Some Pointers for School Teachers
Prof Charles 7. Wright, principal of the Belalr
graded school, read an excellent paper at the
| late meeting of the State Teachers Association,
on 1.-The Judicial and Executive Functions of
the Teacher" He said the teacher must use a
mental and moral force, not through the rod,
| but a force which appeals to the honor and
heart and intelligence of the pupil. Kindness
and firmneSs viii accomplish much. The use
| of the rod is, in some cases. necessary. Expert
ence has shown that those who know least
! about teaching are the most captious. The
|
mind prepared to teach, and not with the idea
of playing policeman for, if he does, the
pupils will determine to give him enough to do.
The teacher should be free from all excite
ment, impotence and buster. Every teacher
must bear in mind that he is notthe only good
one. No teacher should be so silly as to pre-
| tend to know everything, or he will fall into
| trap. Heshould not hesitate to correct an error
| before the school. Conceit is to be condemned
in any one, but in teacher it is pitiable if not
despicable. The teacher must be prepared to
withstand many unjust criticisms. None of us
have yet found the coveted secret of doing and
saying at all times the right thing. The teach
| er must possess the power of self-government
| A teacher must not lose his self possession.
| Arrogance and the assumption of infallibility
betray ignorance, and the teacher who is too
proud to acknowledge or correct an error be-
fore his school had better seek some other vo-
| cation.
The teacher should be a wise legislator, a
sIillful Judge, and fearless and just executive.
| Constant menace makes the governed FESTIVE
resentfrll and even daring therefore, no rule
| should be paraded before the eyes of the stu
dents as if it prided in its power to punish.
Some teachers use rules as the tealnster uses his
ox-goad-as an instrument to spur and drive
