rapidly and correctly, and have nc
breadth Of judgment, no quickness Of
personal apprehension, no ability Of
adapting himself to circumstances; in
fact, almost no one Of the many posses
sions demanded in good teacher. There
are two qualifications found in the really
auccessful administrator more important
than the possession of s'quantity of facts.
The first of these is judgment, or what
the people call common sense, and the
second is knowledge Of the materials s0ith
sohich he has to deal. Common sense is
generally supposed to be an inherited
quality. This is a mistake. Of course
the "potentiality" must be present at the
start; there must be>something that can
be educated before an education com.
mences. This must be admitted. But
after this, correct training always gives
common sense. Therefore we say that
the most important thing a training
school for teachers should give is common
sense. This acquired, school government
becomes an easy matter. It is impossi-
BILE totell any teacher how he should act
under all possible circumstances. His
own mind must give him that informa.
ton. Atpresent thousands of teachers
have not this culture, and the result is
they faiIas soon as they are brought in
contact with pupils and their parents.
They can ateach," according to their
ideal of what teaching is, but they can
do little else. It is usually said that
their failure is due to want Of govern.
ing ability. They "know enough but
don't know how to apply it." This is the
verdict of the world. The difficulty Is in
q lack Of Judgment education.
The better teacher Is educated the better
he can teach but this by no means inn
plies that the more facts teacher knows
the better he can teach. He who can
las a result of culture) know
his pupils thoughts, appreciate their
meet their wants, know their
peculiarities, and adapt his thoughts to.
their thoughts, his words to their COM
prehenaion, can teach: but he who can.
not do this cannot teach, no matter how
many books he knows. Learning aud
study are all important. Nothing can
be placed before them, but learning and
study must enlarge the conceptive pow
BIS, broaden generalization ability,
quicken the observation, make vivid and
correct the imagination, and create q
sensitive, ethical apprehension.
The special preparation for teacher
Is a knowledge Of child nature, and he
must gain this through study of his

yood books on psychology will not help
him in this work unless he learns to

ion and action. The sentimental, poetic,
.delirious period arrives. The emotional
nature, under the stimulus of awakening
faculties, nov become supreme, and the
girl is wholly under its control. There
should be no difference in girls and a
boys life until they are ten years of age.
She ought to be equal of her brother in
out.of door sports. Until they are ff-
teen years of age they ought to have the
same training in school. As much ought
to be expected from her as from him.
After that time their education should
differ, according to their different spheres
of action. A true affection is an anchor
to character, and if girls life were SO.
cnrely anchored at home she would not
be easily driven out to sea. The father,
rather than the mother, is or can be q
favorite with the daughter. If father
wishes to fortify his daughter against

but love. And to do this he must feel
the love Of the child until that love ri

selves. They think their daughters do
love them. They will think this when
they cannot remember ever to have had
a confndental interchange of thoughts,
aspirations and secrets, such as We tavs
only with those we dearly love and fully
trust. They cannot remember when they
had caress or anything but a formal
kiss and yet they think their daughters
love them. Apply these tests: "We
con6de in those we love. Does your
daughter reveal her heart to you? We
like to be with those we love. Does your
daughter long for your companionship :?
Does she really enjoy being with you ?
Will she forsake the society of others to
be with you? Ifyour daughter has loved
you and con6ded in you from infancy
and found in you that true friend that
she ought to find, do you think she will
forget all this and go contrary to your
wishes? She will not fall in love, but
will enter into love deliberately, and her
father who has her confidence can coun-
teract the leading if be sees fit. When
young man comes to steal her heart he
will find the old gentleman at home. II
he wants that heart he must ask for it and

cercising his mucles vigorously by
gathering the trash and loose stones

made such a wonderful change for
