SelElmprOvement

No pupil is more pitied by the teacher
than one that does not want to learn.
The mischievous pupil that plays, makes
fun, or even annoYs others, IS not dread
ed like one that does not have any ap.
petite for knowledge. This state Of
mind is not dullness or thickheadedness-it
is a lack of intellectual appetite. To
remedy this the teacher spends much
labor.
And yet there are thousands of teachers
who have no desire of advancement.
Having gained a place to teach they go
in and out, keep order and hear r%ecitatlons
and advance in knowledge as a horse tied
by a rope to a post advances. Arith-
metic? Why, they went through that.
Language? Why, they only hear chill
dren read in the Third Reader: why
should they study that? These are nice
people usually; their only fault IS that
they do what a teacher condemns in his
pupil-they don't study their lessons.
Let us admit the teacher knows arith-
metlc and the third reader pretty well.
Let us look at him as one that IS in the
world to be educated, and submit a few
questions:
Are you not deficient in taste? Will it
not benefit you to read with care the great
P'SIo' OuSAV JOu NV w otuOJ pOCIIy
for this very purpose? Think over your
accumulations Of Shakespeare. Words
| worth, Milton, Grey. Burns, Browning.
Are they large? Can you point out the
features in a poem that stamp it excellent?
Are you not deficient in Imagination?
Ought you not to read the poets for this
purpose? Have you read Bunyan's
wonderful work? Have you read Burke?
Do you look into Shakespeare and the
Bible to see the exhibition of imaginative
power?
Are you deficient in reasoning power!
Cannot you read Webster, Clay, Butler,
Bacon and Locke to advantage? Why
not study mathematics? You will find
pleasure in it.
Are you deficient in interest in public
affairs, or in Judgment, or in good sense
in the affairs of life, or in sensibilitY, o.
patriotism. or in conscience? You car
improve yourself in all these directions.
Your happiness, dear teachers, as vel
as your usefulness, demands that 20,
forget your past. that you simply conside
all present attachments as stairs or step
to help you to go higher up. No one l
to be so pltied as n who attempts t.
teach others and who resolutely refuse
to learn. 1t is hard to drink stagnan
water; young children will not do it whe1
they car get it running from the clea
spring.-SchOol Journal.

Lamoille County Savings Bank.

The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company, of Hyde Park, has
been organized by men who believe
that savings bank can be run as a
Vermont institution.
1t relies exclusively upon Vermont
business, makes no southern and no
western loans whatever, nor any loans
which the managers cannot ascertain
by personal investigation to be good
beyond question.
The conservative policy of its Pres
ident, Hon. G. S. Page, is well known
to all who have observed his recon-
mendations as Inspector of Finance
for the State of Vermont during the
past four years. His ideas have been
regarded as over-cautious touching the
matter of investments, but the policy
of the management of this bank will
be in the exact line of his well known
views. Safety will be the first consid-
Grafton, and with this in view the bank
will guarantee the payment of four per
cent, compounded semi annually, be-
lieving that this is all that the safest
line of investments and conservative
management will now warrant.
Persons at distance can send mon
ey with entire safety by express, post
Office order, express money order, reg
istered letter, or by hank check or
draft, and deposit book will be return
ed by mail.
Deposits in this institution are ex-
empt from individual taxation to the
extent of 1900.
