Much is said at teachers meetings
about the ignorance and inefficiency of
school officers. There is some ground
for criticism, though much oft is not true.
The rank and file of our school officers
are good men, men of good judgment in
most matters, men who pay heavy taxes
for school purposes and do it willingly.
But the trouble usually lies in a lack Of
knowledge of teachers work and methods
and wants, and often a lack of sympathy
with teachers. 1t is not want of friend
ly disposition, but lack of that sympathy
that would be brought about if the school
officer was oftener in the school, and
with the teacher in everyday work.

Discussion in the classroom may be of
service; it is usually harmful. Few teach
ers know how to allow class to discuss
for the sake of information or discipline.
Nineteen times out of twenty, so far as
our observation goes, children discuss to
win rather than to learn, and it is no
more beneficial morally or intellectually,
than a ''row" in a church choir, where
everybody claims and tries to prove, not
that his friend sings the better, but that
the other sings the worse. Any discus
sion that does not have for its sole aim a
better knowledge and discipline is pos
tive harm W0sship.
