Trust thou in me and will guide the ever,
Until at last in heaven thou awake.

And as to the teacher, II this is the
best method of determining this
matter the work is not to be consid-
cred. We believe that some form of
examination is essential to the best
interests of the pupil, and we are
decidedly in favor of adhering to
periodic written or oral exanina-
tons until some one suggestsa bet
ter plan. We believe that the spirit
of examinations is in accord with
the experiences of life. The only
true object of knowledge along any
line is that by increased informa-
ton and mental strength we may be
able to command our thoughts
along that line and apply them to
our daily lite, or that we may mar
shall them in proper form to give
them forth to the world. In every
line of occupation men are required
to give evidence of their merit, to
pass a test of their proficiency in
some way or another. Sometimes
men are intrusted with responsible
positions, permitted to enter upon
important duties through misrep-
resentation, but very soon the test
is forced upon them, and TO their
deficiency is added failure. humilia-
ton and disrespect. Better for
them and the world il they had
been required to give evidence OF
their ability before entering upon
those duties. The world is not de-
handing of you today that you fur

YOU demonstrate what you can do.
Life is one continual examination

spelled or copied certain required
number of times, but that certain
amount of mental activity shall be
brought to bear upon II. No doubt
this seems TO be. and Is, the most
difficult point to be decided, but II
must be met and conquered before
any good results can be obtained.
II must be made an object to pupils
to have perfect spelling lessons, and
when this is accomplished, the
teacher is on the high road to sue
cess. Employ any systems of en-
couragements or rewards which
you find helpful, but employ your
best powers toward securing this
end, and the work is well begun,
consequently half done.
Then the lesson must be learned
thorous hly. 1t must be mastered
as the multiplication table is-com-
pletely In the light of our modern
improved methods and plans for
imparting knowledge, we easily for
get that we obtain knowledge only
in exchange for mental labor, and
vainly hope that there may yet be
found some royal road TO learning.
The lesson must be studied by the
brain, and not the lips or fingers.
Surely, If the spelling lesson were
insisted upon with the same firm
ness with which we require the
multiplication table, much of the
present difficulty would he avoided.
In primary grades the recitations
must necessarily be mainly oral,
but in more advanced work judi.
cious combination of written with
oral spelling will be found best.
The written recitation has many adj
vantages which we all know and
cannot fail to appreciate. The oral
recitation, also, has many advant-
ages. which. in these later days,
have been greatly moderated. If a
lively interest and enthusiasm is TO
be awakened which will result in
more commcndable work, better OPP
poriunities are presented in oral
work. II offers a grateful rest after
the period of study which doubt
less Immediately preceded it; and
il thought is bestowed upon it, IA
plan may be devised by which the
attention of every pupil may be Sc
cured. All misspelled words should
be used for future lessons, and they
should be studied until they are
mastered.
But whatever method is adopted,
the teacher must ever act on the
firm conviction that only the most
tireless energy and unwaverirg at
tention will bring about the desired
result. Whatever special rules may
be adopted. this general rule must
be kept clear in the mind-that
spelling il taught only by the most
unrelaXing effort and ceaseless Wig
lance. Other lessons may come to
us in moment of brilliant mental
illumination; this becomes ours
Zine upon line, prccept upon pre-
cept." So we, as teachers. should
make still further demands upon
our well.nigh exhausted stock of
patience, remembering that il is pa
tient attention to detail that makes
the well-rounded scholar as well as
the perfect model.

From the Western School Journal.
Judges and clerks of "a district
bond election are entitled TO pay
for their services the same as judg.
es and clerks of any other election,
and il is the duty of the district
board TO pay them from tile funds
of the district.
. The schoo; board cannot receive
pay for the time spent in supcrin-
tending the building of n new
school house. In making necessary
trips for the district, a school officer
is not entitled to any pay for his
time, but the law certainly does not
contemplate that he should pay
money out of his own pocket for
the benefit of the district, and l am,
therefore, of the opinion that he is
entitled TO all necessary expenses
for making such trips.
