The Unconscious
Element In
Discipline.
BY HENRY s. BAKER

A teacher once came into a
school, of which 1 was principal,
and took charge of room In
good condition. She had ten
years. experience, q superior ed
ucation and q commanding pres
ence. In three days the room
was noisy and idle; ia ten days,
in very serious disorder; in q
month, In rebellion: and the best
pupils under other teachers
seemed to be Inspired to do all
the bad deeds possible to child
of eleven years. What the teach
err told them to do was the one
thing they would not do. They
were rapidly becoming fiends
who could only hate and sin. Her
successor was lady of little ex-
perience, of girlish figure and
presence, and with Griding knowl-
edge of graded work. In three
days they we're studious and or
derby; in q week they began to
ask her what they might do for
her: and in two weeks 1 told her
to forbid them the privilege of
coming to her deck in droves be-
fore the formal opening of school.
The little ruffians of her prede-
cessor were studying with a ven-
geance, and actually ambitious
to please her by hard study and
the best of conduct. And yet,
every visible advantage was
with her predecessor. The form
er teacher would ruin q child's
disposition in q year, and the
latter make the sourest ones
anna BILE; far greater and more
valuable result than the teach
ing of little addition or divi-
sion.
A certain teacher, to whom the
progress of her class was not all
she wished, consoled herself

defect, study something, If en-
tirely outside of your work; keep
your mind active by constant ex-
ercise, and the pupils will soon
catch the inspiration. A Hop
kins, q Mott, a Garfield-sll were
famous because in this power OF
ins 81 alton they were superior to
other men. They also loved
young men.
While we read that God made
man in his owo image, we should
not forget that teacher makes
the pupils under him into images
of himself. Are you pleased
with your hsndiwork, mentally
and morally?
A noted thinker said that
character was not what we saw
in action in a man, but what we
saw in reserve for great emergen-
cies.Tc cay that q teacher should
have self-control, aud self-pos-
session, In the narrow sense of
the words, is can't. To say the
same, with the broader meaning
of being able to concentrate the
whole mindu pom given point
and hold it there, to bring up for
use all the knowledge he has &C.
quired, is to utter a truth of su-
preme value. Such q character
makes his pupils thinkers.
Conscious instruction, moral
or Intellectual, Is often resisted
by the pupil. Children Nv
nature conscious initiate. OF
stronger natures. 1t also SEE us
to be an iron law that they must
always unconsciously initiate and
rapidly become like their teach
ers. In this process there is no
friction. In the domain of in
tellect, the fact is important be-
cause the habit of mind which
they silently imbibe from the
teacher is far more potent force
IN. their growth than tbs few facts
they gather. But in discipline,
the truth, so often unobserved,
that the pupils acquire the dis
position of the teacher, Is the
central principle of the science
of school government.
