Why Some Teachers 90 not Sue
coed.

As the public schools all over the
country will commence in a few days,
we publish the following reasons why
some teachers do not succeed, which
il read and carefully observed by
SHINE teachers will prevent their maxi
ing failures:
They are lazy.
They neglect details.
They use poor Judgement.
They complain too much.
They have no eye to order.
Tlus are not polite enough.
They are easily discouraged.
They do not try to improve.
They talk politics too much.
They fail to have new ideas.
They underratc the business.
They.never visit the parents.
They fail to-manage with tact.
They do not study the children.
They over estimate themselves.
They fail to use such as they have.
They are stingy toward themselves
They keep away from their pupils.
They attend no teachers meetings.
They 10 not study over the lessons,
They have too much outside bust
ness.
They are penny wise and p und
foolish.
They are trying to go into some
thing else.
They hope to get along without eff
fort.
They are rusty and without ambi-
ton.
They think the school was made
for them.
They fail to know what the world
is doing.
They read no educational papers or
books.
They know so much they will learn
no more.
They do not study the great mas
ters of the art.
They follow the same method with
each class.
They think most things take too
much trouble.
They phlosophize on everything
but their own business.
They neglect to think of the pupils
good at every point.
They do not travel, etc., and all to
be a better teacher.
They think inferior work does Just
as we'll as good work.
They do not determine to be the
best teacher in the place.
They fail to practice what the edu-
cational papers tell them.
They have become dry, stale, and
repulsive to live children.
They rely on the little stock Of
goods they began business with.
They forget that the art Of teaching
is an art requiring Study.
They think they caunot learn any
thing more abont their art
They began with a small stock of
ideas, and have not increased it.
They think any one can teach who
knows little about the studies.
They can see the weak points in
their scholars, but not in themselves.
They do not seek for inspiration by
studying the methods Of the best teach
ers.
They do not see that the profession
is as high as the teachers themselves
praise it.
They are noe in real earnest to teach
SO that ito morrow will find then
farther than to-day"
They do not take common sens
as the guide, but hug, Journalism
handed down from dark ages.
They drop the school when it is out
and never think of it again until the,
come before their pupils next day.

An ingenious Strasburg journalist
has defined the word "stalwart," as
used in America. He says that '..stal"
is from "steele," position, and
"wart" from "warten," to wait, that is
to say, "stellen warten," persons
waiting for Government places.
There is no loop for criticism.

1t is a fact, possibly not known even to
his old associates, that, some twenty-three
years ago, Mr.. A. A. Talmage, the grea t
Western Shore railway manager, was a
brakeman on the Lake Shore Railroad at
a salary of $35 per month, and in the rough
and tumble battle of life took even chances
along the lines and in the Toledo and
Cleveland yards with the other brakemen
of the company, From the Lake Shore,
we believe, Mr., Talmage went to the In
dianapolis & st. Louis road, where he
passed through the grades of freight and
passenger conductor up to that of assistant
superindent. He is now the general
manager of 200 miles of railroad, and
viii in all probability, ere twelve months
have elspsed, be given charge ON the whole
of Mr.. Goulds vast railway system from
ST. Louis to the Mexican capital, thereby
being placed in the most exhaulted posi-
ton held by any railway manager in The
world. The brilliant career of this gem
tleman, who has risen from a humble
place to an office approaching in power,
patronage and emolument that of the
President OF the United States, is an ill.,
ustration of what every steady, sober and
intelligent railway employe may accom-
plish if he will strive to rise in his profess
ion.-G Railroader.
