in youth the victims of the old'time
school-master's birch and ferule.
. 6. Between those who essay to shape
our public educational policy and
frame the laws that govern
our public school system,
there Is often an unfortunate antagon-
ism. The school teacher or village
professor who from his habits OF lie
has been debarred from popular con-
tact and therefore knows little of pub
lie sentiment. and the politician, who
knows nothing of the science and art
of teaching but is on the hunt for votes
often blindly antagonize each other'
A frequent result of this antagonism is
seen in compromise legislation for the
administration of n school system that
is rather defeating than enabling. !,
(c) These bstacles must be cleared
out of the way of progressive pubic
education. This end can only be
reached by persistent and Intelligent
effort in antagonism thereto.
The friends of popular education
must study the subject of school-house
architecture in all its economical &c,
tails. and demonstrate them on All
proper occasions, especially inpreSslng
their Importance to health and the en-
forcement of rational discipline.
D Jealous and persistent efforts
onght to be made on all suitable coca
sions to con vince parents that there
has been as much improvement MADE
In a generation in text books as IN the
tools of the mechanic.

teaching, else public schools are an
impossibility. In the choice Of teach
ers for public schools in rural locali-
ties, under proper provisions for their
comfort and that of their little pupils,
preference must be given To female
teachers, because of their natural SUI
perior tact and skill i'm teashing
and training young minds, and be-
cause. scholarly altainments being
equal, educated women can Afford TO
teach for less money than educated
men. The training and care of young
children Is legitimately In the line OF
refined woman's vocation. Her in-
liuence il exerted through the alice
lions, and is therefore refining and ele-
vating-a consideration OF vast mo-
meut in the proper education OF the
Young. A man, If dutiful, in ac'
cordnnce with the expectation OF CIV
ilized society, has before him an IN
crease of domestic responsibility with
increasing age. This expectation ia
regard to woman is reversed. III the
female teacher marries ludiciously,
her pecuniary responsibility ior the
support of herselfis merged into that
of her husbands. Even a
widow, as her young children
increase in age in general has less ne,
cessity to work for wages. Men VIII
not, indeed they cannot in justice to
themselves, their fapilies and society,

educated women can afford to accept.
