LIGHT AND SHADOW OF THE TEACH.
ER'S LIFE

1t has only been few years since
tho school-room was a dull, gloomy
place where the teacher stalked abo,t t
among his pupils with rod in hand
really to infict punishment upon all
iwhe dared disobey his rules. The
teacher never conceived the idea Of
Istriying to make it pleasant, or Of
making the work such that the stu
dent would feel any pleasure in it. and
thus find it a delight to attend the
lschoo!. His greatest effort was to se-
cure perfect obedience to the regula-
tions of the school whether they were
reasonable or unreasonable. 1t is not
very difficult to believe that a teacher
who managed his school in this way
would have more shadow than light in
his life.
But better day has dawned for the
schools, and consequently more light
is shining into the life of the teacher.
There has been great revolution in
school work in the last twenty-five
years.
Now the energetic, wide-awake
teacher strives to make his school
room as pleasant as possible. He
tries to make school work agreeable
as we'll as profitable to the pupils.
He shows them that he is interests3 in
their welfare, that all the regulations
OF the school are made for their good.
He takes his pupils into his confidence
and tries to make each one realiza
that the good name of the school is
somew hat dependent on him, that each
one may aid in the management Of the
school. School government is thus
made comparatively easy and teach
ing much more pleasant than it was
under the old system.
The object in teaching should be to
build character. 1y.en the conscien-
tious teacher strives to build up truth
fu!ness, honesty and promptness in
his pupils and the consciousness that
he is faithfully performing these duties
that he is preparing boys and girls to
fight the battles of life is q source Of
great pleasure to the teacher.
A teacher who had made teaching
life work said she often received let
ters from her pupils attributing their
success in life to hcr training. She
said she felt amply rewarded for all
her patient work by knowing that her
students had gone out into the world
welding an influence for good. and
were succeeding in their work
Still there are some shadows in the
teachers life. People will o!lon mis-
Judge and criticise his actions when he
has done his duty. This troubles the
young teacher veey much. But if we
will investigate we will lind that per-
sons in other professions have their
actions misrepresented too. So we
think, taking it all in all, the teacher
may have much moro light than
shadow in his life.
Then. teachers, let's realizs that
Iteaching is a high aud responsible
profession. Let us press upward and
onward. ever discharging our whole
duty and ever trying to instill into
the minds OF our pupils desire to
become noble men and women. --ALIcE
