SOMB INPEDAGOGICAL NOTES.
Concerning the Responsibilities and Trials
~ of the Teacher.

In the opinion Of most people the SUBJ
Ject OF training the minds and morals
Of the rising generation Is Of such SOL
emn importance that I am almost
afraid to approach 1t In anything but q
reverential attitude.
The instructors at institutes and the
writers in educational journals never
fail to try to impress upon the inner
consciousness of the teacher the re-
sponsibilities OF her position. Accord
ing to them, 1t all depends upon her
whether a boy becomes a preacher or
a pirate. Even the parents aren't "in
it," SO to speak.
I suppose instructors and educational
editors are very much like other people
when you know them, but as I have
never been intimately acquainted even
with one, I always look upon them as
noble beings Of a superior order. Now,
when a noble being talks to you about
responsibility, you cannot help being
impressed. I always am, but in spite
Of that fact l cannot help agreeing
somewhat with Oliver Wendell Holmes
when he asserts that IL you want to re-
form boy you must begin with his
grandfather.
I do not wish the board of control to
infer from this that I desire them to
Immediately inaugurate system of
higher education. in which the REFORM
alton Of grandfathers shall play a
leading part, and set the teachers at
work in that direction.
We are also being constantly told
that our calling is such a noble one we
ought to be glad to devote our lives to
1t. We are promised the reward of
virtue in this world and a golden crown
in the next. For some time past !

WHY AM STILL A TEACHER.

Having found that my work In the
schoolroom was slowly but surely de-
stroying my health, beauty and amia-
BILE disposition and unlike the great
Pestalozzi, or the prosecuted Horace
Mann, being unwilling to become q
martyr in the sacred cause and be re-
warded with monument one hundred
years after my departure from this
life, / resolved to change my profess
sion, and seek some work. less irksome
and more soothing to my shattered
nerves. To make an advantageous
change, however was not an easy mat
ter, as I very soon learned.
A friend, who represents large pub
fishing house in New York city, had
long desired me to join her. the pros
pect was alluring in many ways, but
one awful peril which threatens the
book agents life deferred me,-my NOR
bid fear Of dogs. frequently pictured
myself about to ring q doorbell, SILENT
ly rehearsing my Introductory speech,
when am suddenly startled by the ap-
pearance Of a fierce dog bounding to-
wards me, my screams attracting not
only the inmates Of the house, but the
passersby as we'll, terror rendering me

Incapable Of stating my mission. flight
and safety being my only desire: until
the vision became terrible reality and
! decided that was never intended for
the Bohemian life of book agent.
I was not disheartened, however. for
I knew Of another field of usefulness
for which felt well adapted. SO I eag-
erly watched the advertisement column
Of the daily papers and at length my
from q distant city:-"Wanted-Ani in
telligent. refined and agreeable young
lady as q companion to a demented
youth. Must be good walker. Ad-
dress with references, etc" Now, al
though I had taken many long walks
accompanied by youths who were moro
or less demented, yet I was not quite
equal to the constant society of such an
unsafe creature and the thought Of
chasing him for miles. perhaps. II ne
should try to escape from my surveil-
lance, was too much for my poor brain.
so l did not apply for the attractive
post and was again on the sea Of un-
certainty realizing that "Tis better to
suffer the ills We know" than fly to
those Of a book agent or companion.
And now at last, after many anxious
days. vainly trying to determine my
future calling, ! have an inspiration:
i will write book, a marvellous book.
one which will cause profound sensa-
ton. which will give the authoress sud
den and lasting fame. whose advent in
the literary world will far outshine the
coming Of the Heavenly Twins" and
beside which even "Trilby" will sink
into oblivion. How shall begin? Will
my story be modelled after one of Rhoda
Broughton's exquisite love-tales or will
a stately Romola be my heroine ?Will
she be q weird Elsie Venner. or a lovely
Florence Dombey? Perhaps I may
have a hero as well, Van Bibber for
instance, or a modern Jack Harkaway
contending with the cultured Indians
Of the East instead of the Western
braves. Whether my hero and heroine
will meet in the twilight or the NOON
light. by the restless sea or on the
rugged mountain, whether the story Of
their love will be q sad requiem or q
joyous anthem l do not yet know
But l am really getting too romantic
and all this may be considered entirely
too frivolous for a dignitied teacher, for
I was requested to write some Of my
experiences in the school-room and you
see have not done so, on the contrary.
l have told you how ! tried to leave the
but have been honest at least, for
might have been hypocrite and told
you that would not exchange my posi-
tion for even a titled foreigner, and
can only hope that my honesty may be
rewarded by as flattering an encomium
as was given by my little pupil who
said George Washington was a very
great and noble man. although he never
told lie."
Yet, after all. know that my quest
has not been entirely in vain substan-
tiating as It does the beautiful truth
palma non sine pulvere."
