Teaching as q Profession.

Public School Journal
All efforts to elevate teachers as 9
class into professional workers have
so far been very slow In their effects
Many educators have given up the
idea of being able TO raise the voca.
ton of teaching to the highest de-
gree Of excellence under existing
conditions of society, and they are
contenting themselves with a lower
standard OF efficiency. This is q
great disappointment to many en-
thasiastic admirers of our common
school system. Their despair, how
ever, is uncalled for, because the
failure that has attended the endeav-
or to make teaching as a profession
rank with other learned professions,
lie doubtless due to misdirected effort;
that Is, In undertaking to do for g.
class what can be well zone only for
individuals. 1t is impossible Dy any
art or by any expenditure of means,
appreciably to alter the character or
con dition of q nation or race, as q
whole, at once. The average level OF
any people can be elevated only by
the rise of exceptional individuals,
while the main body remains much as
it was. The same principle might
we'll be recognized In the case OF
teachers. Educators too often aim to
clear up everything, so as to save
teachers the trouble of thinking and
the labor of vestagating. They limit
the range of study to com paratively
little more than the common branch
es. In these facts only are noticed,
and then not in their retaliation to
each other nor in their influence in
forming developing mind. Instruct
ors, too, generally hold to the irrat
ional idea of giving teachers nothing
but intellectual samples and cold
facts dealt out in fragmentary de-
tails. Institute work is to frequently
lower grade teachers, while no ar
rspgement is made to meet the wants
of those more advanced. All this
emaseulates abstract ideas and emf 90
les the power to be found only in
continuity of thought. Naturally,
the outcome is cry against science
and q demand for pratical results.
This holsters the popular opinion
that any one with superficial
knowledge of the common branches is
fitted to begin 10 teach. Plainly, the
to be done for teachers is
what is done in other professions,
and that is, open to them every aven-
ne of personal endeavor and keep be-
fore them the higher truths OF edu-
cation as we'll as the elements of
teaching Insist that teaching is q
science, a profession, and that some.
thing more than q memorized know
ledge OF primary details Is necessary
for a school-master's outfit. This
would create respect for the teachers
calling, and it would cause many
novices to hesitate before venturiDg
to assume responsibilities that they
find are looked upon as grave and
important by the more prudent and
experienced.

Greenland ice as a Highway for
EXPLORERS.

GSplOfGfS.
Lieutenant r Z. Peary, u. S. N,
writes in Goldthwaite's Geographical
Magazine his views as to the way
Greenland should be explored. He
says: "For more than 150 years the
inland ice of Greenland has been q
source of increasing interest and
speculation to travellers and scien lists
and especially to students of the
physical history of the earth. For
how much longer 1t has been an OBJ
iect of superstltious horror to the
scattered Eskimos who inhabit the
narrow strip of barren noun tains in
tervening between it and the Arctic
seas, there Is not even legend to
say. the results of the various at
tempts to explore it, leave little or no
room to doubt that the interior of
Greenland Is entirely submerged be-
meath the accumulated frozen pre-
cipitation of ages. This great con-
gealed reservoir has an area of some
600, 600 square miles, equal to about
three tin es the area OF France, or the
German Empire. and twelve times
the area of New York state. Its frog.
en- surface in the center is 5000 10
10000 feet above the sea level. Mont
Blanc buried IN it would lose two.
thirds it's height, and two Mount
Marceys piled one on an other, would
scarcely break its surface. From
every point along its circumference
where gaps in the Titan dam of
noun tains that holds it in Oh eek, per-
NIT, issue resistless glacier streams,
some OF which are larger than the
entire glacier system of the Alps.
This unique phenomenon is extreme
ly interes ing both per Sc and in its
relations to the glacial epoch in this
country and in Europe; and further
efforts for its exploration and study,
will continue to be made, and will
yield valuable results; but to me itR
great charm is, that TO the proper
party properly equipped, 1t Is an
imperial highway, the like OF which
exists nowhere else under the sun. "

the Park police would drive out such IN
exhortor as dsturber Of the public peace,
or promptly put him under arrest. The
people go there for worldly diversion, and
his preaching against their enjoyment as a
Dissertation Of Sunday would furnish them
with tho moro sport and lead to the gather
ing Of crowd offensive TO good order.
Tho truth Is, II the Central Park itself Is
opened on Sunday, the principle ofSabbatarl-
anism Ia violated the Continental Sunday
replaces the Puritan Sabbath, and the day Is
made a secular holiday when, consistently,
the people should be allowed TO enjoy every
attractive feature Of the Park, as they
can enjoy It on any other holiday. Accord
ingly, tho trustees OF the museum could
offer no reason Of principle for shutting
out tho people from It's enjoyment on Sum
day. Tho opening necessitated the Sunday
employment OF a few attendants, but the
opening OF tho Park within which 1t is COLI
tanned involves Sunday labor for a great force.
The argument for closing on that account
was without force, and 1t could not be urged
by intelligent and reasonable men. Under
the circumstances no argument OF principle
for such q proceeding could be sustained.
Neither could any consistent defence be
maintained against the accusation that II 1t
is wicked for people to amuse themselves at

to SEQ pictures and casts: but as they are
invited to the Park on Sunday tho wicked
ness, II wickednees It is. was already on

II, however, 1t is not wicked, on what prln-
cple can tho people be debarred from any
form of Sunday amusement, in any part Of
the town. which is not provocative Of public
disorder2 The Continental Sunday cannot
be confined to tho Central Park. 1t must
drive out the Puritan Sabbath from New

The Latest Theory of Libel.

About the queorest notion Of what consti-
tutes a libel that ever has fallen under our
notice was the basis OF suit recently insti-
tuted 10 the Qusen's Bench Division OF the
High Court OF Justice In England. which
came up for trial a short time ago In London
before Mr.. Justice DBNMAN and q Jury.
Tho plaintiff was an architect named
GREEN. The defendant was another archi.
tect named ARCHER. These gentlemen had
been In partnership for seventeen years. and
as partners had designed many important
buildings and superintonded their coustruc-
tion. In October. 1889. they parted. In
winding up the Affairs OF tho copartnership
there fell to AncHER's share q number
OF photographs OF the principal build
ings which had been planned and
