ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEL.

Next in importance to good teaching Is
 the work of the supervisor. The school
 visitor ought to be a trained and experi- enced teacher, an expert whose whole time and study should be devoted to the | inspection of schools and the instruction
 of teachers. The school system of the | town should be wound up like that of a | factory to produce certain results; and
 over it all the superintendent is the head
 and responsible agent. School document | number three has the following sensible
 and kindly suggestions: Supervision, to
 be helpful, should be inventive as to ways
 and means. Assuming the teacher to be one of worth, helpful supervision should
 suggest rather than dictate, should in- spect for the purpose of building up in
 stead of crticising to pull down, should ! strive to create a wholesome sentiment among parents and taxpayers toward the school and the teacher. To be helpful, supervision should make it's suggestions
 kindly,yet firmly and patiently it should carefully discriminate between real and fancied grievances, and should be fear
 less dispenser of justice under all crcum- | stances.
 Supervision should secure for the teach CT opportunities and means for improve
 ment. Many of the teachers in the rural districts are limited in their educat ion as
 well as in experience and should be en- couraged to study not only the daily work of the school, but also to study
 methods of instruction, methods of disci- | pline and school government, ,and outside | subjects for self-improvement; and so be stimulated in their work with the expec- | tation of promotion in due time. l Let teachers library be established | containing those works useful if not in | dispensable to the teacher, so many of | which can be obtained at the present day. | The teachers attention can then be di-
 rected to such as specially meet her
 wants. Such library can readily be | formed and sustained by the contribution
 of a small part of the library funds of each district.
 The teacher can be impressed with the | importance and high nature of her calling
 in general, and of the seriousness of her mission in the particular school in which her work lies. She should be questioned ! closely about her work in general and in | detail; she can easily be led into discus | sions of manners and methods of teaching I-her own and those of others.
 As much as possible should be made of
 the teacher socially. Her office should
 be magnified. Reports of attendance and | other matters of interest should be pub
 lished and circulated either by means of
 the local paper, or by printed tracts. 1 AS term after term goes by and the | visitor sees the cooperation obtained, ,the | interest excited and the enthusiasm
 aroused by pursuing these plans, he will | be amply repaid for the trouble he takes
 in carrying them into effsct.-[O. o. l Wright.

When opposite Smith & Murray's he was taken with violent fit of coughing and before he could compose himself he had coughed his brand new false teeth right out on to the sidewalk.
