THOUGHTS FOR TEACHERs,
Be not weary in well doing.

be not weary IN well doing.
Virtue is crystalized good taste.
The teacher cannot think for the child.
What men have done they may do again
You will never lose by doing good act
Spare moments are the gold dust of time.
Try to be interesting as well as interested
Learning makes man fit company fol
himself
Society lays a large amount of selfsac.
rifce upon the teacher.
The test of student is not how much be
knows, but how much he wants to know.
Education begins the gentleman. but
reading, good company, and reflection
must finish him.
Politeness is indispensable in teachers
intercourse with fellow teachers, the school
authorities and the pupils.
1t is right to punish for wrong doing; but
efforts to prevent disobedience are more
effective in promoting the welfare of the
school.
The purpose of education is to give TO the
body and to the soul all the beauty aud all
the perfection of which they are capable.
A teacher should grow almost as much
each year as the pupil he teaches. Study,
experience and good thinking will alone
make this possible.
The small boy who defined faith as "try-
ing to believe something that you know
isn't SO" would undoubtedly define duty
as something nobody likes to do"
The test of good teacher is not how
many questions hecan ask his pupils that
they will answer readily, but how many
questions he inspires them to ask him
which he finds it hard to answer.

CURRENT EVENTS.

1t would seem that the declaration that
there is nothing new under the sum- does
not refer to these days. Science is photo
graphing the bones of living animals and
soon the people whose greatest pleasure is
to recite their numerous ills to the great
disgust of their enforced listners, can sill all
day long with reflected mirror and view
the causes of their complaints and aches.
An exchange says of the science:
Each day is making more apparent. the
benefits which the world is going to derive
from the so-called new photography. 1t
seems, especially. that a man may now
lock into the heretofore unknown subject
of his bones. just what sort of skelton
nature has foisted upon man is someth-
ing which, in the past. he has known little
about We do not, of course, refer to the
skeleton said to be concealed in the closet
of many worthy people, but to the actual
personal skelton ich accompanies man
in his daily walk. The courts, not to men.
tion the sensational newspapers, have long
attended to the closet skeletons, but the
revelations concerning the other skeleton
must all devolve upon the new photo
graphy. If nature has given a man any
damaged, misfit. or Gas printer would put
it) wrong-font bones, he may now know
all about them, and the step between
knowing and applying a remedy will pro-
baby, as usual, be short. The time is at
hand when man, finding that he has q
bone not upto the standard in any way,
can have it taken out sent to the proper
place, repaired and returned to his address.
This sign may yet confront us in side
streets: Bones Repaired and Altered
While You Wait"

THE citizens of Delaware are greatly
indebted to the Philadelphia Inquirer
for it's unique and complete exposure OF

A jury has heard and passed upon the

is that the verdict is just one. There
are those who believe that the chief
offender, the leader and instigator in
all cruelty, has escaped because in this
part ocular case the courts considered
be did not get his hand in. The TRAM
SCRIPT with many others did not give
credit to the reports at the time the
Inquirer made its exposure, but It is
evident that there has been cause for
complaint serious cause and thorough
investigation has leen much better

GFORGE WASHINGTON:

ssFirst in peace, first in war, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen,' y
is as true to-day as it was tie first
time it was spoken of George Washing
ton, the First President of the United
! States. This country has undoubtedly
produced greater men, abler soldiers,
wiser statesmen, but Washington at q
critical time in the worlds history as
well as in the history of this country,
measured up to the heroic standard ;
a man who saw his duty and did it; a
man who in forgetting self to serve his
country gained name and fame sec
ond to none in the history of the world.
Upon this anniversary of his birth it
is well to consider his character, to
study his life, to learn lessons from his
example. As boy be was not only
truthful and manly, as attested by the
cherry tree story which we heard and
believed in childhood and which we
always expect to believe, but he was
an athlete, as a clipping on our first
page shows. If he lived to-day he
would be foremost in the college sports
and would excel in bicycle race. And
why not? 1t is not the use but the
abuse of these manly sports that wreck
SO many lives. There is danger in ex-
cess. More people die from excessive
eating, acting he glutton; than from
drinking, yet that is no argument for
taking a little stimulent "for the
stomach's sake" or any other sake.
Washington was temperate, and in
that was his safety.
Washington always played fair. He
despised meaness. 1t is a quest ion
whether he could be elected Presid ent
of the United States were he alive to-
day the same in character and without
the influence of his fame. There is so
much of the unfair in these latter days
that Washington's high sense of honor
must needs condemn it, and the "boys"
would be against him. Washington
was not without his failings and he
had his secret enemies as well as open
ones during his life. The Washingtons
Of to-day, and there are more of them
than people think, can with Henry
Clay say, 81 had rather be right than be
President. 1t pays to do the right.
The school children Of to-day may
well study the life and character Of
Washington; to compare and contrast
them with the lives Of other great men; /;
to draw useful lesson from them.
What does this holiday mean? Why
should the birthday Of George WASH
ington be celebrated, the only national
celebration of a birthday in all our
anniversaries? An nswer to this.ques-
tion should be given in every house.

TRANSCRIPT of Feb. 81:
"The TRANSCRIPT will not uphold
wrong doing in its political friends.
"The assessment of a man can do
no great harm as he is compelled to
register before he can vote. He must
have residence and prove it and the
registration and voting districts are SO
very small that every man is known

be done by them."
