PUNISHMENT.

Of all the good things that President
Baldwin, of the Normal School, Kirksville,
has said in the american Educational Jour
nal, nothing is better than the following
concerning punishmente
l. Punishment should be Reformatory-
never Vindictive. All puuishments should
tend to benefit the punished. Vindictive
punishments foster vindictiveness. What
a world of good would result from the uni
verssl application of this grand principle
3 Punishment should foster Self-control.
Self-government alone ia worthy of man.
Punishments should tend I" foster self
control by working in the offender firm
resolve to forsake the wrong aud do the
right. Punishments that crush manhood
are fendish.
3. The punishment should be natural
copseo nence of the offence. This is a fun
damental principle OF the Divine Govern
ment, and the more closely hnman govern
ments observe it, the better. Toe relation
between the offense and the punishment
should be profoundly studied.
4. Punishmente should be mild, but Ger
tain. Undue severity creates sympathy
for the offender All semblance CT cruelty
should be avoided. Mild but certain pun
ishments are most effective.
5. The loving heart and kind word should
accompany the firm hand. Only thus can
| the punishment be made effective. The
punishment should be deliberate, 30 as to
give both parties time to reflect. The In
| Fiction should be in love not in anger.
6. Punishments should be infrequent: BY
| skillful management, otfenses should oe
prevented, and puuishments averted. When
the old schoolmaster averaged twenty whip
pings a day, whipping ceased to be ettec
| tive. The almost continued punishment o.
| one kind or another, inflicted by some
teachers and parents is an unmixed evil.

Sentative.

Most children are sensitive, and it is
wrong TO wantonly wound their feelings
by censuring them too harshly for their
faults. Time cures a great many things /;
children outgrow infirmities and faults,
and if right principles of action and feeling
are iustilled gently, constantly, wisely, the
results will ultimately appear. 1t is mere
cruelty to make the weak points of a child
q source of teasing and ridicule, as is often
done in schools and families. A mental
infirmity should be treated as tenderly as
bodily deformity. A quick temper, an
irritable or timoro1s or teasing disposition
REQUIRES far more tact and judicious man
agement than any mere physical intirmity.
When grown to maturity, our sensitive
children become the poets, musicians,
artists, writers, leaders of their times.
Help them, too, with their tasks, which to
many of them seem hopeless. Definitions
are hard to remember the geography
lesson is dificult to comprehend and won't
stay fixed in the mind; history is dull and
dead arithmetic a hopeless tangle OF
figures, and grammar more puzzling than
a5y possible conundrum. The little folk
need help; they need cheer and en-
couragemept, and who should be 30 read y,
so willing, so able to give as the parent
