Zopesa is certain preventive of

prised and gratified at the results. Try

The daily preparation by teachers Of
lessons for recitation cannot be too earn
estly insisted upon as a necessity for
the highest success in teaching. 1t is
avoided by some from the foolish i'm
preston that the habit would depre-
ciate their scholarship; it is neglected
by others because it would interfere
with other work which they desire to
do; it is shirked by still more from
sheer Incidence or preference for
amusement. The best teachers of
the world have made the conscientious
preparation of lessons an invariable
practice. College professors of many
years experience in particular branches
see no humiliation in preparing each
lesson; nor can thorough acquaintance
with the branches taueht Excuse neg
lect of this duty. The teacher needs
to be familiar not only with the subject,
but also with the author used; not only
with the subject in its entirety. but also
in its minutiae; not only with its topics
taken separately. but he should have
an intelligent comprehension of the
whole; he should be familiar not only
with its narrowest Interpretation, but
with its broad and multifarious rela-
tons and applications to correlated
subjects. The true teacher desires to
have the subject as fresh as possible in
his mind so that he can present it with
the maximum of clearness and vivacity.
He desires to be familiar with the la
test discoveries and researches connect
ed with what he teaches. He desires
to be thoroughly equipped with inter-
esting and instructive illustrations,
with quotations, and with original OBJ
servations on the subject that may tend
to awaken thought and develop char
acter. Even the most primary subject
can be grandly dignifed and ennobled by
earnest efforts and the infusion of the
teachers personality. Whatever con-
Germs the welfare of the human mind
and soul is worth the greatest diligence
and the highest enthusiasm.
