You cannot easily over estimate
the influence of beloved teacher.
No one is utterly irredeemable whC

Avoid, as much as possible antagon.

You need not think that to bolt il

We indorse the above all but the

Harper, of Rockport, has named

Mr., Mcintyre; we cant tell it.
1t takes little more time to do it,
but when it is done and friction is
avoided, the discipline is avoided, the

We saw, not long since, an order
from a teacher, to a merchant, of this
county, for fifty pound of flower and
twenty pound of bakin. We suppose
that teacher makes a speciality of Or
biography and etymology.
If the teacher is lazy, if he habitu-
ally begins school late, or closes it
early, if he frequently omits part of the
recitatiOns, if he lounges about while
out Of school, he teaches habits of idle
ness and thriftlessness.-Eclectic Teach

Zone of first elements of success in
teaching Children" says a writer in
Home and School. of August 1874,

volume. In reviewing its past we
are particularly struck with the rapid
it has made in all of its
departments-typographicai, editorial
and correspondence. Now is the time
to renew your subscriptions. or to hand
in new subscriptions, so that you may
be sure to begin with volume ffth,
which, from every indication, will far
excel any of its predecessors. With

is girea for their especial benefit, will
acknowledge their appreciation of the
fapt, by generous support.
In the great North American Gram

We are prepared to sit back and
smile conplacentIy at that, if some
body will explain it. We have no
