within, and not from without. The very
core OF moral action is found in the personal
determination OF right and wrong. No set
OF rules can take the place of this personal
determination without destroying the vital
spring of moral life. All discipline in
school should be reformatiVe, and not
penal. In the state, punishment must first
satisfy justice. After that it may seek to
improve the guilty. I'm the school, punish
ment must seek to reform the guilty. The
state considers the deed In itself. The
teacher must look not so much to the deed
as TO Its origin, psychological and ethical.
He must take Tito consideration the age of
the pupil, and circumstances OF g miugat-
Ing character. He must consider that the
pupil is growing towaru responsibility, and
SO long as the pupil is under his control he
is in part, responsible for the deed.

A comparison of the number of pupils
per teacher in various cities shows that in
Salt Lake the number is far above the
average. Nine OF the largest cites in iowa
have an average enrolment of "a pupils
per teacher. In Brunswick and Auburn,
Maine, it is 20. In Rochester, N. Y, it is
80. In New Bedford, Mass. and Terre
Raute, Ind, it is 43. But few rooms in
this city have SO few pupils in attendance
as the average i'll these cities, while in
many instances from so to 100 pupils are
huddled together in one room. Experience
shows that the best results are obtained
and greatest economy secured with not
more than 80 or 40 pupils to each teacher.
