we had experienced no really cold weather,
had not seen any snow, and with the excep-
tion of eight or ten days rain we spent as

Bullets Made Of Silver.
Mr. Ferguson brought with him many
curiosities and samples Of what he found in
the territory, such as coal resembling an
thracite, valuable ore specimens of different
kinds, and Esquimau bullets formed of
silver ore encased in lead. The EsquimauI
fashion them and then cover them with
lead, which they get by melting shot they
get in trade from white visitors He very
carefully located the ledge where he saw
an Esquimsu digging the silver ore. These
bullets have been asssyed and found to be
worth 5000 ton.
Mr.. Ferguson also found asbestos, mala-
chite and plumbago in large quantity
and of excellent quality. 1t,
as he believes, Alaska be q
continuation of the Siberian producing
strata we may expect to find in our latest
acquisition in abundance, gold, silver, many
of the common metals and precious stones,
and especially the malachite, for which
Siberia is particularly noted. If Uncle
Sam were to devote more attention to Alaska
he might soon people it with a class of col
onists who would not only settle the seal
fishery dispute, but make Mr.. Seward
known to future generations as the Jason OF
the nineteenth century.

quire high degree of excellence If they be
not seconded by q well-ordered home educa-
ton. What 10 learned at school as DUTY
should be practiced ct home from affection.
Bring the teacher and parent into closer
relationship and you not only lessen the
causes fof punishment, but you impart those
graces which 60 far to sdorn home, scnooi
and society.
1t would be we'll for the teacher before
condemning the child's actions to sit still .
moment, try to suppress his INDIGNATION,
and to ask himself, Gam right! Fernaps
after all there are two sides to this questlon,
and may not have taken the wrong one!
Always be certain of the child's guilt be.
fore you punish. If there remain any DOUBT
give the child the benefit of that doubt:
Often the teacher rather than the child
should have the punishment. If ever IL Is
necessary to infict corporal punishment,
have the child realize the necessity,
before such is administered. II POSI-
BILE reflect day before acting.
This may give you an entirely dlner-
child may repent of his wrongdoing, In
which case punishment becomes unneces-
sary. After the punishment be sure to re-
store him at once to your former favors oy
treating him kindly. If you are teacher
who believes in corporal punishment. al,
ways try to punish in love. When inflicted
in anger 1t is worse than useless. Ii you
cannot do this with love toward the pupil,
wait until anger gives way to love.
Tho Doctrine Of Sympathy.
It is hard sometimes to convince child
that you punish him because you love him,
and because it is necessary, and it is quite q
shame sometimes to convince yourself OF
the fact, but unless both pupil and teacher
are convinced that all is done for good the
punishment will have little effect. IT you
grieve to punish, you suffer most It is
your sympathy planted in the pupils soul
that is destined to develop it into nobler
life. Let your work be guided by the power
OF love and you will not furnish the text
for some future Goldsmith to say of you
"a man severe he was and stern to view."
1t would be good plan for the Superin-
tendent to have teachers report to him or
school board at the end of each month the
number of cases in which corporal punish
ment has been inflicted, together with the
ofenses for which the children were pun
ished. Many a teacher would be ashamed of
his record, and the number would certainly
fall below 123 times a month. Teachers
would then strive to govern by higher, bet
ter and nobler motives.
Let the teacher take the thought Of Dr..
Watts as his guiding star:
Though I were tall to reach the sky.
Or grasp the ocean with a span,
must be measured by my soul;
The minds the standard Of the man.

The Test of q Good Teacher.

Show me the degree and kind of punish
ment inflicted at school and will name
you the qualities of that teacher for it is
one of the best tests of teachers capacity
and fitness for the station he occupies. As
q rule, the best teachers punish least.
Teaching is one of the noblest works COM
mitted to man; for God has imposed no duty
so important as that of the culture of the
mind Can this be best accomplished
through fear?
Men and women with sensual natures
and mercenary aims ought not to be in a
schoolroom, where character is In its forma-
tive state, and where ''everv chord that is
struck IN tender mind vibrates at the
throne of God" The great end to be at
tanned by our system of public schools is
not to make expert scholars, not to make
smart boys and girls, not to teach them the
secrets of wealth, not how to become most
prominent in society, for such thoughts
often make punishment necessary in the
schoolroom, but simply its widest and
truest sense to make good citizens, to fit
them for different yocations and callings of
life.
There are some children that receive this
training for good citizenship under the pa
rental roof With these the teachers will
have little trouble. They will know right
from wrong; they will do the right and for
sake the wrong. And seldom will they get
into mischief, where the teacher is required
to punish. But how often is this parental
influence for good neglected? Those chill
dren who come to school in want of such
training are the scholars that make teach
ing unpleasant; these are the ones which
make many of our best teachers resign and
seek some other occupation. And yet think
you best to punish such child? 1t is un-
der such circumstances where you must call
in the assistance of parents and through
them lessen the need for the rod in the
schoolroom.

THE USE OF THE ROD.
4 QUESTION AS TO 1a3 wHIPPINGs A
MONTH In PITTSBURG.

Teachers Not Always to Blanca Deli.
cate Duty Toward Pupils Whose Parent,
Are Immor.I-The Best Manner Of Pun.
ishment and Its Result.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.1
It was stated recently that in the month
of October, 123 of the city pupils bowed
under the rod. That is an important fact
when taken in connection with the pub
lished position of Superintendent Luckey
on corporal punishment Is the rod not be-
ing used too frequently?
For my part believe in the doctrine, ITO
grant the right but avoid the use." Human
nature has not yet attained that standard of
perfection which will enable the teacher to
govern without punishment Stubborn
cases are met with everywhere, which can
only be subdued by fear of punishment
Penalties are laid down for him who dis
obeys the rules and regulations Of the State;
so punishment must follow as a consequence
for disobedience of the rules and reglations
Of school. The State has to deal with
adults; hence State punishments are retri-
butive and not necessarily corrective. The
teacher deals with children; hence the pun
ishment should be corrective rather than
retributive. No punishment should be in
ficted unless it serves in some way or
other to benefit the child punished. In or
der that child may be benefited it must
see the relation existing between the crime,
committed and the punishment admins
tered To show this relation is q solemn
duty devolving upon the teacher, and upon
1t depends the character of punishment to
be resorted to.

ndVc SiSlLuS Cpou ouT SyInpatUys
The widow and the orphan are consid-
cred objects of sympathy, and rightly so;
but those whose sad fate it is to be wives
of immoral husbands, or the children OF
immoral parents deserve far deeper SYM
pathy. It would be blessing for thou
sands of children if they were orphans,
and thus through the hands of charity were
brought under Christian influences in
orphans homes or Christian families
Here opens another problem, as perple1-
ing as it is important: What con The
teacher do for the moral growth of chill
dren whose parents are openly immoral?
How shall he deal with them2 How shall
he punish a boy for profanity whose father
is profane? How shall deceitfulness and
lying be treated as offenses in the case of q
child whose mother is openly guilty of
both, even in her dealings with her
children?
The sum and substances of moral law to
the very young child is the parents will
and conduct Whatever they say must be
true; and what they do must be right. It is
only as the child advances in years that he
gradually learns to Judge the conduct of
parents by the principle Of right, that what
they say or do cannot in all cases be relied
upon. In view of this fact the teacher finds
1t exceedingly difficult to make the boy,
whose father is addicted to swearing, real
ize that profanity is great sin, or if he is
deceitfu1 that deception and lying are any
wrong.
