OUR PUPIL.

We collect his facts for him; we
classify them for him; we name them
for him; we define tor him the names
we employ; we reason from the facts
for him; in short, we do everything
that is likely to render him stupid for
life. 1t would be quite as reasonable
to expect that he would grow physical
ly strong if we ate and drank and took
exercise for him. while he looked quiet
ly on. We get rid OF his brains, as
somebody said, to make room for his
learning; we crush out his native in
telligence under pretensc OF developing
it; we load him with knowledge, but
prevent him from acquiring the power

reasons for leniencies on the part of
the teacher toward the pupil, of which
the law can take no cognizance. 1t
would indeed be a tyranical teacher
who would strive only to keep in the
limits of the law Happily. as has be-
fore been minated, the relations be-
tween pupils and instructor are more
pleasant and profitable to both to-day
than fifty, forty, or even ten years ago.
Now and then a case of severity arises
to remind us of the ancient times,
which creates much hard feeling be-
tween the parties and the friends OF
each, Gases. oftentimes, in which
little of the teachers force of charac:
ter might have accomplished as much
as the rod, and have averted that feel
ing of bitterness sure to follow any but
the mildcst punishments.
The most successful, the most re-
spected, and the most beloved teachers
find very little use for corporal punish
mcnt of any kind. A friend, young
and successful teacher. once writing to
me and referring to teaching as labor
of love said: II feel increasingly that
though speak with the tongues of
men and of angels, and though | un-
derstand all masteries and all knowl-
edge and have not charity, | am moth
ing And 50 | try to love every pupil
when try to teach, and to work with
them and for them mainly because |
love them and want to do them good.
In order to do this | have to live in
constant communion with Him whose
nature and whose name is love"

But they wouldn't miss me here.

The letter left by Miss Smith, a
young woman who committed suicide
in st. Louis, discloses a queer belief
and singular cause of unhappiness.
Tell the boys and all, she says,
writing to her unnatural mother, ''if
there is such place as heaven | will
try and visit them there, and if | can
come back | will come. Please don t
bury me in Keokuk. | won't rest
there. Bury me in Bellefontaine Gene
terry. Ma, | know you have always
hated me, and forgive you, but viii
Beckley | never will. Don't let him
come near me. 1t is not easy to
understand why she would not rest in
Keokuk or why her mother should have
hated her. The idea that she, a sui
eide, should be able to 90 to heaven is
an Indication of lax orthodoxy.

READING.

Fully half those VINO read either
merely mouth words, getting no idea
from them, or read trash which weak
ems and vitiates Judgment memory,
and morals. To the first of these I'M
fortunates, we ask the consideration of
teachers. They are within our reach
to much greater extent than the
second class. Besides, to thoroughly
cure the former will greatly reduce the
number of imbeciles who feed on rub
Dish and husks The first antidote for
moral poison of all kinds is real intel

MORE RECES 'ES.

The best ventilated school building
ever constructed is not so well provid-
ed with pure air as all outdoors; and
no throwing up of windows, no free
gymnastics indoors, can compensate
for spontaneous and cxhilarating exer-
else in the unrestricted atmosphere of
the playground Complaints of the
evils of overwork in our schools are
frequent and widespread, But, as n
general rule the troubles complained
OF arise, not from over-work, but from
confinement in Initiated atmosphere.
This it is that lower the tone of the
physical system, and not unfrequently,
for the time being, deprives the child
of the power of intellectual applica-
ton altogether. One educational re-
suit of this deprivation is, that we
have things learned in a way purely
mechanical The pupils inability to
use his other faculties throws him back
upon the one last to fall into the coma
tose state, and ali the exertion he is
capable of making falls upon a feeble
and deliberated memory, H,then, any
change from the general rule in regard
to recesses is to be made, that change,
rs it seems to me, ought to be IN the
direction of more of them instead of
less. superintendent John HancOc5

In was to be expected that Mr. Morrison
and his adherents would mako bitter re-
marks about Mr.. Randall on account of
their crushing defeat. But no ono sup
posed they were so thoroughly embittered
as to charge the Grant 6 Ward failure to
him. Some Of them arc still at it and ap-
rarently nothing will bring about cessa-
tion of hostilties. They are to be heard
around the hotels at night storming the
Randall party with such opthets as "trai-
tors towards" "Bashi Bazoulss,"
"idiots,' ''loathsome CORFU ptionists," "de-
serters," Benedict Arnolds" aud paid
agents of monopolists." These outbursts
may probably show the sincerity of the
horizontal tariff reformers in the opinion
they profess to hold and their hatred of the
other side, but they do not conduce to har-
mony in the party.
