possess knowledge OF child-natme:
study the nature Of children thoroughly
and scientifically and sympathize with
them. They must know also how to ar
range subjects OF teaching how to prop
erly grade them and present them in the
most attractive and least trcsomc form,
They must above all be good discip.inar-
ians ana have their pupils in complete
command. There are several kinds
Of discipline the lowest and worst
of all is punishment, especially cor
be used when all other means
fail !; higher mode of discipline is tact
The wise teacher will with tact prevent Il
breach Of discipline instead OF furnishing
it after it has occurred. The highest dis
cipline is that which appeals to the con-
science OF the pupil, to his sense of right
and wrong, and induces the pupil to disci-
pilre himself. Let the pupil know that
you trust him and he will soon become
worthy of being trusted. Teachers by their
own upright character and walk in lie
should be an inspiration to the young,
Who should look up to them as 4 pattern and
guide. 1t Is not merely toacluire knOwl-
edge or culture that children arc sent to
school; but to be quickencd into 4 higher
life. to be lifted up morally to higher
ambition, to higher aspirations, auI thu;
to attain to greater usefulness.

lated by him engaged the interest Of his
auditors whilst they impaired abundant in
formation upon 4 subject that lies very
near to the heart OF your average Ameri-

imperfect and ineffective. Among the

supplied with the necessary apparatus, and
the best way to get it is to make it your
self, or if You are a lady get one of your
male friends to assist you. The only ap-
paratus necessary to give instruction in
cohesion is to have two pieces Of wOot:
with perfectly flat surfaces, place them to-
Gether with 4 slightly sliding motion and
the two pieces wil coaere. TO teach ad-
hesion it is only necessary to make mark
on the blackboard with Il piece of crayon

this is al illustration of adhe-
sion. Another illustration is the
sucker made of piece Of leatil
cr with cord passed through it. To give

children bring bottles of all sizes to school.
These he partly fills with water, and into
each he Introduces Il small quantity OF
sweet oil. The Oil and water will not mix
shake it up, the oil forms hundreds of
1lObulcs, bat let it rest little while and
it again comes to the surface. The Oi!
and water will not combine. Now add
to each bottle 4 little potash, shake the
bottle again and yOl have s,ft soap. The
oil and potash have combined. Now to
convert the soft soap into hard soap it is
,nly necessary to add u little salt, and the
soap can bc cut down. in cakes as well as
