The teacher should tend toward the
perfection OF moral excellence as his
Ideal. OF course he will never reach
this high plane; but II we examine
closely we shall find that no great per-
fect1On has Eel been reached in any
sphere under the guidance Of an ideal
:attainable ut the time Of reaching 1t. 1t
1s hard for a teacher to govern unless
he ts bulwarked by a great moral force.
There is something in the breast Of a
vicious child v which compels him to
respect and admire an upright y and
orderly life. AS to whether teachers
should engage in playing with the pu-
pills, take part in their sports, and, In
fast, be as one of them at recess and at
other times Of leisure, has been a ques-
ton of deep concern to me. II the
teacher can do this and still preserve
the highest respect of his pupils. such
an association between himself and
them should by all means be recom-
mended. This requires no little genius,
and, unless fully conscious Of power to
rise above all obstacles, 1t is better to
maintain a respectful distance. In
'timacy no doubt breeds contempt. The
pupils should feel that the teacher is
their superior friend. Pupils should
fear the teacher, but this fear should be
so blended with love and admiration as
not to be brought into consideration
prominently. A celebrated writer and
preacher has said that fear is one Of the
essentials of the highest types of re-
spect.
A brilliant young educator once re-
marked in my hearing that students
should feel as II their teacher was their
master. While I did not agree with him,
1 observed that his discipline in actual
work vas sound. 1 do believe that the
teacher should feel himself to be master
of the situation, for self-confldence Is
as necessary in teaching as in all other
NOcations.
Personal magnetism Is an essential in
school discipline. This in u great meas
ure is born in the teacher.
1t is difficult to lay down fixed rules
for getting it. 1 can we'll remember,
when l recited the same branch to diff
fcscnt professors, what IL difference in
magnetism existed between them.
When Judge Somerville entered the
lecture-room, most respectful quiet set
tied at once upon all the class. There
was an untiring attention to his every
word. All eyes seemed fixed upon him
as he proceeded with the most prosy of
lessons. He impaired to them u life and
freshness peculiarly his own. He did
not talk much, but to tho point always.
There is this fault OF talking too much
among many teachers. Pupils
times reach the point where they pay
more attention to silence on the part of
the teacher than to his lectures. The
pupils should understand that, when the
teacher talks, there is something being
said of great worth and wealth to them.
and that, If they lose it, they have lost
something more precious thar Jewels of

A short Tariff SERMON,
Free trada and novartv GRO S;o m

Free trade and poverty are Siamese
twins.
In free trade England there were
l,3l7,lO4 paupers, exclusive of lunatics
and Migrants, in the year lS90.9l.
They included persons of all ages.
There were 3l5.451 under Ii vears of
age, or about three in every hundred of
the total population of similar age.
Between l6 and 80 years, there were
59l ,7M, or about foul to every hundred
OF same age.
Eight in each hundred of those be-
tween 10 and 65 years, or Is, SS9 in all,
are paupers.
Over % years, twenty-six out of every
pend on public charity, of whom the
total amounts to 343 ,9.62.
These are estimates made by General
Booth, of the Salvation Army, in his re-
Gently issued book, "Pauperism, A
Picture."
While strength and health lasts, the
sturdy Briton, as . rule, bears up some-
how, no matter how low his wages,
against the burdens of his miserable
tree trade existence.
But when old age draws near he is
forced to the poorhouse to end his
days.
Here is Gen. Booths own pathetic
comments on the sad facts he sets
forth:
Old age fares hardly in our times.
Life runs more intensely than it did,
and the OLD tend to be thrown out.
The community gains by this, but the
old suffer.
They suffer beyond any measure of
actual incapacity, for the fact that a man

Immigration from Germany aud 0rsas

1t las been estimated by the free
trade advocates that Germany, with her
protective tariff, is furnishing more i'm

question is asked. Why?
The proposition is not correctly stat

92,42a immigrants, while Great Britain,
not including Wales, sem lbs, 34O. This
