Order and Government.

See that your pupils take no privileges
of any kind without your permission.
Grant no request during the progress
of a recitation.
Con6ne the business of answering gen
eral questions, leaving seats, getting
drinks, leaving the room, to the time i'm
meiiately before dismissing the class; and
then allow one or Two minutes.
Give pupils to understand that the
re,itation-time belongs exclusively to the
class, and teach them the virtue of self
denial aud endurance.
Do not dismiss class until you have
assigned the next lesson, and be sure that
all understand the assignment.
Always treat your pupils politely; then
you can expect the same treatment from
them.
Govern your school with kindness, but
with frmness. DO not govern the life
out of 1t.
Allow no running, scuffiiDg or romping
in the school-room.
IfYoa wish to keep your school from
becoming confused, never allow your
self to become confused.
Never tell pupil he shall do anything
that you are not sure you can make him
do if he refuses, and be sure to see that
he does it.
Never promise what you will do to
punish pupil.-SchooL Journal.

We suggest to the teachers of Dickin-
son County that you be thorough in your
work. In your ambition to advance pu-
pills in their various studies the tempta-
ton may be great to cover all the ground
you can without regard to thOroughDess.
By SO doing, you do the pupil lasting
injustice. Try to instill in them the idea
that if a thing is worth doing at all it is
worth doing we'll, and by SO doing you
will lay solid foundation for future sue
cess. Before leaving a given work be
assured that the pupils comprehend fully
the meaning of such work SO they can
express it in their o,on ideas and not 10 a
mechanical way from the text book.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1885-01-29

A lesson is not thoroughly learned
until it has been recited The mere act
of telling thing will impress it upon the
mind. 1t is no excuse for pupil to say,
81 know but | can't tell" If he knew
he could tell. 1t is not clear in his own
mind when he cannot tell. Impress facts
upon the mind by repetition. Review
