TILE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.


Every teacher is aware OF the utility
of the first days impression in the
school room. 1t is necessary that the
teacher makes special preparation
preparatory to opening the school, re-
membering that "frst impressions are
lasting ones" Tho following very
valuable article we take from the Nor.
NAL Teacher
"The first day Of school is the most
important of the whole term. What
the teacher does this day will form
pretty clear index of what will follow.
The plans and systems adopted, and
the general management followed out
the first day, will be with few excep-
tions, pursued to the close of the term.
We have watched this matter careful
w and have never known it to fail. If
the teacher has little or no system the
first day, be will have little or no sys.
TEN during the term. If he goes to
the schoolroom not knowing hardly
what 10 do, or how to do it, the first
morning, rather relying Oh the exigcn-
cies of the occasion to prompt him 10
do something, he will find himself in
the same predicament every morning
Of the school term. lf he drags him
self to the school.room dreading his
first days work, his steps will grow
slower and slower, and his dread will
increase until, by the last day, it will
become "a burden too grevious TO be
borne
If this be true, how important it is
then that we begin Alright. We all re-
member perhaps the old proverb which
says, "Any thing well begun is half
DONE" We can not be too careful in
our first days work. 10 is essential
10 our highest success that we make
special preparation for it. You can
then plant your chart and set your
compass accordingly. You will soon
find out how much of an interest your
patrons take in education who the
unruly boys and girls are what kind
of teacher they had last winter, his
faults and failures especially; just how
the school has been managed for years
past, and Just ho,o il should be managed,
and much other useful information
that will be of great help to you. Visit
the school-room in person with the
director, and tell him that the house
must bo put in order before school
opens. Having arranged all the pre-.
liminarics, you are now prepared TO
make out your programme for the
first day. Go to your work knowing
just what to do and how to do il.
Have two or three of the patrons, the
director, and, if possible, the trustee IN
to see you organize. BE prepared to
show yourself master OF the situation
and our word for It, you will be mas
ter through the entire term. DO not
be so simple as to give your pupils for.
ty or fifty rules prohibiting them from
committinga hundred or more deprc.
dations, which they would, perhaps,
have never thought Of had you not
told them, but rather maintain order
by forestalling disorder. BE very care
iul TO have everything as orderly the
first day as you wish TO have II during
the entire term. Again wo repeat,
you can not DO too careful Of your
first days work. Only this, and moth.
