TEACHING.--THE OLD VERSUS
THE NEW,
BY SuperintendentG G. C. Tindal.

How prone we are as teachers to al
low our work to run along narrow and
well-worn grooves
Through long usage, a given way Of
doing thing becomes permanently
fixed. Yea, it is transmitted as an in
heritance.
To learn in what order and in what
manner the great educators would have
us teach requires much hard study.
We like not to make the effort or the
sacrifice. Sufficient for us is the fact
that the school machinery runs along
smoothly.
A farmer once persisted in going to
mill on horseback with grain in one
end of the sack and a stone in the
other end to serve as balance. Such
had been the custom of his father and
of his grandfather before him. 1t was
sacrilegious to question their judg-
ment, and so the poor animal had to
trudge along with an improbable
burden.
Just so it is with too many of us
Delaware teachers. We go on teaching
as our teachers taught us. and as their
teachers taught them, and so on ad-
infinitum. We compare our work with
a past standard. The comparison is
not to our discredit and we content
ourselves with our achievement.
The fault lies with our standard of
comparison. We should have taken
an ideal standard of teaching and its
results, and then we should have COM
pared our way of teaching and its re-
suits with these. Where is this ideal
standard to come from? From all
Those sources of knowledge that serve
to make teaching productive of better
results, from the lectures at the

A Business Epitnph.

81 was hunting for odd epitaphs, !"
said Tennessee newspaper man, ''and
in cemetery In my own state l came
across one that was inscribed upon n
neat granite monument and read in
this way: Sacred to the memory of
John Smith, for 20 years senior partner
of the firm of Smith & Jones, now ]. j.
Jones & Co.
"Of course the names weren't really
Smith and Jones, but l don't want to
hurt anybody's feelings, and they will
answer for the purposes of the story.
l met Jones later, and he gave me a
frank explanation of the inscription.
"'Smith was a bachelor without rel
atives,' he said, but he knew a tre-
mendous lot of country people, and if
any of them happened to see his grave
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out of bust
ness. So | thought it no more than
right to let them know that the firm
was still alive
Il complimented him upon his good
Judgment"

Won by the Dog.

"When l was juvenile player in one
of the fly by day leagues" says Nc
Graw, 81 saw the funniest ending to a
game of baseball on record. The score
at IA innings was still a tie, but the
visitors had last chance. Murphy came
to bat and sent a slashing hit to left.
The fielder chased the ball and so did a
stray dog. The canine got there first,
grabbed the ball in his mouth and
started to have some fun, dropping the
ball and then picking it up again when
the fielder got near. In the meantime
Murphy was making time around the
bases and long before the fielder sue
ceeded in sandbagging the ki-yi the
winning run was scored. There was
huge kick, but the umpire allowed the
run on the ground that the home club
should have kept the field clear of all
spectators"

The Oalcial COR Guide.

The Official Golf Guide for 1900 has
just been issued, a;.l it shows mark
ed improvement in accuracy and de-
tail over the first American golf guide
Of that character published last year.
The large number Of SI4 clubs are
mentioned, nearly every one having a
brief description Of its course, with dis.
tances given Of each hole, names Of
the officers, requirements for admis-
sion and other interesting information.
New York still maintains its reputation
as the premier state in golf, as 153
clubs are devoted to the game within
its boundaries. Massachusetts is a
good second, with ia clubs; Pennsyl-
vania, 80; New Jersey, 81; Illinois, 40;
Connecticut, At; California, ~; New
Hampshire, 80; Ohio, 81; Maine, %,
and Michigan, 81. Montana, Utan,
South Dakota, Louisiana, Nevada, the
Bahamas and New Mexico have one
club each. Complete tables of all the
open, amateur and women's champion
ships played in America are given.

BLIND AS A BAT.
But That Fact Wasn't Mentioned
When the HOrae Was Sold.

But That Fact Wasn't Mentioned
When the HOrse Was Sold.
David Harum was good horse trad
er, but recent transaction in horse
flesh which was made by well known
Memphian shows that there are others
who know how to get the long end of
a horse trade. Several weeks ago this
Memphis man saw fine buggy horse,
which he thought he wanted. He To-
Gated the owner and asked the price.
"One fifty" was the reply. After look
ing the animal over closely and trying
her speed he concluded 1t was a good
trade and without more ado wrote q
check for the amount. The next day
he found that the mare was as blind as
bat, but this did not hinder her speed
or detract from her general appear
ance. He drove the animal for several
weeks and succeeded in attracting the
admiration of another lover of horse
flesh, who made q proposal to pur-
chase.
'Well," said the Memphian, 81 gave
$3.50 for her, but l will let you have
her for $1G5."
The prospective owner looked the
animal over and concluded he had
bargain. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
unhitched, the first thing she did was
to run against post and then by way
of emphasizing the fact that she was
blind fell over barrel. The next day
the buyer came back to the Memphian
with blood in his eye.
"Colonel, you know that mare you
sold me-" he began. "Well, she's stone
blind"
II know it" replied the colonel, with
an easy air.
"You didn't say anything to me
about it," said the purchaser, his face
reddening with anger.
swell, I'll tell you,' replied the colo
mel "That fellow who sold her to me
didn't tell me about it, and just CON
cluded that he didn't want it known"
The newcomer took his medicine and
is now on the lookout for a friend on
whom he can even things.-Memphis

HIGHER IDEALS NEEDED.

One of the most serious obstacles to
the improvement in the quality OF
teaching in Delaware schools to-day is
the want of clearly defined ideals,
backed by laudable ambition ito attain
those ideals.
How many candidates there are who
come to the teachers examinations
without making careful preparation
therefor. The very fact that one is
capable of entering upon this import
ant task without a most thorough re-
view OF the branches to be examined
upon, is of itself evidence that the can
didate is lacking in one of the essential
qualities of the good teacher.
In the teaching fraternity, if any
where, there is need of those who do
not consider their work we'll enough
done so long as they are capable OF
improving it.
The teacher who undertakes the
Importance of study himself is not the
person to strongly impress this idea
teacher to do credit to any school.
Again, how often do candidates in
an examination stop short with just as
little work as TO them seems sufficient
to merit the most Indifferent kind of
certificate, instead of striving with all
their mental strength to put on their
papers the greatest number possible Of
their best ideas, and in the best for
in which they can express them. What
is the significance of all this?
Let me point it out. The teacher
who in the examination is careless
about holding herself up to her very
best standard of work is likewise care
less as teacher in holding her pupils
up to their best efforts.
1t must be kept in mind that our
rate of improvement in our studies is
measured by the degree of effort put
forth. granting that the effort is
rational.
We learn to do better only by doing
our best. Whether we are preparing
for an examination, or in the process
of taking the examination, we should
regard nothing less than our very best
efforts as worthy of ourselves.
AS the foot of the rainbow advances
when we approach it, SO will our ideals
advance as we work toward them. We
can attain high ideals in the future
only by pressing hard toward those
we now possess.

This column is not designed to take
the place of school papers, books on
teaching, etc. It's purpose is rather to
supplement these means of improv-
ment, and to disseminate among our
teachers much matter that is of local
interest merely.
In this way it will be possible to
bring about greater unity of action
among the teachers Of the State. Here
will be space for those who have mes
sage that is worthy of communication
to their fellow teachers, and likewise
there will be room for such questions
and answers as may be relevant to the
public schools of the State.

A Superstition of Jim corbett,.


Variety performers and baseball play
ers are responsible for two-thirds Of
the slang that italicizes the American
language, and they are also to be held
accountable for similar amount of
the superstitions of the day. They be-
lieve firmly in "mascots'' and "hoo-
doos," and so do a large majority Of
fighters.
Anent this fact Billy Brady played it
low down on Corbett at Coney Island.
One of Corbett's superstitions is that
1t is unlucky for a fighter to be the first
to enter the ring when he is about to
engage in a contest. He forced Sulli-
van to enter the ring first at New Or
leans, and he defeated him. He in
tended TO make Jeffries enter the ring
first at Coney Island, but Brady had
big Ed Dunkhorst wear blue sweater
similar to the one that incased Jeffries'
body. When the men left their dress
ing rooms, Jeffries preceded Corbett
and his seconds.
When they got to the ring, however,
Jeffries squatted down outside of it.
and Dunkhorst. surrounded by Jeffries'
seconds. ascended the steps and took
seat on Jeffries' stool. Jeffries' sec
onds then closed in around him. and
Corbett was notified that "Jeffries is
in the ring" He made his appearance
Immediately thereafter and entered the
ring clothed in big bathrobe.
Hardly had he taken his seat on his
stoo! before ,Jeffries climbed into the
ring, dispossessed Dunkhorst and took
his seat in his corner. When Corbett
saw this maneuver, he was visibly mo-
mentarily chagrined.

Whose whitest day, pricked back by darkest pine
Made shimmering tumult where the thick stems

Sweet as the sigh of summer in the south.
Athirst for autumn and the purple vine.

plication. Have your pupils to solve
many problems of their own making
Ask them to bring newspapers to
school. Direct them to turn to the
stock quotations, and from data taken
therefrom to make up and work prob
lens. Have them change investments
in one kind of stock to that of anothe,
and work the problems to see whether
the income has been increaced or de-.
creased.
Now your pupils should be ready for
the book. If the work of preparation
and presentation has been we'll done
the pupils will work all the problems
in the book without aid from the
teacher. Here is the standard by
which the teacher is to measure the
thOroughness of her work. If her
pupils falter and blunder and do poor
work she should seek the cause in the
preparation and the presentation. The
responsibility rests with the teacher
not with the pupil. 1t is a poor teach
er, indeed, that works for her pupils
the problems in the book, but this is
the easiest way to get rid OF a difficult
task. To give the pupils power to work
unaided at their seats, the teacher
must have ability to use the recitation
periods very largely or entirely in this
preparatory phase. No teacher can do
this well without much careful study
OF the best methods of teaching.

was probably the best known oarsman
In the United States. He won races
against the best amateurs everywhere
and still holds the short distance rec

Falling under the ban of the Nation
