mr.. Schlemmer is an intelligent and re
putable man, better maa than the aver
age Of those who hold the office,
Mr.. Simmon is one of our. Oldest and
most respected citizens and substantial
property holder of the ward.
Mr.. Kennedy is an enterprising con
tractor and a much more intelligent mar
than has represented the ward of late. Hi:
character is above reproach.
Mr.. King is the enterprising brewer
of the 5th ward, good citizen, an intelli
gent man, and interested in the prosper
ity Of the city.
AS whole the candidates are fully the
equal of those nominated by the Repub
licans and much preferable on account o
their politics, We hope they will all b'
elected, and they all can be if their friend
and the Democrats generally do thei
| duty.

a Sad Fact.

While physical perfection and beauty is
desired, and is a duty which should not be
ignored, yet how sad is the fact that in the
United States more than 100000 cripples
and deformed persons exist, while many
thousands more are becoming so. Every
parent is solicitous about the mental cul-
ture of children, but ignores, seemingly,
physical development. Deformity is too
often neglected or only treated by the family
physician, who has not tie facilities, and
to finally end in sad lasting deformity is
the result. Sending off for mechanical ap-
pliances or neglect is vandalism. When
we stop to think of the wonderful, intri-
cate, and complicated mechanical structure
Of the body. can we doubt for a moment
the necessity for an institution for its re
pairs, where supports. appliances aud ap-
paratUs can be constructed and applied to
meet the ever varying necessities For
this purpose the National Surgical Insti-
tute, with its four great divisions, was
founded, viz: at Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco, and Atlanta. Ga. In the last &c
years it has cured over 10000 diseased
and deformed people 1t has expended
over $500, COO in manufacturing and per
fecting appliances for this purpose, 1t ex-
hibited at the centennial more than five
times as many appliances, and better ones,
than all the nations of the earth combined,
and received not only the highest medal
and diploma, but the greatest praise from
the surgeon generals and commissioners
of other nations. Every one who tsaw the
exhibit was glad to own Americas triumph

We have learned that two or more of the
surgeons Of the National Surgical Institute
