Edueation and Educators

The object of education is to de-
yelop body, mind, and soul to make
and women~of the children COM
to our care, to the end that
they may become good citizens.
Hence the knowledge of the educator
be adequate to accomplish
the object sought to be attained.
character should be such as to
make him the exemplar of the chill
dren committed to his care. In adj
dition, he should be largely possessed
of that very uncommon commodity,
eommon-sense. The teacher who
does not love children, and who does
not enter the business as a life-work,
rather than a make-shift, is unfit for
the profession. The educator who
looks only to intellectual culture, Of
ten at the expense of bodily and NOR
al culture, whosubstitutes examining
for training, memorizing Tor think
ing, is, in my opinion, unfit for his
business, and should be excluded
from the public schools. The child
or man may he an encyclopedia of
knowledge, and yet remain an infant
in all the essentials of manhood. Ii
the stomach is crammed with more
food than it can digest or the body
assimilate, sooner or later dyspepsia,
with all of its kindred ailments, will
follow. Mental dyspepsia is more
common, and is produced by substi-
tuting examining for thinking. Men
tai dyspeptics are found in every ave
nue. of public and private affairs
Are our educators and schools il
any way responsible for this state .

estimate tie .aiue of the inspiration
OF an enthusiastic and weli-informed
teacher. The teacher who has not
a love for good reading will exert lit
tie influence in the way of engender-
ing among pupils this most valuable
of all educational acquisitions. The
teacher who manifests no fondness for
scientific experiments will not induce
among his pupils a fendness for such
work. We have made these state
ments as an introduction to a protest
that we wish to make, looking to the
welfare both Of teachers and pupils.
We protest against the practice OF
doing school-room work out OF the
regular school hours. No teacher
should correct compositions. spelling
papers, or examine in any way pupils
work, outside of school hours. The
school programme should be so ar
ranged that all this work should be
done in school hours. If it cannot be
done then it is plain that the teacher
either has too many pupils or there
are too many studies or exercises in
the school. The time outside OF
schools should be sacredly devoted to
the physical, intellectual, social, and
moral growth of the teacher. The
teacher whose time and strength are
all exhausted by school-room work
cannot grow, and the dread of 2
teachers examination increases year
ly. Who will join with us in tue
protest against the doing of school
room work outside of school hours?

"Leisure is sweet to those who
have earned it, but burdensome to
those who get it for nothing"
tsHe that studies books alone, will
know how things ought to be. He
that studies men will know how things

SIT is one of the most beautiful
compensations In life that we cannot
sincerely try to help another without
helping ourselves" re
"Nake no noisy assertions of au-
thority, and do not threaten. Be
quiet but firm be digniied but not
distant. Let pupils feel that your
friendship Is desirable. Talk little,
but do what you say you will"

Superintendent Wickersham, of
Pennsylvania, spent four months
abroad last year, and much of the
time was devoted to visiting and in
spection of primary schools OF Eu-
rope. We present here a Summary
OF his observations, showing why he
thinks the schools of Europe superior
to ours:
/. "They are more carefully SUI
pervised.
2 Their course of study is better.
8. Their terms are longer.
4. The teachers have made more
special preparation for their work.
5. More attention is paid to moral
and religious instruction"
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-05-15

The school law of the state of Mis-
souri, allows each school district an
annual appropriation of twenty dol
lars for the purpose of establishing a
library therein. If schools were sup
Piled with a respectable collection OF
judiciously selected books, and a
part of each day, or at least Of each
week, be spent in perusing them, a
! greater thirst for knowledge would
be induced and a wider diffusion OF
the same would be the result.-Van-
dalia Leader.

If our friends, who from time to
time have promised an article for

"What is it?' growled Jack, who
is a brother of the period.

moustache you used in the theatricals

"Well?"
"Well. won't you just put them

Jack, l want you to stare at me the

"What!-you want me to do
that?"
"Yes; and as we come out, you
must stand in the door, and try to
slip me a card-take care that Gus
sees you, too"
"Well, Ideclare I"
"Because, you see, Jack, Gus likes
me, / know, but then he is awful
slow, and he's well-of, and lots OF
other girls are after him, and-and
he's got to be hurried up a little, as

lu the last agricultural report for this
state, we have the testimony OF Mr..
Kinney OF Worcester that from seven
ty.fve hens he made, in one year, $3.50
worth OF American gusnoi His main
object 10 keeping hens was for the pur-
pose Of dressing his land. Formerly,
he bought many cords Of manure TO
dress two acres OF land. He now cul.
tivAtes eleven acres without buying
cents worth OF manure He keeps
his hens confLed the year round. He
is very careful to give them clean,
wholesome food, aud to keep their
house clean and sweet. he floor is
covered with three or four inches Of
gravel and the droppings carefully and
frequently removed ard kept dry. At
the end OF the year, be had $50 bushels
Of droppiogs, making about ton in
weight. which he pulverized and mixed
with 81 tons Of poor loan and . little
plaster OF Paris. He then had 4 tons
of guano, which he testifies 10 better
than any imported article he has tried.
He SONS it on the ground, uses 1t In q
solid or liquid form. Ia the bill, aud
everywhere it is success. The ex-
periencs of Mr.. Kinney is certainly
worthy Of thought. II the excrements
Of birds on the coasts Of Africa aud
South America are OF sufficient value
to import to this country, we cannot
see why we may not use with profit
the dropppings OF fowls raised in our
own land.
Mr.. Kinney's experience evidently
proves several things concerning fowls
az fertilizers, viz: that the hens must
be confined all the time. which he
afirms can safely be done by training
them to IL. keeping them clean. ETC.,
also that the droppings msst be kept
dry aud then finely pulverized aud
properly mixed with dry dirt and pss-
ter OF Paris Hen guano lie so powerful
that to apply it unmixed is TO waste
valuable manure. and burn and scorch
whatever it is applied to.
Hens properly fed aud cared for will
return 100 per cent. profit above their
cost Of keeping 10 eggs alone, aud
when we add their meat producing
power, and lastly their iertilizing
capacity. who will say that they are
not profitable to keep TT. p. H., ~
