TEN QUESTIONS.
Which Teachers May Ask
Themselves.

1. Am I reading professional
books and educational journals
adapted to my work, and trying
to keep in touch with the best
thought of the day?
2. Is each days work planned
and prepared before I begin it?
May I expect satisfactory results
If 1t Is not?
3. Am I cross and irritable?
If 80, is there any excuse for it?
4. Do 1 find myself growing
dictatorial and domineering and
not as mindful of the right ana
feelings of my pupils and their
parents as should be?
5. Do have q great deal of
trouble with disorder, and do 1
have to send great many chill
dren to the principal? If so, is
the fault altogether with my pu-
pills, or is the greater portion of
It in me.
&c. Are my pupils orderly and
systematic in their work, and
are they reasonably studious? If
not, why?
Z. Do realize that my pupils
habits in the school room are
largely due to my own influence?

The Pedagogical
Greed of Louis
H. Jones.
Superintendent of Public
Schools, Cleveland, o.

LIDO not know that my peda-
gogical creed differs mpch
from the general belief
of the average superintend-
emit of schools. However, there
are some things which I do firm
ly believe in reference to the
philosophy of education; SO here I
pen them.
believe that the true basis
for all methods of procedure in
education is q comprehensive
knowledge of man-as child,
youth, and adult;as individual and
az q member of society; as q be-
ing with history and q destiny.
No abstract psychology, nor any
mere child-study, will lay basis
suficiently broad, though both of
them are included in q proper
knowledge of man. Even the
knowledge of man as q person,
without regard to social and ra-
tional characteristics, will not
being must receive considera-
ton.
Having found mans natural
characteristics, and having dis
covered his possible develop
ment, We are in condition to de-
termine our IDEALS of character
and set up our ends of education.
This concludes our first line of
investigation and gives us our
primary set of beliefs.
I believe that the next most
necessary theme for investiga-
ton by the student of education
Is the nature of the various ideas
which constitute the different
branches of learning, and which
must constitute the means of de-
velopmsnt of the human being
who by appropriate activities
learns them. The teacher needs
to know, at least in general
way, the precise use which each
branch of learning is, be stadapted
to serve in the proper education
of the young.
Following the studies here in
dictated I believe it is profitable
to study methods. e., the ra-
tionale of the steps by which the
human being under guidance ap-
propriates and assimilates these
branches of learning so as to Sc.
cure his best, completest, and
most harmonious development.

fewer cases of diphtheris. scarlet

the buildings, except the Central,

might make some arrangement
with the council to have these
grounds sprinkled once or twice

hours and recesses are expected
to get out in the open air, and it
is best that they should, but it is
very dieagreeable for the little
ones to be out in cloud OF dust.
