School Management.

AS the teacher is, so is the school, or
at leait this is generally the case. Ii
the teacher is kind, open-hearted, firm,
and patient, his pupils will usually be
friendly and obedient. A morose and
ftful teacher justly brings. upon him
self the i'll will Of those he is teaching.
Cultivate their friendship by good ex-
ample. Children are quick to notice
whether they are justly dealt with or
not. A good teacher is more ready to
correct the large than he is the small
scholar. 1t is a poor cowardly one that
will tyranize over the small ones, and
let the large one have their OWL way.
Our physical conditions determine our
mental states to a certain extent, there
fore we should study the laws Of ny
glene, and not only study, but teach
those laws that are so essential to us
all. 1t is impossible to do good work
unless your school rooms are well ven
tilated.
A school has good order when all are
quietly engaged in preparing their les.
sons. The teacher should at all times
strive to keep his pupils employed
This is the best way to keep order
Have a program and follow it. Some
children do not know how to study,
Exercises fer small children should be
varied and short-"variety is the spice
of life" with the little ones.
Teach them morality, good manners
n%eatness, anything that will elevate
and make them better men and women
better citizens, and fit them to lead a
pure and NOBLE life. OF what use is a
good education without good, manly
principles. N. A LANCE.

Another "strike" of school children
for shorter hours" is reported, this
time from St. Louis. These infantine
exploits should not be treated as a hui
morous feature ct of the labor disturb
ances. To the rejecting mind these
movements of the pupils have d very
serious aspect. The indicate insubor-
dlnation, and revolt against authority.
The children are minors under fixed
rules as to their education. They have
no determining power in the matter.
The so-called strike for shorter hours
is simply an act of disobed;ence, which
should be punished like any other
gross infringement OF school rules. If
the school authorities do not visit upon
the children the proper penalty, the
parents should switch the badness out
of them and teach them submission to
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

ter, 9l9 feet. In the adjoining coun-
ty of Georgia, (Habersham,) Hickory
Mountain, near Tallulan Falls, is the
highest point, being 1850 feet. The
falls are 1,629 feet and Turcoa city
l,o94 foct. The maps exhibit graph
