the Threshing Machines then
in use were almost wholly of
the class known as the Endless
Apron style. Then it was that
Nichols & Shepard, Of Battle
Greek, Mich, inventedandbega
to develop an entirely new and
novel style OF Grain Thresher and
Separator, which thcyvery appro-
priately named the vibrator.
1t was a revolution in Thresh-
ing Machines, and from a small
beginning Of FIVE machines in
1853 they soon reached a pro-
duct of 1000 yearly.
Their Vibrator drove the End
less Apron" machine out Of mar
kct, and all other makers copied
it as closely as they dared. To-
day all Threshing Machines of
any reputation or merit use the
principles Of the old Vibrator.
Nichols & Shepard have con-
tinued in the business without
change OF name, location, or
management; and during the
past three years have brought
out and developed another new
Threshing Machine for grain and
seeds, as superior to all existing
machines as their former was to
the Endless Apron. They name
this new and improved Thresher

Blackboard Work in District School:


I. BIdckboards.
Blackboards are indispensable in any
school. The carpenter may as well ex-
pect to do good work without plane or
square as the teacher can intend to do
his best in a school not furnished with
the most useful of all modern inventions
in the line of apparatus that have bene-
flied the schools of to-day, viz, the black
board.
If the school is not furnished with
well prepared board the teacher must go
to work and not rest until he has accom-
plished a great mission by procuring a
good blackboard.
2. The Teachers Work at the Board. z
Teachers are too apt to "lecture" too
much in explaining things difficult for the
pupils to comprehend. The pupils won
der at the mass of information the teach
er seems to possess, while the meaning of
what the teacher intends 10 make clear
for the pupils is as far away fIom them as
the sun from the earth. The teacher
does not need to be an artist in order that
he may make illustrations ON the black
board for the purpose of making the mean
ing clear to the pupil.
Aim at neatness and accuracy in your
blackboard work. 1t will be more close
" examined than that of any other writ
ten work the teacher may do.
The teacher must do his work well in
der that ne can expect good work from
his pupils. The teachers manner of
working viii be initiated more or less by
his pupils. The teachers image reflects
itself in the actions of his pupils.
In explaining difficult problems in arith-
metic let the teacher stop his 'oraP ex-
PLANTATION and then go to the board and
there illustrate the problem so that the
pupils can not fail to comprehend it.
The board may be used to advantage in
teaching all the common school branches;
but as there is not patent way of using
the blackboard, / shall not attempt to in
vent any. The teacher must be quick at
illustrating. He must be thoughtful as TO
the kind of illustration he makes. Aim
at making the illustration clear TO the
point rather than artistic. If you can do
both, so much the better.
3. The Pupils Work at he Board.
Pupils can be tested as TO their prepara-
ton better by being sent to the board and
assigned work, than by means Of being
questioned in the old "humdrum" way.
The pupils work viii then be open for
inspection by the pupils.
The pupil viii be more careful in pre-
pairing the lesson if he knows that he viii
be called upon to put a part of it on the
board. Pupils should be sent to the
board more as a test Of preparation than
for anything else. Allow no earelessness
to be exhibited by the pupils in their
work Any careless work should be
speedily erased by the pupils and the
right kind be put on the board in it
stead.
Pupils should not occupy all the time
at the board allotted for the recitation,
as the ter -.ler is in the school TO teach as
well as to test; in fact, he should teach
more than he tests.
